  Five years have passed since a mysterious millennial downpour sent Homo Britannicus hurtling towards extinction. As a century's logic, religion, magic and science begin to connect, two men, three women and Queen Victoria's entire bestiary find themselves catapulted into a hilarious tale of rampant Darwinism, vegetarian conversion, true love and extinction. 'Superb a complex, intelligent novel which draws upon a vast array of ideas without ever losing coherence wonderfully funny fiction.' - Daily Telegraph . 'As much a comedic riff on the assumptions of social progress as it is on the eccentricities of natural selection think of Ark Baby as Monty Python's Origin of Species ' - New York Times Book Review .

  Since the year all British women became infertile, Bobby Sullivan's London veterinary clinic has been packed with primate 'children' and, speaking as an alpha male, he's sick to death of them. Hoping to reincarnate himself, he moves north, but finds there is no escape from the Darwinian imperative - or from the sexual pull of the luscious twins Rose and Blanche. As the legacy of the girls' ancestor, Victorian freak Tobias Phelps, begins to connect with a century of history, religion, and evolutionary theory, new hope looms for the nation's future.
