Water promises to be to the 21st century what oil was to the 20th...

Lachlan Fox has made a career out of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. As a shore assault specialist in an Australian Navy Clearance Diver Team, he often came up against bad guys and even worse odds. Now working as an investigative journalist for an independent news organisation he doesn "t back away from uncovering the big stories...global conspiracies, rogue secret agents, terrorist cells... With his best friend Alister Gammaldi, Fox is caught up in the corrupt world of international politics and arms races and, it seems, as the earth feels the impact of global warming that the commodity everyone is after is water. Lachlan discovers some people will do anything to control it. When he exposes their secrets he finds himself back in the front line and facing his strongest enemy yet.

Praise for previous books in the Lachlan Fox series: "Phelan gets the balance absolutely right. There is enough action, plenty of fascinating technical jargon, a light smattering of sex, and thankfully no political agenda. He very effectively uses two-to-three-page chapters to propel the action at a rattling pace. "An absolute must-read for fans of Clancy, Ludlum et al." - Bookseller and Publisher.

"Of course, like all good thrillers, there are enough twists in Patriot Act "s plot to keep the reader guessing right up to the last page." - The Age.

"Drawn to a keen edge, smart, resilient Lachlan Fox is a tough, savvy hero. Patriot Act takes the reader on a fast and furious ride through a complicated maze of timely political intrigue. James Phelan has earned a new avid fan - Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling writer.
