The prequel to The Price of Water, the geopolitical thriller readers called "disturbingly plausible," "compulsively readable," and "less like fiction than a classified briefing."
Before water becomes the world's most valuable commodity, before global systems fracture under environmental and political strain, there is The Siberian Question.
In this tense and meticulously researched prequel, Ross Adams traces the origin of the crisis, and the beginnings of a solution, that later define The Price of Water. As Russia weakens, China advances patiently while the West misreads the moment. Siberia, vast, resource-rich, and demographically transforming, emerges as the fulcrum on which the future world order will turn.
Through the eyes of intelligence officers, political leaders, and operatives embedded deep inside rival systems, The Siberian Question reveals how long-term strategy, economic dependency, migration, and climate pressure quietly align into something irreversible. What appears at first as regional instability becomes the opening move in a global realignment that no nation is prepared to stop.
Readers praised The Price of Water for its realism, clarity, and chilling sense of inevitability. The Siberian Questiondeepens that realism, showing how such a future does not arrive suddenly, but is constructed, step by step, by rational actors making logical choices in an unforgiving world.
The Siberian Question can be read as a standalone geopolitical thriller, but it also forms the foundation of The Price of Water, revealing the strategic origins of the geopolitical world order in which the crisis that will soon engulf the globe takes place.
