A breathtaking look at an underworld of crime and drugs in a future where technology and climate change are both well advanced. Three young friends spend the Easter vacation seeking thrills that are sometimes daring and risky. They soon become accidentally involved in a criminal enterprise, orchestrated by older gangsters who battle daily for control of the streets.

Set in the near future, At the Water's Edge explores how science and technology have shaped a world in which natural resources are so scarce that even parts of Antarctica and its surrounds are being exploited. At the same time, relentless climate change dominates the urban environment to the point where an elderly man chooses to leave the streets behind and live in the forest. A seemingly chance encounter brings one of the friends into contact with this man and they become good friends. The old man is tuned in to nature in surprising ways and warns of impending doom. A thoroughly good read with lots of twists and turns.
