San Jose, CA - Greunke Haus is excited to announce the release of The Water Carriers, the debut post-apocalyptic fiction novel by Gregory Greunke, which launched on January 23, 2025. In a move typical of today’s savvy authors, Gregory has embraced self-publishing to retain creative control and deliver his work on his own timeline.
The Water Carriers takes readers into a near-future world where prolonged drought has elevated water to a status of power and privilege. In this landscape, two powerful families rule the water supply. The story follows the son of a Cambodian water tycoon, who leaves behind his thriving AI dating empire to pursue an ambitious environmental project—only to find himself at the center of blame for a rainstorm that triggers a new, dangerous competitor.
“Post-apocalyptic stories often love to revel in the bleakness of survival,” Gregory says. “I wanted to flip that narrative a bit and ask, ‘What happens when the world starts to recover? How do people go back to their everyday ambitions and schemes?’ The Water Carriers is a story about that transition, and, for a bit of drama, the irony that bringing back water would be the ultimate threat to the protagonist.”
Gregory Greunke is a speculative fiction author dedicated to exploring the intersection of nature, technology, and the human spirit. He creates immersive worlds that pose important questions about society, survival, and hope.
The Water Carriers is available now on Amazon.com. Learn more about the novel, including a disquieting review of the first chapter by two AI hosts, at www.gregorygreunke.com/books.
