Water in a Time of Thirst (THRILLER)

By Van Carley

In a near-future world ravaged by a global water crisis, society has fractured into those who have access to the precious resource and those left to wither in the parched wastelands. For Mara Vaughn, a former hydrologist turned smuggler, survival means navigating dangerous territories to deliver stolen water to the desperate. But when one of her missions goes catastrophically wrong, she discovers a chilling conspiracy: the world's dwindling water supply isn't just the result of climate collapse-it's being controlled.

When Mara intercepts a mysterious shipment containing classified data, she uncovers evidence that a powerful corporation, Aquadyne, has been hoarding vast water reserves while deliberately engineering the drought to maintain control over governments and people. The files hint at a secret facility deep in the desert where the company is conducting experiments that could determine the future of humanity-or destroy it entirely.

With bounty hunters on her trail and an enigmatic stranger claiming to be an ally, Mara must decide whom to trust as she races to expose Aquadyne's plans. As she journeys into the heart of the desert, where thirst can drive anyone to madness, Mara finds herself battling not just the forces chasing her but also the ghosts of her past. In Water in a Time of Thirst, survival is only the beginning. The real fight is for the truth-and for the hope that the world can still be saved.
