Five years have passed since a mysterious
millennial downpour sent Homo Britannicus hurtling towards extinction.But as the Fertility Crisis deepens,Bobby Sullivan, veterinary surgeon and Elvis fan,has other things on his mind - such as fleeing
London for illegally exterminating the cherished baby-ish substitute of a litigious pet-owner.
Changing his name to Buck de Savile,the vet sets up in the northern coastal town of Thunder Spit - only to discover that the town is being haunted by the past life
and unusual genesis of the Victorian freak Tobias Phelps. . . .as the century's
logic,religion,magic and science begin to connect,two men,three women and Queen
Victoria's entire bestiary find themselves catapulted into a hilarious tale of rampant Darwinism,vegetarian conversion, true love and extinction.
Compelling,exuberant and richly imagined,
Ark Baby is a gala feast of a novel, sparkling with ideas and issues.
Author's 2nd novel.See also rja25067[EGG DANCING] for another title by this author, her highly acclaimed debut novel.
