Produktbeschreibung

Twenty years ago, the discovery of a rift to another world revitalized the nation's sagging economy, opening up exclusive access to new lands and resources. Now, in the midst of an uneasy peace with the native inhabitants, journalist and travel writer David Burns sets out into unauthorized territory, beyond the frontier, to gather material for his latest book. But when his helicopter goes down on a snow-covered mountainside, he finds himself in the company of three members of the local insurgency. On the journey that follows, David is forced to re-evaluate his comfortable assumptions about patriotism, terrorism, and the role of the journalist as a witness to events.

Autorenporträt

Originally from Windsor, Ontario, I grew up in the Toronto area, graduated from Dunbarton High School in Pickering, and later attended both the University of Toronto (St. Michael's College, BA) and the University of New Brunswick (Fredericton, MA, PhD). I've worked as a night shift janitor, tree planter, drugstore assistant manager, ESL instructor, and teacher of literature, non-Western thought, and human rights, those last two of which I currently enjoy doing at St. Thomas University in Fredericton. I taught for four years in South Korea, and my travels have taken me to various locations in North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Longstanding interests in fantasy literature, mythology, science, and the philosophy and poetry of East and South-East Asia, have all influenced my writing in one way or another, as has my love of hiking, camping, and paddling.
