Although humans are most likely to end their own existence, there’s still a chance Mother Nature may get there first. Here are five must read novels where nature attacks London.
The Last Day – Andrew Hunter Murray
What happens if the world stops turning? In this prize winning novel the UK is permanently on the sunny side of the planet, but that doesn’t mean everything is rosy – far from it, in fact!
Flood – Richard Doyle
London’s Thames Barrier was built to stop it being flooded. Some people think it’s to protect the city from rain water breaking over the banks, until it is pointed out the barrier is downstream from London. Doyle’s terrifying story starts a high tide, but where will it stop?
The Children of Men – P.D. James
Infertility rates are always in the news, which makes this critically acclaimed dystopian thriller even more grim.
The Drowned World – JG Ballard
London has been turned into a submarine city by the melting of the icecaps, but, even underwater, those streets may be paved with gold! For more details, read the RavensWatch review by clicking here.
The Day of the Triffids – John Wyndham
You may argue that the triffids are created by humans, but the event that gives them a leg (root?) up is a cosmic phenomenon. This classic tale looks at how survivors might come together and recreate society. For more details, read the RavensWatch review by clicking here.
