The Water Theory - Joyce Bartlett

Saving the world is not an easy task, but it can be very entertaining. The Water Theory is an eco-thriller set in the near future-a time of extreme drought brought on by climate change. This fast moving story pits morality and cutting edge science against narcissism and greed as it unfolds in unexpected ways. The stage is climate crisis, but the story is at heart an action adventure colored with romance. It transports the reader to a good vs evil battle between a corporation that cares only about profit and the unlikely heroes determined to stop them from selling lifesaving technology to the highest bidder.

The main character is a determined but world-weary scientist who invents a technology that could save a planet reeling from the effects of extreme drought. His nemesis, the ruthless CEO of the corporation he works for, could care less about saving the world. Money is the thing that motivates him and violence is his style. Teaming up with his equally brilliant colleague, this reluctant hero puts his life on the line to ensure that his inventions are used for good.

The Water Theory is full of fast paced action and enough unexpected twists to keep the reader guessing. Characters include smart, quirky heroes and a CEO so evil that readers will love to hate him.
