A gripping near-future thriller from one of Britain's most acclaimed science fiction writers, Flood chronicles the terrifying slow-motion catastrophe of a world consumed by rising seas. When vast underground reservoirs beneath the ocean floor begin to rupture, sea levels rise at a pace that defies all scientific prediction, swallowing coastlines, cities, and entire nations. Baxter follows a cast of survivors — including former hostages and scientists — as they struggle to adapt, migrate, and ultimately reckon with the extinction of civilisation as we know it. Written with relentless scientific rigour and visceral human drama, the novel argues that humanity's greatest enemy may not be each other, but the planet itself reclaiming its surface. Epic in scope and chilling in its plausibility, Flood is a landmark work of ecological science fiction that resonates with urgent contemporary relevance.
