Or The Nine Days’ Wonder by Brendan Murray

This is a dark tale that reflects the greed, hypocrisy, ambition and exploitation of many centuries, encapsulated in the life of a small child and his innocent parents.

Every parent thinks their child is the best thing since sliced bread.  But Janet and John have created someone very special indeed - a wunderkind who can talk, quote Sophocles, understand quantum physics and discuss comparative philosophy!

On the third day of his life Big Baby is at the best school in London and appearing at the Royal Society.  By day five, he’s mixing with the cream of London society, and all is not as it may appear.

Janet & John’s son is undoubtedly a seriously gifted child and probably the most successful pupil in the world.  However, with great ambition comes great risk and for Big Baby and his parents, their journey in this dark and twisted world has a price that may, or may not, be worth paying.
