From Thine Own Well

Wonderfully realistic dystopian!

Who controls the water -- controls the masses.

Disillusioned former Yukon mining exploration worker, Landon McGuire, is torn from his self-imposed exile into a Canada he no longer recognizes. Water is a precious commodity, and the environment is contaminated. Individual rights are non-existent and corporate rule is the law--a law enforced by the corporation's own brutal militia.

Unregulated fracking and irresponsible mining have destroyed the watersheds. A small group of people band together to combat the ruling coalition, but find themselves embroiled in a dangerous game. Landon meets Nora and is drawn into the fray. What begins as a fact-finding mission turns deadly as they get closer to the truth.

Deceit, threats and violence emphasize the reality that economy trumps environment even when lives are at stake.

"...the action scenes in particular are viscerally realistic -- I almost felt the various injuries myself!" Lawrence Purdy
