Professor John Newman

Searise - The Chaos Begins Professor John Newman

Imagine: a sudden and dramatic worldwide elevation of the sea level of 40 feet. Surviving and recovering from a localized natural disaster is drastic enough, but when the water rises in a matter of hours all over the world with little advance warning and stays up permanently, what happens to the flooded cities and seaports? What is the death toll? How many survivors are suddenly surrounded by high water and cut off from higher ground? Who rescues them and how? What happens to the inland cities and towns, when tens of millions of refugees start arriving and overwhelm the local resources? What happens to the highly developed economies that are heavily dependent on international trade when seaports become unusable? What happens when the oil from the Persian Gulf is suddenly no longer available? What happens when electrical power generating plants fail and the few remaining plants and interconnected power grids can't support demand? Will there be famine, civil unrest, anarchy, or war to grab what few resources are left? Searise - The Chaos Begins and its sequel, Searise - Exodus, are works of fiction that condense and admittedly exaggerate what will likely happen over the course of the next several decades into an immediate disaster for which the world is unprepared. You have never read anything like it! ABOUT THE AUTHOR: John Newman retired after working for the Navy in various capacities for forty years.
