Alex, a demolitions expert, just discharged from the Special Forces, stops over in rural Washington to visit an old Army buddy. He meets and becomes involved with Kate, the town darling. When he learns of Kate's meth addiction, he battles to save her and her son, Billy, who is being recruited by a ruthless teenage gang, the Posse. Inadvertently, he comes against a powerful West Coast gang. After a daring rescue from an explosive meth fire, the DEA pursues him as an informant and the gang works hard at eliminating him. Although theme oriented, about a drug made by anyone, anywhere, from anything, this suspense-thriller is definitely character driven with an extraordinary array of characters. A work of fiction more like The Grapes of Wrath than Traffic, it could easily be a true tale.

In the Pacific Northwest, the Snake River and its wilderness tributaries were—as recently as a half century ago—some of the world’s greatest salmon rivers. Now, due to four federal dams, the salmon population has dropped close to extinction. Steven Hawley, journalist and self-proclaimed “river rat,” argues that the best hope for the Snake River lies in dam removal, a solution that pits the power companies and federal authorities against a collection of Indian tribes, farmers, fishermen, and river recreationists. The river’s health, as he demonstrates, is closely connected to local economies, freshwater rights, and energy independence. Challenging the notion of hydropower as a cheap, green source of energy, Hawley depicts the efforts being made on behalf of salmon by a growing army of river warriors. Their message, persistent but disarmingly simple, is that all salmon need is water in their rivers and a clear way home.
