‘A wooden box is discovered on an island in the Canadian Arctic that challenges the rightful ownership of the North’.
Rohmer's novel, Canadian Arctic: Moscow's Next Ukraine, intricately weaves through the threat and actions and legal disputes when Russia takes real, actual steps to take all or part of the Canadian Arctic - but is held off while a judicial review by a world intervention holds the decision until the last page of this compelling struggle.
Major-General Rohmer has written a score of novels dealing with fictional antagonistic and diplomatic pressures and confrontations between the governments and people of the United States and Canada. Over many decades, lots of shouting and threats over custom charges, tax programs, economics and the like but never has there been a threat by the US to "take over" Canada. Unthinkable.
There is a real possibility that the single-minded leadership of Russia can lead to a hostile bid to acquire more Arctic lands. Lands directly abutting Russia at its northern boundary and that directly abut Canada's northern / Arctic lands and islands. Russia has been constructing new military air and naval bases along land just north of the fabled - so called Northwest Passage, waters that will soon be opening for cargo ships as the Arctic climate warms - allowing Russian and Chinese ships (including navies) to pass through the Passage.
The danger of accidental or planned invasion of Canada from the north - according to Rohmer - and the potential for Russian attack, is real and increasing under a "one man" presidency.
