The Deluge by Stephen Markley Book Summary

A New York Times Notable Book
“This book is, simply put, a modern classic. If you read it, you'll never forget it. Prophetic, terrifying, uplifting.” —Stephen King

From the bestselling author of Ohio, a masterful American epic charting a near future approaching collapse and a nascent but strengthening solidarity.

In the first decades of the 21st century, the world is convulsing, its governments mired in gridlock while a patient but unrelenting ecological crisis looms. America is in upheaval, battered by violent weather and extreme politics. In California in 2013, Tony Pietrus, a scientist studying deposits of undersea methane, receives a death threat. His fate will become bound to a stunning cast of characters—a broken drug addict, a star advertising strategist, a neurodivergent mathematician, a cunning eco-terrorist, an actor turned religious zealot, and a brazen young activist named Kate Morris, who, in the mountains of Wyoming, begins a project that will alter the course of the decades to come.

From the Gulf Coast to Los Angeles, the Midwest to Washington, DC, their intertwined odysseys unfold against a stark backdrop of accelerating chaos as they summon courage, galvanize a nation, fall to their own fear, and find wild hope in the face of staggering odds. As their stories hurtle toward a spectacular climax, each faces a reckoning: what will they sacrifice to salvage humanity’s last chance at a future? A singular achievement, The Deluge is a once-in-a-generation novel that meets the moment as few works of art ever have.

Deluge. VERY slow and disjointed beginning. I barely made it through the first 80 pages.

Title is perfect. Best book I have read in decades scary and bold

We are the deluge. To call this a tour de force is an understatement. It is the great American novel for the 21st century. I haven’t encountered this kind of talent since Tony Kushner and Angels in America. The author is so good there are times when it feels like he’s just showing off (second person? really?) But a word of warning: this book takes its time. It doesn’t really start to cook until about the halfway mark. It’s kind of like Ulysses that way. And yes, it’s that brilliant.

You MUST read this book!. This compelling and beautifully written novel that takes place during the recent past and not-so distant future tells the sobering tale of the climate crisis, global indifference and radicalization of the left and the right. The characters are well developed and the story moves along while at times so incredible, I found myself hold my breath while reading. Moving and profound and in my opinion spot-on.

The Deluge. Wow. Apocalypse now. Harrowing and all too plausible.

Worth the investment of 880ish pages. Not perfect by any means but wow this is quite an achievement and an important book. Markley creates get characters, builds a believable future and provides grave warning, all while entrusting hope that even in the face of great cataclysm gives us something to latch onto.
