Noxious substances in the watershed brings a society to its knees; Fracking by oil companies has taken its toll.

Produktbeschreibung
Noxious substances in the watershed brings a society to its knees; Fracking by oil companies has taken its toll. Canadian society has been altered, seemingly irrevocably; water resources have become scarce and individual freedoms cast off. It is now 2036, only 24 years since the most devastating of a series of international accords, one simply known as The Agreement, set the precedent for many that followed - effectively causing the federal government to collapse into ruin and dependency on corporatist rule. Unrestricted fracking and irresponsible mining practices have caused major watersheds and underground streams to become contaminated, the precious fluid - noxious. The sole purpose of The Coalition, a regulatory body created by the world-wide conglomerates that took over the governing of the country is to ensure the profitability of its corporate members. In Yukon, Canada's far north, a baker's dozen of unknown, everyday people and one dog are loosely thrown together in an effort to combat The Coalition and its impact on Canadian lives and the environment. Join Landon, Nora, Galen and the others who, through no design of their own, have become the unknown hope for Canada's future. Will they prevail in the small jurisdiction they reside in and set the bar for the rest of Canada? Only time will tell.
Autorenporträt
Norm Hamilton (1951- ) has lived in Whitehorse, Yukon for 40 years and is now living on Vancouver Island with his wife, Anna, where he is meeting people and experiencing new adventures to write about. He is a photographer and freelance writer. He is currently enjoying Duncan, B.C. Norm has written one non-fiction book, "The Digital Eye." It is a compilation of articles for people wanting to improve their photography skills or for those who want to learn digital photography. His latest project is a novel titled, "From Thine Own Well," a story about a dystopian Canadian society brought about by unrestricted gas fracking and irresponsible mining techniques. It all began with a FIPI agreement in 2012 that left the federal government open to lawsuits - that they lost.
