Conflicts over resources are as old as human history.

Blood & Water presents an impressive collection of writers representing every region of the country whose stories are set from coast to coast to coast.
Mostly science fiction, with a sprinkling of the fantastic, Blood and Water presents a bleak future - but also offers hope and even joy.
Perhaps that is the 'uniquely Canadian perspective'- every conflict has a resolution, every problem has an answer.

- Tanya Huff, author of The Silvered
"Hayden Trenholm has gathered an amazing array of stories about conflict over resources. He's attracted some of the best names in the business and found astonishing newcomers. A must-read for lovers of good fiction."
