From Hugo Award nominated author comes a high-octane post-apocalyptic romp set in the ruins of Manhattan. Years ago, Tomorrow - a noxious cloud of funky gas - descended on Manhattan, cutting the island off from the rest of the world and mutating the remaining population. Now, survivors exist amid the rubble of modernity, wearing cast-off clothing from generations past, worshipping celebrities from the past as ambivalent gods and communicating through roughly drawn emojis. Manhattan exists in a state of delicate balance between neighbourhoods, with each group protecting themselves with Molotov cocktails and scrap metal spears. But when the first tourist in centuries arrives on the island under mysterious circumstances, the uneasy web tangled between factions is about to unravel… Frantic and full of anarchy, Tomorrow's Children is a high-octane dystopian tale from Hugo Award nominated author Daniel Polansky.

To what extent should parents be allowed to use reproductive technologies to determine the characteristics of their future children? And is there something morally wrong with parents who wish to do this? Choosing Tomorrow's Children provides answers to these (and related) questions. In particular, the book looks at issues raised by selective reproduction, the practice of choosing between different possible future persons by selecting or deselecting (for example) embryos, eggs, and sperm. Wilkinson offers answers to questions including the following. Do children have a 'right to an open future' and, if they do, what moral constraints does this place upon selective reproduction? Should parents be allowed to choose their future children's sex? Should we 'screen out' as much disease and disability as possible before birth, or would that be an objectionable form of eugenics? Is it acceptable to create or select a future person in order to provide lifesaving tissue for an existing relative? Is there a moral difference between selecting to avoid disease and selecting to produce an 'enhanced' child? Should we allow deaf parents to use reproductive technologies to ensure that they have a deaf child?

In this exhilarating futuristic tale of adventure and mystery, the Author takes us into a different world full of new ideas and technology incorporated within a highly imaginative modern story yet encompassing the type of magic and wizardry to be found in Harry Potter; the suspense and awe of the James Bond era; and the odd touch of pantomime.Setting out on a thrilling journey involving situations steeped in suspense, our young protagonist, Yani, finds himself involved not only in seemingly insurmountable difficulties and dangers, powerful influences, and heretofore unimagined dilemmas, but also the blossoming of his personal development as he experiences the stirrings of first love. The situations in which he finds himself are examples of courage overcoming adversity, convincingly catalogued by the author. The scenes highlighting the training of the youngsters are particularly thought-provoking and inciting.This story, interspersed with some beautiful scenic descriptions, is the first of a Trilogy entitled "Legend of the Ells" and proves without doubt the Author's prowess with a pen.

Beautifully written, with heartbreaking honesty, Etched in Sand is an unforgettable reminder that regardless of social status, the American Dream is still within reach for those who have the desire and the determination to succeed.
