"As the world faces a water shortage like no other in history, will Grayson Fields' science skills and determination make it possible for her to bring rain to a parched world? Readers quickly become involved in a realistic scenario that traverses the planet from D.C. to India and the Himalayas with greedy billionaires, security secrets, and dangers that affect the world's water supply. Thompson brings to life this plausible world in such a way that readers will not only be engrossed in the outcome of an elaborate setting and plot but will find the science of climate manipulation thoroughly intriguing--even vital to our survival." -- D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review.
All ages should enjoy this plausible sci-fi. "While this may be science fiction, it could actually happen. That's just one of the things that makes it intriguing. Thompson weaves believable characters, both good and greedy, along with dangers throughout the story. Plenty of intrigue and new-found knowledge about our water future kept in the story the entire way. This is a new genre for Thompson and once again he knocks it out of the park." ~ ~ Susan Reichert, former Editor-in-Chief, Southern Writer's Magazine, current editor of Suite T, and author of Storms in Life and other books.
"Our editorial staff found Thompson's latest novel to be yet another example of his master storytelling craft. If you like being in the middle of the action and not taken down rabbit holes or force fed overly descriptive scenes and places, you'll love this book. Thompson has taken facts of an extremely serious environmental problem and woven them into a plausible, almost certain world ahead. In fact, it doesn't read like science fiction. It reads more like reality. Be prepared." [for your future!] Cindy Coopwood, Editor-in-Chief, DELTA Magazine.

MICHAEL HICKS THOMPSON was born in his mother's own bed. Raised on a farm in Mississippi, he claims to know a thing or two about small towns, strong women, and alcoholic men. And Jesus. He graduated from Ole Miss, served in the military, then received a masters degree in mass communication from the University of South Carolina. Married to Tempe Adams for forty-four years, he lives in Memphis, Tennessee. He's the father of three Christian men, grandfather of four, and mortgage holder of a home full of toys. The Rector is his sixth novel. Michael founded an advertising agency in 1977 that grew into a multi-city, multi-service marketing organization with 87 employees, which he sold in 2011. Michael has written movie scripts and novels, is a self-taught artist of religious works, a licensed offshore sailor, and scuba diver. He's traveled to Cuba twice on door-to-door evangelism mission trips, is a member of Kairos prison ministry, and member of IPC Church for 36 years. (That has to be enough about me. There's more on my author site.)
