Ark Baby

Five years have passed since a mysterious millennial downpour sent Homo Britannicus hurtling towards extinction.

As a 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. 'Superb ... a complex, intelligent novel which draws upon a vast array of ideas without ever losing coherence ... wonderfully funny fiction' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'As much a comedic riff on the assumptions of social progress as it is on the eccentricities of natural selection ... think of Ark Baby as "Monty Python's Origin of Species"' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
