Produktbeschreibung

Before anyone begins reading this or is instantly put off by a few graphs and pie charts, please remember this is a novel. It is about the effect of human overpopulation on a young man living in an overcrowded and increasingly troubled mega city in the year 2050 and of his meeting with his uncle, a University Professor of Biology. The Professor, a long-term advocate of pro-active human population control, is serving a sentence in an open prison related to his strong, some might say extremist, beliefs.
No-one can forecast with any accuracy what the world will be like for young people in thirty years' time. If anything, the story is meant as a warning and if it touches a nerve and leads to serious global discussion on a solution to overpopulation it will have served its purpose. Overpopulation is, after all, the cause of most modern human problems from climate change, environmental damage and loss of wildlife to conflict and mass migration, though the connection is rarely made for reasons which one can only assume are sensitivities about the subject and a total lack of viable and morally acceptable solutions. However, as the Professor says throughout, to have ignored the connection and not to act is a failure of political leadership.
Prisoners is an updated and revised version of the author's previous novel, 'The Cage', with statistics and images available in 2019.

Autorenporträt

Terry Morgan has been writing stories and poetry for over twenty five years, mostly while he "lived out of a suitcase", travelling with his own exporting business. With over seventy countries under his belt (some of them so many times he lost count) he now lives with his Thai wife, Yung, in Petchabun, Thailand with occasional visits back to friends and family in the Forest of Dean and the Cotswold valleys around Stroud, Gloucestershire, UK.
He writes novels with a strong international, business and political flavour, commentary on biology and environmental matters and, when he finds time, less serious humour and political satire.
