Something unique had happened to the habitat of humans. A curse, much like that of the great flood, had descended upon the planet. The destiny of man was once again called into question.\u003cbr\u003e The sky turned dark and the sun was shrouded, as a silent rain of dust fell upon every corner of the earth. It came to be known as the Barren Meteors. The name seemed appropriate; for the curse of sterility they would be blamed for. It was no coincidence. After the tiny meteors had fallen from the sky, no further humans would be born. Scientists could only conclude; it was this extraordinary phenomenon which had made humans infertile.\u003cbr\u003e The human race was headed for extinction. In more than a dozen years, no human child had anywhere been born. Something had gone haywire with the human reproductive system; but no one knew why.\u003cbr\u003e Every nation was desperate for new citizens. Without inhabitants to populate it, there would be no nation. As the elderly passed away, no new blood flowed into society. Schools were no longer needed; there were no pupils to attend. As workers died out, fewer and fewer replacements were available. Companies, cities, nations, were all looking for hope; that somewhere, somehow, children might again appear.\u003cbr\u003e Such was the case when Monica, the daughter of two doctors, was discovered to be pregnant. Pregnant? No one gets pregnant; so everyone thought. But could pregnancy become a curse rather than a blessing?\u003cbr\u003e In a world without children, it could be very dangerous to have a child. Like gold or a precious gem, a child would be highly prized by others. What price might be put on the head of a child, or that of a pregnant woman?\u003cbr\u003e To keep their daughter safe, so these parents thought; it was necessary to find a safe sanctuary until the baby was born. Or perhaps longer.\u003cbr\u003e Their trip into hiding would become quite an adventure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stevan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798325849756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Stevan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852484718847,"sku":"9798325849756","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beneath-the-firmament-stevan-9798325849756","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
