Flint Rock grew up in Texas where everything was big. For example,
thirst. You haven't been thirsty till it is 116 degrees in the
shade and the mouthful of water in your canteen is boiling hot and
your car won't start and it is miles to the nearest town. He had
that experience and a few others like it, and he didn't want any
part of being really thirsty again. Then he got a text message from
a friend in Samoa, a country in the South Pacific that is distant
from everywhere. There he learned more about the meaning of
satisfying thirst. Flint is a retired airline pilot who stumbled on
a plot to use abandoned oil wells in Texas as a place to store
nuclear waste. He set out to help a town defeat a corporation that
has leased access to dry wells. Now two people are dead and another
is missing. Flint helps the Texas Rangers to uncover a scheme that
is international in scope and sinister in aim. In the process he is
captured and held without water unless he agrees to betray the
town. He has help from a friend who, at much risk to herself,
blocks the corporation's move to profit by Flint's and others'
misery. Along the way Flint rediscovers the meaning of love and the
nature of life.
