Description
The entire planet is forced to continually fight for higher ground as an unexplained, unrelenting rise in water covers the earth, destroying infrastructure and isolating communities. The resulting dystopian society forces alliances between unlikely groups, brought together by nothing more than desperation and geography.
As food and water dwindle and tensions rise, generous relief supplies are provided by an anonymous source. The sporadic deliveries, which seem too good to be true, eventually create suspicion among the survivors who speculate about the origin and motives of the mysterious donors who provide them.

Kathleen H, Reviewer
In this disturbing novella, oceans rise all over the earth, cities disappear under the mysterious black waters and people must fight to survive. There’s the problem. The story spotlights office workers in Tokyo, a young woman working as RideShare driver in Colorado and the crew and passengers of a cruise ship. As the days and weeks pass, people hoard supplies and violence breaks out as they fight ever provisions. A disembodied voice says that food will be provided and it is. The voice (God? Aliens?) Urges them to help one another. And then, as the waters finally recede, comes the command “Be better, Do better.”
The Rise: Dystopia is science fiction at its best. I only wish the book had been londer. 5 stars.
Thank you to NetGalley, Splash Marketing and David Towner for this ARC.
