Publisher's Synopsis
#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER From the bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments-the second book of the internationally celebrated MaddAddam trilogy, set in the visionary world of Oryx and Crake, is at once a moving tale of lasting friendship and a landmark work of speculative fiction
The waterless flood long predicted by Adam One, the kindly leader of God's Gardeners-a religion devoted to the melding of science and religion-has occurred, altering Earth as we know it and obliterating most human life. Among the survivors are Ren, a young trapeze dancer locked inside the high-end sex club Scales and Tails; and Toby, a member of God's Gardeners, who is barricaded inside a luxurious spa. But they cannot stay locked away for ever. Amid shadowy, corrupt ruling powers and new, gene-spliced life forms, Ren and Toby will have to decide on their next move.
