I'm afraid 'Flood' really annoyed me. The US Govt response was twofold: 1) start a starship programme and 2) make a deep underwater base for govt officials. Not the obvious 'build lots of boats'.
And in a standard Baxter plot theme, the starship is then hijacked by lowlifes.
- atlantic 8y agoActually, government officials prioritizing their own survival sounds like an eminently realistic scenario.
- KineticLensman 8y agoYes, but they don't even try to help their guards' survival, so unsurprisingly things don't turn out well.
- WalterBright 8y agoDon't forget all the luxurious fallout shelters in the US built for government officials.
