Produktbeschreibung
Over 90% of New York City's water is supplied by 19 reservoirs in the Catskill Mountains . The city uses over 1.4 billion gallons each day, and the reservoirs are completely unguarded and vulnerable. When terrorists threaten to attack the water using various methods of toxin or blowing up key components of the system, brothers Parker and Tyler Rose form a citizens patrol called the WaterForce Angels to protect and safeguard the system. Their father is a DEP patrolman who is conflicted between helping his sons and fighting vigilantism. Local and national politics confuse the situation. Various methods of attack are unsuccessful. The boys learn that the terrorists are part of a new international jihadist organization. The volunteers have very little support from the Department of Environmental Protection until the action shifts from the mountain reservoirs to the final battle in the labyrinth of tunnels and aqueducts below Manhattan.

Jack Bell Stewart received an MFA in Theatrical Design from Indiana University, and designed sets and lighting for several hundred productions in New York and regional theater. He eventually migrated to exhibit design, designing trade shows, sales conventions, showrooms, Olympics, and special events throughout the world. He started his company in the 90s, shepherded his own design team, won awards in design and marketing, and wrote hundreds of creative design proposals. Eventually he turned his focus to writing fiction. WaterForce is his fourth novel, and focuses on real conditions and vulnerabilities of the reservoirs in the Catskills serving the New York City water supply. NYC uses 1.4 billion gallons of water very day. But what if that source was threatened?
