Summary
Earth is on the verge of becoming a dead planet.
The polar ice caps melted long ago, and it's been decades since the last raindrop fell. Ocean levels rise a dozen meters, and forest fires rage on a global scale. Eleven billion people dying of thirst wage water wars against each other as extinction looms.
Humanity needs a new planet. As Earth deteriorates, the nation states desperately work together to build a mechanism for recolonization. And so the Magellan II is born, the first starship capable of interstellar travel.
The future of the human race is tasked to 10,000 colonists, now homeless but for the vastness of space and the decks of Magellan II. A distant planet offers hope of survival, but it's a strange, watery world inhabited by giant reptiles.
Humanity is starting over, but survival isn't guaranteed.

Apocalypse is the right word!
This is the first time I've come across Tobin Marks' work and was definitely impressed by it.
Although the story centres around the colonisation of another planet, the events leading up to the need for it were scarily believable. Earth of the not that far distant future has a population of eleven billion and resources, especially water, are scarce. This leads to the apocalypse of the title. Given that, in my lifetime, I've seen our population reach six, seven and then eight billion, I sincerely hope it doesn’t come to this.
Mr. Marks tells a good story here and Mr. Fife's performance is as good as always. In fact, it was his name attached to this audiobook that drew me to it in the first place.
