About the Book

The Water Factor, a Rightfully Mine Novel, is a 2024 International Firebird Book Award winner for best dystopian novel and a Literary Titan Gold Award recipient for best thriller. The book is a confronting eco-thriller showing environmental devastation that will surprise and engross readers until the final page. The novel opens dramatically in 2039 with James Hokama Byrne, grandson of Chief Tahoma-Kiche, leading a team to steal water trucks and take them to the reservation where his grandparents live. The battle began years ago, when water was labeled a commodity rather than a right, and Glacier Oceanside joined the ranks of the world's largest water cartels. Top executives didn't count on being confronted by James Hokama Byrne, an employee the company mentored since his high school graduation. But delivering to drought-stricken farms and getting kidnapped in Ethiopia changed the young man's outlook. When the Glacier Oceanide started draining aquifers on his grandfather's reservation to send to bottling plants and marijuana farms, something within him snapped. He couldn't remain silent. The plot lures readers into the manipulations and crimes of water cartels, drug lords, and utility companies that operate openly and with little oversight. The action takes place in eastern Oregon, Ethiopia, and on an Indian reservation in the high desert. To ensure authenticity, Eichinger was aided by members of the Warm Springs Reservation in Oregon and was assisted by Ed Edmo, a consultant to the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, and by Ethiopian migrant families. The story is exciting and radical, with an urgent message to humanity. It engages readers through love affairs, murder, and kidnapping. Those who like action with a touch of romance and cry for misused populations, won't want to miss this call to get involved.

Review :
"Eichinger's near-future dystopian eco-thriller explores a world with little water. Eichinger addresses a critical topic with the frame of an attention-grabbing plot." - Kirkus Review "Supported by a nuanced cast and a highly topical narrative, 'The Water Factor' is undoubtedly a well-written and crafted novel worthy of attention." - Ben List. Critical Reading Editor. Former Social Media Manager, UK. "What an accomplishment!! I'm impressed by the extensive amount of research, thought, and creativity put into this effort. The science and technical aspects seem to be accurate and well-presented. I like how you have integrated Western science approaches with indigenous knowledge and practices." - Al DeSena, founding director of the CarnegieScience Center (Pittsburgh, PA) and Exploration Place (Wichita, KS), former National Science Foundation Program Officer. ""Though The Water Factor takes place 20 years in the future and the characters are fictitious, the story is occurring now and will open many eyes to the danger that is coming. Future big wars will not be over oil or land; they will be over water. Free, clean water is losing its place as a right of humankind. - Michael (Two-Feathers) Ray, Potowatami, Filmmaker and Storyteller "The book is engaging and I enjoyed it, and I learned a lot! The characters are good, clear, and very interesting. I especially liked their changing views on water rights and industry. Fun to read." - Ginnie Cooper, boards of Literary Arts in Portland, the Smithsonian Center for Folk Life and Cultural Heritage. Former executive director of the Portland and Brooklyn Public Library Systems and head librarian of the District of Columbia Public Library. "When I started The Water Factor, I wasn't sure I would like it. After the action-packed first chapter and the kidnapping, I was completely hooked! It's clearly a thriller with a timely message. I'm impressed with all the author's research behind it." - David Ucko, president, Museums+more; founding president, Science City at Union Station; former National Science Foundation officer.
