After the Water War, a man rose from the flames, hell-bent on revenging North California by destroying South California. . .
Davy Bay , a bloodthirsty thief of water, is on a mission to refill an empty lake at the command of his dead father's ghost. He must bring his father back to life, as the guilt of his suicide eats him alive. To resurrect him, he desperately kills and steals water all across South California , a fiery hellscape where water is worth more than gold, as his father's ghost directs him.
Meanwhile, Governor Vendicatore , an agent of North California , is set to unravel his water confiscation scheme, Tidewater , which intends to take all water from the wealthy and redistribute it to his dying people.
Davy, a skilled thief, thinks his identity is safe and his water is secured. But little does he know, the corrupt Vendicatore has allowed him to steal and rampage. He has allowed Davy to massacre South California and suck the country dry.
Davy has done most of the work for him. Now Vendicatore simply has to set the trap -- Tidewater -- to capture the thief and take the water off his hands.
The vengeful governor wants it all for himself and his home country. He wants South California to burn forever.
Will he succeed? Or will Davy, his puppet, wake up before it's too late?
THE WATER THIEF is an electrifying tale of deception, greed, guilt, and tragedy with shocking twists that will leave you thirsty for more.
I felt the plot had potential just based on its description...then I tried reading it. Nah. Kind of reads like a homeless person on a metro platform: bizarre, nonsensical, and wandering. SMBSLT
