Year of the cloud

title:

Year of the cloud

summary:

The Cloud is a nasty blob of dust in the Earth's path--a "stable polymer" having the effect of raising the viscosity of water. Four scientists wallow through the horrors caused by gelatinous fluids (dying wildlife, approaching starvation and thirst for humanity) but somehow come through with a possible antidote and the hope of mankind's ability to adapt.
