Water pressure from massive Lake Power, slowly at first, then faster and faster, begins to tear the dam apart. When a massive blast knocks a small hole in the Glen Canyon Dam, shooting a slender spray across the canyon below, the trouble begins. And somewhere a man sets in motion plans to blow up the Glen Canyon Dam and destroy all the dams and projects between Lake Powell and the Gulf of California. Two rafts filled with white water enthusiasts float down the Grand Canyon. Three couples water ski and explore Lake Powell and its environs at the beginning of a badly needed vacation. Grant Stevens, an engineer for the Bureau of Reclamation, gets bumped from attending an engineering conference in Kenya by both his boss and his supervisor. This suspense thriller begins with multiple scenarios. Wet Desert by Gary Hansen is an extraordinary book. The ones I’ve selected to review are diverse and will appeal to a wide range of readers. Summer reading has started off with more books than I’m able to cover in one column and there’s something to suit almost every taste.
