Welcome to a future where water is more precious than oil or gold.
Hundreds of millions have died, and millions more will fall – victims of disease, hunger and dehydration. The rivers have dried, the polar caps have melted, and drinkable water is in the hands of the powerful few. This is the world of The Water Wars.
But Kai didn’t seem to care about any of this. He stood in the open road drinking water from a plastic cup, drinking water like it was nothing, then spilling the remaining drops in the hard, hot dirt. He said he knew a secret, something the government was keeping from us. But he wouldn’t tell, and he wouldn’t say anything more.
And then he was gone. Vanished in the middle of the night. Was he kidnapped? Did he flee? We had to find him, and the truth, before it’s too late.
