A CHILD WILL BE BORN WHO WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING
When a young American academic Talissa Adam offers to carry another woman's child, she has no idea of the life-changing consequences.
Behind the doors of the Parn Institute, a billionaire entrepreneur plans to stretch the boundaries of ethics as never before. Through a series of IVF treatments, which they hope to keep secret, they propose an experiment that will upend the human race as we know it.
Seth, the baby, is delivered to hopeful parents Mary and Alaric, but when his differences start to mark him out from his peers, he begins to attract unwanted attention.
The Seventh Son is a spectacular examination of what it is to be human. It asks the question: just because you can do something, does it mean you should? Sweeping between New York, London, and the Scottish Highlands, this is an extraordinary novel about unrequited love and unearned power.
This was an interesting storyline. Whilst it was futuristic, it was not in a spacey/roboty way. Really thought provoking and loved the vision of the future portrayed in places.
I felt so sorry for Seth our main male character as I can’t imagine not feeling feelings but also not being aware that other people felt feelings or had dreams. I did however envy his sense of animal awareness as I wish I could understand what my dog is thinking!
Our other main character again I felt for as she gave up her relationship and feel that she never fully knew what to do with herself after that initial London visit.
This will be released on the 7th of September - you can pre-order here
