Adam One, the kindly leader of the God's Gardeners-a religion devoted to the melding of science and religion, as well as the preservation of all plant and animal life-has long predicted a natural disaster that will alter Earth as we know it. Now it has occurred, obliterating most human life. Two women have survived: Ren, a young trapeze dancer locked inside the high-end sex club Scales and Tails, and Toby, a God's Gardener barricaded inside a luxurious spa where many of the treatments are edible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHave others survived? Ren's bioartist friend Amanda? Zeb, her eco-fighter stepfather? Her onetime lover, Jimmy? Or the murderous Painballers, survivors of the mutual-elimination Painball prison? Not to mention the shadowy, corrupt policing force of the ruling powers . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeanwhile, gene-spliced life forms are proliferating: the lion\/lamb blends, the Mo'hair sheep with human hair, the pigs with human brain tissue. As Adam One and his intrepid hemp-clad band make their way through this strange new world, Ren and Toby will have to decide on their next move. They can't stay locked away . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy turns dark, tender, violent, thoughtful, and uneasily hilarious, \u003ci\u003eThe Year of the Flood\u003c\/i\u003e is Atwood at her most brilliant and inventive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the Hardcover edition.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47156310671600,"sku":"2940169410549","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169410549_p0.jpg?v=1763681656","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169410549","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
