Garrett Putman Serviss 
Second Deluge [EPUB ebook] 

In Garrett P. Serviss’ 1911 novel "The Second Deluge, " due to a cosmic mischance, no fewer than 30, 000 feet of rain fall upon our fair planet in under one year…enough to effectively drown the entire world, past the tippy top of Mt. Everest itself! A wonderfully written novel that is fairly epic in scope, it is a sadly neglected apocalyptic work that is surely ripe for rediscovery in our modern-day era of climate change and rising coastal waters.
