Review: Stephen Markley’s new novel is part thriller, part horror, part all-too-real. It’s scary, instructive and also entertaining.
.” And like those books, Markley’s assembles a set of archetypal, borderline-cliche characters and redeems them with some clever plotting.
The whole thing largely works. Markley is so gifted at imagining catastrophe that “The Deluge” generates the same kind of guilt you might feel watching a disaster movie, calmly witnessing hurricanes and famines destroy others’ lives. That gift grows more wearisome in the book’s final sections, as Markley balances ever-more-intense portraits of devastation with ever more pages of Ashir’s policy wonkery and scenes of boardroom debates.
