The seas are rising. At first global warming is blamed, but as London, then New York, then entire countries disappear beneath the waves, it is clear that something much worse is happening.

Review of 'Flood (Flood, #1)' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I actually stopped reading about 120 pages in, which is rare for me. This book is basically an interesting thought experiment loosely framed as a novel. The characters could not be more forgettable and less developed. I got the idea Mr. Baxter knows the science backwards and forwards, but as a story, this was just painful, basically just meteorological conjecture punctuated with British place names and cardboard characters. Life's too short.
