Greybeard

Extract: Brian Aldiss is another Grand Master of Science Fiction. He has a huge body of work, and deciding which one to read was quite a challenge. I picked "Greybeard" because it has been republished in the MasterWorks of Science Fiction series. It sounded like it was the inspiration for P. D. James' "Children of Men", and I do love a good post-apocalyptic yarn. But after reading it, I was pretty sure I picked the wrong Aldiss book to read first...
