Water Wars

Capt. Charley's second novel examines life at sea through the eyes of his crew Capt. Louis Gladding and his cockpit ace, Crafty. With his nearly fifty years as a professional tournament and charter fishing mate and captain, the author will take the reader throught the intrigue of an unfinished piracy at sea. The story now moves into Florida's battle cry for clean water and more transparent, improved environmental protections. Decades of suspect state and federal water management practices have been wreaking havoc and destruction on virtually all of the states waters; fresh, brackish and salt.

WATER WARS is a story of an unresolved piracy off the shores of Cuba and an evil plot only partially achieved. It is a perspective of how politicians, land owners and developers have relied on greed and backdoor politics to amass incredible power and wealth at the expense of its citizens.
