The water is retreating. The world should be healing. Instead, the ground is coming apart.

After helping reverse the Great Wash Out, civil engineer John Hollie should be celebrated as a hero. Instead, he sits in solitary confinement, blamed for the catastrophe and awaiting a trial designed to silence him.

Beyond the prison walls, the rapidly receding water has created a new disaster. Saturated ground buckles. Foundations shift. Roads and buildings collapse as survivors attempt to reclaim land that may no longer support them.

Then evidence emerges that a powerful faction intends to seize the atmospheric technology that reshaped the world?and use it again. Their promised correction could preserve some communities while sacrificing countless others.

Forced back into the fight, Hollie and the survivors who stood beside him must cross an unstable country, expose the conspiracy, and reach the machinery before another engineered catastrophe begins.

The flood changed the world. The next fight will decide who controls it.

John's New World is Book Two in The Great Wash Out, a post-apocalyptic disaster thriller series about survival, rebuilding, and the battle over who controls humanity's recovery.
