Description
Flood by Stephen Baxter tells the story of a world drowning and the struggle to survive. Sea levels rise at an alarming rate, with metres of water added every year, and the consequences are catastrophic. As London, New York, and other major cities disappear beneath the waves, scientists are left to wonder where all the extra water is coming from. The biblical flood has returned, but this time it's not just a local event - it's a global disaster that threatens the very existence of humanity. The world is on the run, with populations decimated and nuclear submarines patrolling the skies in search of survivors. As the years tick by, there will be nowhere left to hide. A small group of people are caught up in this desperate struggle for survival, and their stories are woven into a tale of unimaginable global disaster. With no hope of escape, they turn to a second great ark as their only chance of salvation.
