Description
The story draws from the book of Revelations. In this story, the narrator is selected by the Celestial Spirit to witness the days of the Last Man (Omegarus) and Last Woman (Syderia), since there will be no descendants to learn of their tale. We learn that Omegarus is the only child born in an infertile Europe, and thus he created quite a sensation when he was born. He was said to be the father of a new race, but when the infertility continues there are fewer and fewer people. He meets Syderia when he travels to Brazil to find the only fertile woman in an attempt to be a new Adam and Eve for the world. --Dave 42 at Amazon.com.
