In Stephen Baxter's Flood, sudden seismic upheaval releases immense reservoirs of water trapped deep beneath Earth's crust, and sea levels begin climbing far faster than anyone can adapt to, forcing a handful of survivors to watch coastlines and then continents disappear. The 2009 sequel, Ark, follows a parallel thread of people who instead gamble everything on a desperate escape from the drowning planet. Together the two books trace roughly a half-century of civilizational collapse and reinvention as dry land runs out.
