Description

On a desert settlement on a remote planet, the limited water is as precious as life. Until it starts to kill them…

Thaddeus and the rest of the small medical crew have just arrived at their next assignment—a small, drought-ridden settlement, where people are dying in horrific, unnatural ways. They suspect the water source has something to do with it, but how do you live without water?

The crew soon realizes the deaths are only part of the problem. The people are hostile and suspicious, the settlement's doctor is hiding information, and the crew can't get off the planet until the annual storm blows through. They need to find what's killing people, and quickly—but trapped in a hostile settlement on the harsh desert wasteland with water running low, even that might not be enough to keep them alive.

Set in the world of The Devil and the Dark, The Water Paradox is the second book in R.M. Olson's gripping space-horror series, The Dark Between Stars.
