The Terminal Option (Storyteller's Collection)

In a future where selfishness trumps morality, abortion, and euthenasia become the norm.

In this dystopian science fiction novel, John Thomas Rogers casts a frightening vision of America in the next century. Wrestling with real, modern-day moral issues like abortion and fetal rights, population control, and gender roles, this gritty thriller paints a grim picture of a reality that is all too possible—unless something is done to change the status quo.

The year is 2106. Science has achieved its grandest goals: nuclear war is a fear of the past, the cruel diseases of the previous century are nearly forgotten, and world hunger is rapidly disappearing. But beneath the sleek façade of this modern utopia, the ruthlessly efficient abortion and senicide clinics kill off society’s “unwanted”—the unborn, children, and the aged.

In response to these horrors, a rebel, pro-life faction has risen up. These extremists fight for the protection of children and seniors, and for a society governed by a consistent life ethic. Number Seven, the mysterious leader of the Resistance, guides his followers in a desperate challenge of the Grand Council. The story’s heroine, the beautiful young Maria, has dedicated her life to fighting for these precious lives.

This glimpse into our nation’s future will both horrify you and rouse you to action against the real injustice, so present in America today. Join the fight!
