Oh, to think that all that beauty, all those great palaces filled with the master-works of art, all those proud architectural piles, all that scene of the most joyous life that the earth contained, is now become the dwelling-place of the terrible fauna of the deep, creatures that never saw the sun; that never felt the transforming force of the evolution which had made the face of the globe so glorious; that never quitted their abysmal homes until this awful flood spread their empire over the whole earth!

Not that good...,
This review is from: The second deluge
I've read most of Serviss' work and this in my opinion is his worst. It has a lot of amazing imagery and fascinating ideas, but in the end it feels rushed and overly clumsy with Serviss grasping desperately to try and make everything tie together in the end.

"Retells the Noah story, but with a flood from outer space" In The Second Deluge, filed with scenes of panic and disaster, the entire surface of the earth is submerged when the solar system enters a watery nebula, and only scientist-hero Cosmo Versal, and a small group of friends who believe in him survive by flying above the flood in a newly invented skyship.
