A drowned world. A haunted island. A war-weary sergeant with one last mission.
Britain is lost beneath the waves, swallowed by a cataclysm that shattered civilization. Amid the ruins, Sergeant Emma Stokes leads a ragtag militia toward a fortress island rumoured to hold salvation... or something far worse.
As Stokes' unit battles through a flooded world and hostile survivors, they encounter ancient horrors rising from the deep-creatures whispered of in myth, worshipped in madness and a mysterious major who may just hold the key to salvation.
Before the Flood is a gripping fusion of Lovecraftian horror and post-apocalyptic warfare, perfect for fans of The Kraken Wakes, The Shadow over Innsmouth, and The Road. Enter a world where the old gods stir beneath the waves-and humanity's last hope may be its final curse
