Thirty months. That's how long the Meridian Current has left before the moisture pipeline feeding three continents collapses for good.
In 2070, the world is already losing the race. Water militias control what's left of Dhaka's aquifer. A refugee column millions strong walks toward a coast that doesn't want them. In Vietnam, a fishing fleet that died years ahead of schedule stands as a warning nobody heeded in time.
Dr. Noor Farhani has no seat at the table. Exiled two years earlier for catching a lie her own institution didn't want caught, she watches the crisis unfold from the outside - until she finds the one thing eighteen months of credentialed engineering never considered: the technology meant to save the current doesn't need more power. It needs better timing.
Being right has never been enough. A government stalling for political cover. A corporation racing to patent her insight before she can give it away. An intelligence service that decides the fastest way to control the outcome is to control her. Noor has the answer. She doesn't have the standing, the funding, or the time to make anyone listen - and the clock in the North Atlantic isn't waiting for her to catch up.
The Waterless World is a geopolitical thriller about the cost of being early, the blindness of credentialed institutions, and the ancient knowledge modern engineering forgot to ask about - grounded in real climate science and the gap between knowing the answer and getting anyone to act on it.
