The Battle of Bear Island
(2026)(The second book in the Northern Fury series)
A novel by Bart Gauvin and Joel Radunzel
The Arctic wind swept down on them from Mount Misery, it pierced every fiber of clothing and
nerve they possessed.
‘They’re here,’ said Grimes
‘Good, let's warm this place up,’ responded Foster as he crawled into position.
There, emerging from the haze of blowing snow were a group of Soviet soldiers. Evenly spaced
in a long file, picking their way through the drifts and white crusted rocks. Looking. Searching
for something or someone, whatever mysterious ghost had been lurking out of their reach.
Foster knew that the Russians had just found what they were looking for, but he planned to make
that a costly discovery.
The Battle of Bear Island is set in the Northern Fury world where a hardline government deposed
Mikhail Gorbachev and reasserted Moscow’s control of rebellious Soviet Republics. Three years
later, in February 1994, the USSR lashes out against the economic strangulation imposed by the
west and initiates a war to destabilise Europe and NATO.
Bear Island is a tiny spec of land between the North Cape of Norway and the Svalbard
Archipelago. An island so remote and desolate, few even knew of its existence, until both the
Soviets and NATO want to use it as a base to monitor each other.
Genre: Thriller
