We failed to check global warming. In this dry future water is the most valuable resource. It is power. And in the US, the Army Corps of Engineers has become the guardian and keeper of water. Life is metered by water - by it's lack and its location. And who controls it. Major Carter Voltaire, newly in charge of The Pipeline, the enormous water project that keeps much of the western US alive, finds himself standing between thirsty locals and the need to provide water to the many. He has seen devastating water riots and must find a way to prevent that from happening here, while protecting precious water. There are no good answers.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. The late Mary Rosenblum's 1993 first novel, "The Drylands", winner of the Compton Crook Award, is an eco classic about the impact of climate change on water supplies in the western US. She wrote 3 other novelettes revisiting the Drylands world, and then in 2007 published the print-on-demand "Water Rites" collecting all of her Drylands writing. This copy of the book has "First Fairwood Press Edition: February 2007" on its copyright page, and it is flat signed (no inscription) by Mary Rosenblum on its title page. The book is in fine condition, unread, as new. Binding is tight and square, with no reading crease in the spine. Covers are unfaded, unworn and unmarked. Pages are unworn and otherwise unmarked. As with all Space Age Book purchases, I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its proud new owner in the same condition as my description.
