Okay, I admit the cover struck me as silly..as did the title, but this really was a very good story of humankind's survival in an end-of-the-world book. Told from the viewpoints of an old man of a rural area and a young man of an urban city, it told the horrors of survival as non-stop rain ravaged earth and huge tidal waves swamped the coastal areas of the globe wiping out populations and land masses until only those in the inland high-rises and mountaintops were left to scavage and fight each other to survive...until the giant worms and huge squid-like creatures came after them. What caused the disasterous rain...God breaking his promise to Man after Noah, or global warming? I really couldn't put this book down, and I do not read either sci-fi or horror.
