Description
A New York Times Notable Book, The Deluge is a masterful American epic that charts a near future approaching collapse and a nascent but strengthening solidarity. As the world convulses, its governments mired in gridlock while an ecological crisis looms, America is in upheaval, battered by violent weather and extreme politics. A scientist studying undersea methane, Tony Pietrus, receives a death threat, setting him on a path that intertwines with a cast of characters, each facing their own reckoning. As their stories unfold, they summon courage, galvanize a nation, and face the fear that threatens their future. Against a stark backdrop of accelerating chaos, they must decide what they will sacrifice to salvage humanity's last chance at a future. A singular achievement, The Deluge is a once-in-a-generation novel that meets the moment as few works of art ever have.
