Invitation

by Don Miller

The world is in trouble. Growing political unrest, cataclysmic cancer rates and an unprecedented economic downturn have even the most optimistic citizens fearful of the future. Then the unthinkable happens - human conception stops. As it becomes clear that nowhere in the world are babies being conceived, full-blown panic ensues. Marshal law is imposed in the United States and it becomes evermore obvious that the President isn't in control. Two couples, both pregnant before conception stopped, fearing for their lives and the lives of their unborn children contemplate a desperate plan to escape the madness before it's too late.

Great book! Makes you wonder what you would do if you were in such a situation. Would love a sequel to find out what happens next.

In this futuristic dystopian novel, the world is in crisis. The Sun causes cancer more readily because the ozone layer is pretty much gone. Women have stopped conceiving. And there have been numerous UFO sightings. This causes world wide panic. People are actually stealing babies and even murdering pregnant women to extract the babies from their bodies and sell them on the black market. Looting and rioting are rampant. In the midst of all this insanity, John and Megan suddenly find themselves expecting a child. They figure that Megan conceived the day before worldwide conception stopped. Their baby maybe one of the last ever born if this crisis is not solved. But can John protect Megan from the evils of this world so the baby has a chance to be born?
A little slow to start but this book proves to be most entertaining. It was well written and planned out and easy for the reader to follow. The characters were well developed and believable. The story does not only give off a dystopian vibe but also has a feel of espionage in it. All in all this was a great story and I would definitely recommend this book.
