BOOK DESCRIPTION
When the Flood hit, America’s East Coast was evacuated by every means possible. Now, a luxury cruise ship overloaded with refugees lies dead in the water: no power, no communications, no sign of rescue, and nowhere near enough food.

For those that escaped the Flood, the real nightmare is just beginning.

For three years, Travis Cooke has been desperate to reunite his family. But not like this.

Fleeing New York ahead of the disaster, Travis, along with his son, ex-wife, and her husband, are trapped on the disabled ship. Travis and the unforgettable cast aboard find themselves alone in a big ocean. As the panic rises like the water, Travis finds behind each door an unexpected new side to the ship, but no way out. How far will a good man go to save the people he loves and has lost once before? How far would YOU go?

A retelling of Lord of the Flies as a fast-paced modern fable that forces you into the minds and disturbing choices of the characters on board.
A gripping thriller and mythic tragedy.

You’ll remember where you were when the Flood hit.

Welcome aboard.
BONUS SHORT STORY INCLUDED IN EBOOK: Locked in the Trunk of a Car, a sharp suspense thriller in a small package.

REVIEWS
"The Flood is an epic thriller and a remarkable work of art--you'll read it fast, but think (and dream) about it for a long time." 
-Matthew Mather, bestselling author of CyberStorm
 
 An incredible book. You read it, thinking at first that it's simply a thriller. And the action and suspense do indeed keep you turning pages. Up until the wee hours of the morning. But then you get to the end and you realize that you have read a great poem. Wow.”

The Flood is thrilling, fast-paced and full of energy. The plot twists are devilish and unpredictable. This is a real page turner you won't want to put down. The best part is Mr. Sachs really puts you in his imagined world and really makes you wonder how you would act in the same situation. Fantastic characters, both likeable and despisable, are expertly developed. A really fun ride from start to finish!
