About

The time is tomorrow. The problem is water: Its contaminated. Governments and think tanks strive to solve the water crisis, but too many unscrupulous politicians and crooks profit from this worldwide shortage of potable water to pursue viable solutions seriously a fact Rusty Sinclair learns at personal cost.
Using an alias, Rusty moves across America like an elusive underground stream hiding, surfacing, hiding. When he surfaces in Fort Trust, a town that’s seen better times, he decides to work for a few weeks then shove off for the open road again. His plan changes. He spars with a woman co-worker who reminds him all too much of the guilt-stained past he’s trying to elude, yet he must rely on her to help him dust off a retired scientists project that might be the key to solving the water crisis on the other hand the project might only be a senile lunatics fantasy.
Clete Shatz, owner of the company Rusty works at, and an acute judge of mortals weaknesses, draws Rusty into an embezzlement scheme to bilk American citizens of mega-millions of tax dollars in return for potable water.
At the ethical crossroads, each man must make decisions that will not only put himself at risk, but change the lives of the people he loves and the lives of everyone who thirsts for water. For both Rusty and Clete, the easy path is not the best path. Lives hang in the balance either way.
Using facts, statistics and predictions currently available from the U.S. Government and its agencies and from environmental groups, Fowlers The Universal Solvent takes readers on an entertaining ride that will change the way they think about humanity’s most precious resource.
