England is dying. Following the collapse of aged, childless Europe, eighteen-year-old Englishman Brandon Frewer seeks young people. In Northallerton, he finds youngish Englishwoman Laura Trimm. With much of England having become dangerous, they're confined to the towns, villages, and castles Laura knows in North Yorkshire. England's future depends upon people like her and Brandon bearing children, but not necessarily with each other. 'A Young Man's Tale' is the sequel to 'Swansong of a Childless People'.
