After nine months of the explosion no more children are born, until a doctor delivers a perfectly healthy baby girl more than 10 months after the explosion in Mississippi.
It's soon discovered that the child's father, who has the surname Adam was miles under the surface of Earth inside a steel mine the day of the explosion. It would appear that this Mr. Adam is the only hope that humanity has for propagation of the species.
