Military Author Fans Flames of Quebec Secession
After the province of Quebec votes to seceed from Canada, peaceful negotiations failing, and war rhetoric rising, this military techno-thriller starts as a public relations ploy to show strength but turns into an operation gone awry. In his debut fiction novel author Michael Karpovage thrusts a U.S. Army 10th Mountain infantry task force into a volatile secessionist Quebec. The mission was supposed to be a permissive U.S./Canadian joint spearhead insertion into the St. Lawrence port city of Trois Rivieres aimed at bringing the breakaway province back to negotiations in resolving its claim of secession. Instead, the American infantry unit is drawn into a violent urban battle with a column of main battle tanks from the revolutionary Quebec Defense Force, a force clandestinely supported by France. |
