Flood
Baxter Stephen
It begins in 2016.
Another wet summer, another year of storm surges and high tides. But
this time the Thames Barrier is breached and central London is swamped.
The waters recede, life goes on, the economy begins to recover, people
watch the news reports of other floods around the world. And then the
waters rise again. And again.
Lily, Helen, Gary and Piers,
hostages released from five years captivity at the hands of Christian
Extremists in Spain, return to England and the first rumours of a flood
of positively Biblical proportions…
Sea levels have begun to
rise, at catastrophic speed. Within two years London and New York will
be under water. The Pope will give his last address from the Vatican
before Rome is swallowed by the rising water. Mecca too will vanish
beneath the waves.
The world is drowning. A desperate race to
find out what is happening begins. The popular theory is that we are
paying the price for our profligacy and that climate change is about to
redress Gaia’s balance. But there are dissenting views. And all the time
the waters continue to rise and mankind begins the great retreat to
higher ground. Millions will die, billions will become migrants. Wars
will be fought over mountains.
