Flood

by Nicole Stuart

When the terrorists set off the rockslide on La Palma Island in the Canary Islands, they created a tsunami of gigantic proportions. The wave races across the Atlantic, giving the authorities in the United States six hours to evacuate everyone within a hundred miles of the coast. The other countries on the Atlantic coast suffer the same devastation, but now an additional factor came into play – the smashing of five hundred trillion tons of rock into the fragile floor of the Atlantic at a thousand kilometers per hour sent a shockwave through the molten magma that sets off volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis around the world. The terrorist plot has consequences far beyond those envisaged by its planners!
The remnants of the United States Military takes revenge, but the eradication of all those who supported terrorism is just the first step in the survival of the civilized nations of the northern hemisphere. Those few who survive must integrate into other societies that are themselves disintegrating under the stresses of the world economic meltdown.
In this enthralling tale of a world catastrophe, Nicole Stuart describes the large events that flow from a comparatively small beginning, and how some people grasp the opportunity to rebuild the lives of their people.
