Water War

The Snake Valley Okies are in a water war with the City of Las Vegas. The battles include the bombing of a Las Vegas Water Authority car, the occupation of a Las Vegas golf course, a naval confrontation on Lake Mead, the murder of a Las Vegas water department geologist and the theft of millions of gallons of water from Las Vegas’s underground reservoir.
The water war pits Stet, leader of the Okies, against the Lounge Lizards, two Las Vegas cops. Stet’s intent is to stop the 285-pipeline from Las Vegas to the Snake Valley Aquifer, an actual case. The Lounge Lizards set out to remove Stet as the opposition leader by framing him for the car bombing and the murder.
Stet and his cohort, Lolly, a high-tech maven, devise elaborate and clever systems to hold virtual protest demonstrations that allow Stet to rally worldwide support to the Okies’ cause and stay one step ahead of the cops. While on the lam hiding out in a series of “safe ranches,” Stet and his wife Ali find new and creative way to say “I love you” without using the word love.
Stet unravels the mysteries of the car bombing, the murder, and the theft of Las Vegas’s water. His threat to expose the people behind the grand scam causes the water pipeline to be cancelled.
