Ectopia takes place sixteen years into a baking world in which no more girls have been born.
It's set in London, in the flatlands around Heathrow. Planes don't fly any more. Heathrow is now Cromozone, a genetic research station. The streets are run by teensquads, state-sponsored groups of boys. A lead runner among them is Steven, the gay twin of the last girl Karen. Their mother swells in size. Their Dad treats Karen as bait. He turns the house into a fortress and draws a teensquad into battle.
Meanwhile a Council of Women is inventing an Eden, and aim to put Karen and Steven at the heart of it.
A dystopian novel from an award winning author, in the line of Brave New World and The Handmaid's Tale.
