Description
In a water-starved world, two international agents try to track down the corrupt forces that threaten to spark a global war...
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.
When a satellite disappears over Iceland, Sim Atkins joins the Overseas Division to hunt for the terrorists responsible-a quest that will take him and his partner, Freda, to a billionaires' tax haven in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and into a web of deceit...
This is the first in the series of action-packed, intrigue-filled thrillers, also known as The Gaia Trilogy, that take us into a near-future world desperate for life-giving water.

Person
David Barker is the author of three Climate Fiction thrillers - the Gaia trilogy - and gives talks on water shortages and climate change. Prior to writing full time, David worked in the city as an economist where his fascination with commodity shortages began. He attended the Faber Academy in 2014 and, more recently, completed a scriptwriting course with the National Writing Centre. When not writing thrillers or scripts, David likes to create stories for younger readers and joined the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators in 2018. David participates in Radio Berkshire's monthly book show, plays tennis & golf and does amateur dramatics (when theatres are allowed to be open). He lives in Berkshire with his wife and daughter, who are both much better at acting than him. You can find out more about David and his writing at: https://davidbarkerauthor.co.uk
