21st Century Challenges

Richard Doyle’s book “Flood”, which he says he spent two and a half years researching, claiming to be a climate expert, is a rehash of a book penned by him in 1976 called “Deluge”. Who was his agent/publisher in 1976, and from whom did he get the idea for “Deluge”?

I’ve read them both and they’re very different, but it’s clearly an idea he’s always been very interested in. Deluge was very much your classic thriller, whereas the level of research that must of gone into Flood to get the level of detail that you find in Flood sets it in a separate category.
Clearly it’s still a work of fiction, but it great for spreading awareness and getting people interested in the science behind the threat. I set it as a the set text for my university students (disaster planning) as i know they’ll actually read it!
