Imagine a world with cities of blackened air, countrysides with no trees, endless droughts, dust storms, raging forest fires. A world of astonishing scientific achievements but which is so overpopulated and ravaged by its excesses that it hangs on the brink of collapse. The horrifying proposals of Dr. Gupta Singh are gathering momentum. He has dared to voice the unthinkable - the voluntary suicide of one third of the world's population and nation after nation has joined the Depopulationist International. Only a handful of people led by American journalist John Sinclair can stop Singh and expose the dangers of his Manifesto before it becomes law and millions die - and they are being hunted, with their lives and all of humanity in the balance.
