Be fruitful, advocates Judeo-Christian Scripture, and multiply, and replenish the earth. Historical demographics reveal how diligently we've complied with this "Eleventh Commandment." Eight millennia before the Savior's birth, global population is inferred to have been roughly five millions. When Julius Caesar fell to the daggers of envious men, the estimate jumps to approximately two hundred and fifty millions, then escalates in the mid-seventeenth century to half a billion. By 1850 it reached one billion, and circa 1930, less than a century later, some two billion humans lived out their lives in the world's continents and islands. At the turn of the third millennium, six billion crowded the globe, and the fragile planetary environment began to show definite signs of a marginal ability to sustain them. Despite wars, famines, plagues and other natural disasters, the relentless numbers keep marching upward at an alarming, exponential rate of three or four births each second, eleven or twelve thousand per hour, and will double again in a relatively short span of years. But what lies beyond the crucial nexus when our planet can no longer tolerate the succeeding multitudes? Learn the draconian population control tactic illustrated in Triage, and pray that this fictional account never turns into reality. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

[Reviewed pdf version from the author]
William Walling, in his book TRIAGE, speaks of the past and present
warnings of overpopulation and in the near future gives us a solution
none of us would like to think about.
When does fiction become reality and when does science become fact?
Jules Verne told the future with Science Fiction books. From Michael
Crichton we learned of germ warfare beyond our imagination, sadly it is
happening now. William Walling, in his book TRIAGE, speaks of the past
and present warnings of overpopulation and in the near future gives us
a solution none of us would like to think about. TRIAGE is usually
preformed in emergency disaster and war situations, but if you put that
on a global level, it means something entirely different.
We are not talking about war, we are not talking about disaster; we are
talking about the overpopulated survival of the human race, albeit in an
inhumane manner. Justification is not an issue, the lack of natural
resources to sustain the population growth we are experiencing today,
is the problem.
Walling brings you into the story at the upper levels of a United Nations
committee. As we learn of the deals and deeds we see the truth from
both sides, and one horrific take from others that want the power. You
may forget the characters names, if you do not dream about them, but
you will not forget their actions, wisdom and mistakes. Walling’s
“Triage” among his other books should be a must read.
