I used to love Baxter's writing back in the Xeelee Sequence & Manifold Trilogy days. Then there was all that "alternative history" stuff and I lost interest. BUT... along comes Flood and I'm hooked again! Here Baxter writes like some of the Greats (Wells, Wyndham) and, while it is definitely "hard" s/f, it is also "social" in that you get a good look at what people most likely would do (are doing now, as a matter of fact) in the face of extreme climate change. The book has been haunting me since I finished it with visions of a future that hasn't, yet, happened.
