Original Cover Design from the first
edition:
Synopsis:
A thought provoking and compelling dystopian world
that will change the way you view justice...
A man fights for life—and redemption—in D. M. Cain’s
riveting re-released novel, The Phoenix
Project.
Britain has descended into chaos as violence and
terrorist attacks seethe across this once-peaceful country. Outraged by the
steady stream of lawlessness, citizens demand a harsher penal system, and the
Phoenix Project is born.
In prisons across the country, inmates fight to the
death in a weekly bloodbath while the nation cheers them on.
Raven Kennedy, a prisoner who has never forgiven
himself for his unspeakable crime, struggles against his own guilt and
self-loathing. But even as the real war wages on within himself, Raven is
forced to battle some of the prison’s most ruthless killing machines. Can he
survive long enough to unravel the anger and regret that shackle him—and one
day find the forgiveness he seeks?
‘The Phoenix Project by D.M.
Cain is a superbly written debut, soaked in tension and intrigue,’ Jack
Croxall, author of the ‘Tethers’ trilogy.
An interesting fact about The Phoenix Project: The horrifying ‘dark room’ in The Phoenix Project (a
pitch-black sensory deprivation cell) was inspired by D.M. Cain’s visit to the
Terror Haza in Budapest—a museum dedicated to the fascistic and communistic
regimes that operated from the building. In the cellar of the Terror Haza are
the old cells used to imprison and torture inmates. D.M. crawled inside a very
low cell and shut the door, casting herself into total darkness. It was
terrifying and claustrophobic, and she only lasted five minutes in there!

Lake Mead Drought
Federal water managers released a report Monday projecting that Lake
Mead's water levels will fall below a point in January 2017 that would
force supply cuts to Arizona and Nevada.
The effects could be serious. Arizona's allocation of Colorado River water could be cut 11.4 percent, or by an amount normally used by more than 600,000 homes. Nevada's share could be reduced 4.3 percent. Think 26,000 homes.
But officials heading water agencies in the two states and California took a wait-and-see approach to the projections posted by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
They pointed to fluctuations in precipitation levels just since January. They added that more will be known in August when the bureau knows how much runoff in the upper-basin states of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming reaches the Lake Powell reservoir.
That will determine how much water the agency controlling a Colorado River water system crucial to about 40 million residents in seven Southwest U.S. states will release from Lake Powell through the Grand Canyon to Lake Mead near Las Vegas.
"A lot is going to depend on precipitation and flows from the tributaries," said David Modeer, general manager of the Central Arizona Project, the main water agency in the lower-basin state that would be affected the most.
"We don't think it means a whole lot right now because we have another couple of months to determine the release out of Lake Powell," he said.
The so-called interim guidelines issued Monday by the Bureau of Reclamation predict water levels will be just 2 feet above a key trigger point next January on Lake Mead, the reservoir behind Hoover Dam.
The lake was 37 percent full on Monday, said Dan Bunk, the Bureau of Reclamation's water operations manager. Its water surface level of 1,077 above sea level was 2 feet above the crucial 1,075-foot line.
The so-called interim guidelines chart a wobbly series of historically low water levels at Lake Mead — dropping to as much as 1,054 feet next summer and 1,052 feet in April 2017. But it would be about 1,077 this coming January, the point in time when a declaration of water shortage for 2016 would be made.
Lake Powell, behind the Glen Canyon Dam straddling the Utah-Arizona border, was 45 percent full on Monday. Bunk said that if Powell remains above its own trigger point, water releases to Lake Mead could remain robust and Lake Mead could remain above 1,070 feet through 2016.
"We haven't made any shortage projection. That would be done in August 2016," Bunk said.
Lake Mead reached its high-water capacity in 1983 at 1,225 feet. It reaches so-called "dead pool" at just under 900 feet, meaning nothing would flow downstream from Hoover Dam.
Las Vegas and its 2 million residents and 40 million tourists a year get almost all their drinking water from Lake Mead.
John Entsminger, general manager of the regional Southern Nevada Water Authority, said he believed conservation efforts like those now being adopted in California have put Las Vegas in a position to handle any initial shortage reductions "without significant impact."
"There is no doubt that this drought is serious," he said, "and the projections from the Bureau of Reclamation continue to reaffirm that reality."
William Hasencamp, Colorado River resources chief for the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, said he saw reason to prepare, not panic.
Drought-stricken California will continue to be able to draw its 4.4 million acre-foot allocation of Colorado River water even if Arizona and Nevada are affected.
"But we lose flexibility, which is a pretty big deal because we serve just under 19 million people," Hasencamp said. "We know a shortage is coming at some point."
