There are accidents along the highway, but ambulances and police are conspicuously absent. When he decides to abandon his car and run home, he sees that the trees along the edge of a stream have been burnt, and the water in the streambed is gone. Something has gone very wrong. When he arrives home, the power is out and there is no running water. The pipes everywhere, it seems, have gone dry. Eddie and his wife, Laura, find themselves thrust together with their neighbors as a sense of unease thickens in the stifling night air. Thirst takes place in the immediate aftermath of a mysterious disaster as the Chapmans and their neighbors suffer the effects of the heat, their thirst, and the terrifying realization that no one is coming to help. As violence rips through the community, Eddie and Laura are forced to recall secrets from their past and question their present humanity. In crisp and convincing prose, Ben Warner compels readers to do the same. What might you do to survive?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Droughts $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Survival $v Fiction. 941 $a 9 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010015959.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804022907.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728022230.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722052456.0 952 $l BWPD851 $d 20210714015108.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180117031549.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20160506011711.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20160504042607.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20160426010441.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5615206C0B7411E6A7CC6C76DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
