Description
It's raining again. These days it rains more often than not. Mild months when it should be cold, rain, rain instead of snow. There's little doubt our climate's changing, and not for the better. 40° in a British summer, too hot for people and animals, followed by long weeks of incessant rain.
And what if the rain doesn't stop? Imagine month after month of it? Rivers filling up and overflowing, simply unable to cope with the volume of water descending on saturated land. Low-lying areas under water, towns and cities flooded so deep living there is no longer possible. And where do all these people go? They flee to the hills, to high ground.
This story of what could well happen is set a few years in the future as panic grips the population. With the country effectively under martial law the rural idyll of architect Adam Woolton's hilltop home is overwhelmed by unwanted guests seeking refuge from the water.
His chance rescue of a young child left alone in a drowning village and his crazy joke about building an ark bring him to the attention of the army, landing him in unexpected and deadly danger, as he finds himself drawn into a mystery involving the child and her absent mother.
Topical and terrifying -- a dramatic tale of what climate change will inevitably do to the world as we know it.
