So when we were at the Hoover Dam I met Gary Hansen and his wife Becca. He is the author of this amazing book called "Wet Desert". I really enjoyed chatting with them. They have four kids, they live in Kaysville and this is his FIRST novel. I hope he is working on another one because I LOVED this book. I read it OUT LOUD the entire way home on the drive home from Las Vegas because I was into it that Tim wanted to hear some.
I highly encourage you to get this book! Go to his website for more information or you can directly to Amazon.
| WET DESERT Wet Desert is a crime fiction novel where Grant Stevens, a mid-level manager for the Bureau of Reclamation, helps the FBI track down an environmental terrorist attempting to restore the Colorado River by blowing up the dams.
Grant Stevens, a mid-level manager for the Bureau of Reclamation, only wanted to build dams. He never imagined he would be swept into a desperate race against an environmental terrorist bent on restoring the Colorado River by blowing up the dams. Left temporarily in charge of the Bureau, Grant must react when the first dam is attacked. He faces the unthinkable task of mitigating the massive flood roaring down the Colorado. The flood will eventually threaten the mighty Hoover Dam, and if Hoover fails, the other dams downstream will fall like dominos. Working with the FBI, Grant uses his engineering skills, river knowledge, and plenty of gut instinct in an attempt to outmaneuver the terrorist. The chase will lead all the way downstream to the Gulf of California in a cat and mouse game where the stakes are high and the potential for destruction is enormous. It was especially fun to read because I met him AT the Hoover Dam and the story takes place all along the Colorado River with some main parts at Hoover. Really cool. I had to remind myself afterwards that it was a story... |
