Mary Rosenblum – The Drylands
Posted by Dirk under: books .
Set a short time in the future. Most of the world is dry. The Great Lakes are a dustbowl. Water is piped down from the Arctic.
This book is about a struggle for control of the water in the Pacific Northwest. It’s a low key book. Fairly realistic. No super heroic heroes that overcome all obstacles.
There are a few mutants who have some strange powers, but they aren’t super powerful in any way.
It’s a good little book and it concerns itself with an issue that few other books seem to be covering.
