Perfection is Difficult
Perfection is Difficult. It’s nearly impossible to do everything right, though some people think automation and robots come closer to it than humans. We want our doctors to be perfect and not make mistakes. Still, what about book publishers? Unfortunately, AMAZON messed up the first few paperback editions of The Water Factory. It must have been surprising for purchasers to open the cover to 40 pages of another author’s book before getting to mine. Unless you think a misprinted book will become as valuable as a dollar with a printing error, I suggest you return it to AMAZON and ask for another. The printing was corrected, so you don’t have to worry.
It has been an exciting two weeks. Launching a novel is not easy. Every author asks what will bring their book to the forefront of the thousands of books published daily. Part of a successful launch depends on friends and family. In appreciation of your support, I reduced the cost of the Kindle and paperback through the 20th of May. Purchasing it now will put me higher on AMAZON’s complicated algorithms. It is annoying not to speak to a live person when an automated system goes haywire.
What makes this week particularly exciting is the review The Water Factor received from Literary Titan, which will be shared with 60,000 followers. You can purchase it on AMAZON IN e-book and paperback formats. An audiobook will be available later this month. The Water Factor will be sold in bookstores in time for good summer reading.

THE WATER FACTOR—A RIGHTFULLY MINE NOVEL
“The Water Factor plunges readers into a gripping eco-thriller set in a dystopian near-future of 2039, a world not so far removed from our own. Here, the scarcity of water drives a tale of struggle, resistance, and survival, mirroring our current global water crisis. At the heart of the story is James Hokama Byrne, a character who embarks on a daring mission to steal water trucks for his drought-stricken community. The novel’s fusion of an urgent environmental theme with the classic elements of a thriller creates a compelling narrative that resonates with contemporary concerns about resource depletion and corporate greed.
Eichinger’s writing is both potent and poignant, vividly illustrating a world on the precipice of ecological collapse. The portrayal of a future where water is a precious and fought-over resource is unsettling yet believable, which is a stark reflection of current global water scarcity trends. What sets this novel apart is the author’s inclusion of indigenous perspectives on natural resources, which I thought was a rich and often overlooked dimension that adds depth and nuance to the environmental conversation.
One of the most riveting scenes in the book is the heist of water trucks led by James. In the dead of night, James and his team stealthily infiltrate a secure compound. This moment of high-stakes theft is not just about acquiring a vital resource it symbolizes a desperate fight against a corrupt system that commodifies water. It’s an exhilarating sequence that highlights the risks the characters are willing to take and the dire state of their world.
The Water Factor is a thought-provoking and timely novel. Its fusion of environmental issues with thrilling elements will appeal to readers who enjoy suspense novels that not only entertain but also inform and provoke reflection. Particularly recommended for fans of eco-thrillers and readers interested in environmental activism.” Literary Titan
