Climate change and geopolitical tension have given rise to a new international threat: a world war over water. This vital resource has become a precious commodity, and some will stop at nothing to control its flow.

Blue Gold: A Gripping Thriller Full of Twists

As the international community battles to solve a disastrous water shortage, one agent finds danger hitting close to home in this follow-up to Blue Gold.

In the aftermath of a world war over water, geopolitical tensions remain high, and terrorism is a daily fact of life. But a mining base on the moon offers a rare example of international co-operation and a possible solution to the world’s energy problems. Yet not everyone on Earth is keen for this endeavour to succeed.

Sim Atkins and his wife are desperate to start a family. But a shocking message tells Sim that he’s already a father—and that his son’s life is in danger. Now Sim has to deal with the upheaval in his own life—while also dealing with a hunt for terrorists and a terrifying discovery in a cargo hold . . .

From the author of Blue Gold, this is the thrilling second adventure set in a near future where water is running dry—and the world grows ever more desperate.
