Rivers Without Borders

di Mike Drake (Autore)

Mike Drake, 2025

A retired soldier. A dying river. A mission that could save a nation—or ignite a war. Nabil al-Rashid is a man of two pasts: a soldier whose hands are calloused by war, and a teacher who has spent decades nurturing hope in a small Iraqi village. Now, his village of Al-Qadisiyyah is dying, starved of life by the vanished Euphrates River, which has been choked upstream by a massive dam in Turkey. As his people face a slow death from thirst and despair, a former comrade arrives with an audacious, impossible plan: to lead a secret mission to breach the Atatürk Dam and free the river. Reluctantly, Nabil must once again take up the mantle of command he swore he would leave behind. He assembles a team of veterans, engineers, and medics—ordinary people driven by desperation to an extraordinary act of defiance. Their journey will take them across hostile borders and into the heart of a fortress of concrete and steel, where they will be hunted by the intelligence agencies of multiple nations who watch their every move. But breaching the dam is only the beginning. Their actions trigger a firestorm of international politics, turning Nabil and his team into pawns in a global power game. As Ankara brands them terrorists and the Arab world hails them as martyrs, a war of words erupts from the streets of Baghdad and Cairo to the halls of the United Nations. Spanning from the parched fields of Iraq to the tense corridors of power, Rivers Without Borders is a gripping geopolitical thriller about tomorrow's wars, fought today for the one resource no nation can live without: water. It is a story of sacrifice, the crushing weight of leadership, and the undying hope that even when chained, a river—and its people—will one day run free.
