Critics Review
‘Covering events from the UK to the US, from Australia to Tibet, this is a comprehensive disaster novel that has a very global feel. Perhaps mostly this book is an homage to human survivability - we endure should be our motto. [It] deserves to sit high on the blockbuster shelves.’ - SF World on FLOOD.
‘For once a modern SF book where the central science doesn’t need the reader to have memorised advanced quantum theory beforehand. Flood is a superbly enjoyable SF novel, although those living close to the sea may feel a bit nervous after reading it. And before anyone asks, yes, it’s better than Waterworld.’ - The Wertzone on FLOOD.‘Bold, compassionate, exhilarating, wrenching stuff.’ - Internet Review of SF.About The Author
