Scout Matheson Versus The-Commander-of-the-World

The world as everyone knew it ended four years ago. Scout Matheson was eleven years old when the meteor hit sending a life-ending tsunami hurtling mercilessly around the globe. Four years on those that survived still struggle to exist in the buildings that stretch precariously up from the grimy waters or on the Floating Towns that endlessly search the seas for sustenance. Living with her grandfather Scout scratches out a living as a Fetcher-and-Taker; a sort of post-apocalyptic post girl maintaining lines of communication between the beleaguered inhabitants. One man makes life even more unbearable though- The Commander. General of an American aircraft carrier that miraculously survived the carnage intact he rules the waves destroying or taking for himself anything and anyone he desires. When Scout becomes his prisoner and discovers her scientist father is still alive so begins a fantastic and mesmerising adventure of cloud-living communities underwater bases and parallel universes.
