"'And Baby Makes Five'' portrays a mother trying to decide which of her newborn twins to have killed."
[Publishers Weekly]
Imagine a world where the government controls the population growth and the environmental resources through an insane and cynical mechanism of compensation. Offenders are treated as criminals, used in community services or worse, depending on the severity of the transgressions.
A young mother is forced to choose which of her newborn twins to sacrifice the risk of pain is unimaginable.
DANIEL PEARLMAN
“Daniel Pearlman’s stories are perfectly-crafted gems ... wry and wise, funny and sad—impossibly, all at the same time.” [Jack Dann, Nebula and World Fantasy Award winner]
“A single story by Daniel Pearlman signals the world that here’s a rare and wonderful talent.” [Joe R. Lansdale]
And Baby Makes Five edition by Daniel Pearlman Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks
It's a marvelous thing when a story takes exactly as long as it needs, and not a sentence longer. In an overpopulated future, natural resources are shared evenly among the billions of people, by a very strict accounting. Having more than one child is strongly discouraged. Nina has just given birth to twins, and is expected to choose one, and surrender the other. She has one hour to decide, with the help of a morally-minded nurse and her husband, Bucky. But she's the one who has to make the horrible decision.Pearlman does a marvelous job of introducing the reader to just enough details of his future to make it comprehensible and real. It's certainly not hard to imagine our world becoming his. He reveals only enough to keep the tension tightly focused on Nina. It's a nail-biter all the way. I think Shirley Jackson would have loved it.

And Baby Makes Five edition by Daniel Pearlman Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
With the advent of her newborn twins, Nina faces an impossible choice. She must decide which one to terminate to stay within her Resource Depletion Allowance budget according the dictates of a sociopathic enviro-conscious government. In her decision, however, she finds the strength and logic to face her narcissistic, self-indulgent husband, Bucky, employed as an agent in the organization that works to control the world's population at sustainable levels. Nina's decision, in the end, reveals a secret that sets the balance straight with delicious irony and karmic justice. I honestly couldn't help but grin with delight as the unintended consequences of government regulation gone mad took their toll on one of its captains.
