Publisher's summary

To come together, one family will have to survive a world coming apart.

A mother and scientist trapped in an earthquake-ravaged Antarctica. A daughter fleeing rising waters in Florida. A father and son escaping tidal waves in Boston. When an earthquake sends the Thwaites glacier crashing into the ocean, the world begins a sudden, violent transformation. Kathryn, a seismologist wintering in Antarctica's McMurdo base, must survive the crumbling continent after discovering unprecedented seismic activity. Meanwhile, her family struggles to escape raging tsunamis and violently rising global seas halfway across the world.

Can Kathryn and her family find their way back together when the earth itself revolts beneath their feet and the oceans between them expand?

Everything comes to an end

A perfect reminder that the cozy lives we live are just one disaster away from this book becoming a reality. Although I was a little skeptical of the narrator at first, she quickly grew on me and found her very well suited to portray the characters. The book itself was fleshed out to the point where the characters seemed extremely real. The author does an excellent job building a scene portraying everyday life that quickly and devastatingly changes due to forces that are amplified by human negligence. Looking forward to reading more by this author! I’m now on my way to befriend some scientists who’ll let me know when it’s time to look for high ground

The Next Great Flood

This global warming apocalypse story is both a compelling story and an informative backgrounder on worst case scenarios for the consequences of rising temperatures and the melting of the ice caps. Told from the points of view of three members of the same family - a father in Boston a college age daughter in Miami for spring break and a scientist mother attached to a team working on Antarctica - it takes the reader from ordinary day to day activities through the fear and panic as a series of unrelated weather events leads them to flee for their lives to higher ground.
Well researched and written, it's a nail-biter of a story that will send you looking for the nearest topographical map to see just how far above sea level your home town is.
Some readers may find the jumping from one character and location to another a bit jarring, but I enjoyed the different viewpoints.

Entertaining!

I went into this one a little blind, not having read/listened to any of the author's other books or the narrator before.
I will be checking out the other books by this author as I liked the dynamics of the characters and the type of action and detail that there was in the theory of the plot.

Some of the fast facts chapters might be boring for some readers/listeners, but I am very curious by nature and there was a lot of interesting information throughout the book. I had never heard of the Doomsday Glacier and will be obsessively googling it for some time.

The narration was nice, I liked that she could do various accents... however the different accents (ie. Latin-speakers and British) were not really that authentic. Not that it took away that much from the story but I have heard better accents done. All in all, the narrator has a pleasant voice, decent intonation based on emotions, action and gender and I wouldn't mind listening to more books narrated by her.

Couldn’t finish

Not sure why this was rated so high, but must be those who like this author. To much detail, not likable characters, to many chapters till actual event and the narrator wasn’t my cup of tea. Waste of credit for anyone who like SHTF books.

Awful don’t do it

Painful to get through, don’t waste your time. Both writing and the narrator are bordering on unbearable
