The deluge / Stephen Markley.

Markley, Stephen, (author.).

Summary:
In the first decades of the twenty-first century, the world is convulsing, its governments mired in gridlock while a patient but unrelenting ecological crisis looms. America is in upheaval, battered by violent weather and extreme politics. In 2012, Tony Pietrus, a California-based scientist studying deposits of undersea methane, receives a death threat. His fate will become bound to a stunning cast of characters - a broken drug addict, a star advertising strategist, a nuerodivergent mathematician, a cunning eco-terrorist, an actor turned religious zealot, and a brazen young activist named Kate Morris, who, in the mountains of Wyoming, begins a project that will alter the course of the decades to come. From the Gulf Coast to Los Angeles, the Midwest to Washington, D.C., their intertwined odysseys unfold against a stark backdrop of accelerating chaos as they summon courage, galvanize a nation, fall to their own fear, and find wild hope in the face of staggering odds. As their stories hurtle towards a spectacular climax, each faces a reckoning: what will they sacrifice to salvage humanity's last chance at a future?
