Very clever. A spring tide is heading down from the North Sea to the English Channel. The Met Office
for British weather tries to predict where the storm surge is heading. The PM is away, so Deputy tries to figure out what to do. Finally it strikes London. Can the Thames Barrier hold it of in time?
In 1953 at night time a storm surge struck England and killed hundreds of people. This is a "what if"
story about a flood hitting London and how we will cope with it.

I'm a fiction writer trying to break away from typecasting. For a while I was focusing on disasters, books like Flood and Volcano - London threatened by a storm surge, an eruption-caused tsunami devastating the coast of Maine.
I could have gone on with the theme - publishers always want more of the same and Flood had made it into a movie - bit I couldn't face it. So I'm back to straight thrillers...more
