description: Book Description The compelling new novel from the award-winning author of THE EXECUTION CHANNEL and THE NIGHT SESSIONS Product Description Imagine a near-future city say London where medical science has advanced beyond our own and a single-dose pill has been developed that taken when pregnant eradicates many common genetic defects from an unborn child. Hope Morrison mother of a hyperactive four-year-old is expecting her second child. She refuses to take The Fix as the pill is known. This divides her family and friends and puts her and her husband in danger of imprisonment or worse. Is her decision a private matter of individual choice or is it tantamount to willful neglect of her unborn child? A plausible and original novel with sinister echoes of 1984 and Brave New World. About the Author Since graduating from Glasgow University in 1976 Ken MacLeod has worked as a computer analyst in Edinburgh. He now writes full-time.
