Adam's Ark Frances Brand

A decade after the covid virus a new and more devastating disaster strikes the world




As climate change tightens its grip weather patterns become more erratic, from extreme heat to long periods of monsoon-like rainfall. Large parts of the earth are inundated and in a flood of apocalyptic proportions anywhere on high ground becomes a refuge from the rising water. Survivors are brought face to face with reality as the world they know has gone, maybe for ever.




With the country effectively under martial law architect Adam Woolton's precious home is besieged by desperate people dumped on hilltops by the rescue forces.




His chance rescue of a young child left alone in a drowned village and his crazy joke about building an ark bring him to the attention of the military, soon out of his depth in a mystery involving the child and her mother.




Meanwhile the water is still rising.
