Babylon Babies is the third novel by French-born Canadian writer Maurice G. Dantec, published in 1999.
Set in 2014, the main character, Hugo Cornelius Toorop (hero of The Red Siren), is a mercenary whose mission is to escort a young woman with schizophrenia, Marie Zorn, from Siberia to Quebec on behalf of a sect.
It appears that the young woman is the surrogate mother of twins, representing the next stage of human evolution.

[4] Vin Diesel was cast to play the lead, alongside Mark Strong, Michelle Yeoh, and Charlotte Rampling.
