• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Russia's failing war in Ukraine tempts China to take all of East Siberia. Its plan has two parts. First, build a pipeline to the Arctic under a Russian license. But the pipeline will be heavily fortified, ready to provide a western wall when Chinese forces march north in the second part of the conquest. Protected by the western wall, China can take all the Pacific coast and much of the Arctic.
Catherine has no interest in Russia or China. She lives a quiet life in Madison, Wisconsin, enjoying the arrival of spring. Then her husband is killed as her daughter is kidnapped and carried to Moscow. Catherine races after her daughter only to be captured and taken to Siberia. Her job? Prevent a Chinese takeover of Russian lands. Why would she help the Russians? And how should she respond to the Chinese leader who declares her to be his property?
For over a year she lives locked in a converted shipping container while the Chinese fight their way north north to the Arctic Ocean and the conquest of Siberia.

Autorenporträt

I have three sets of books here. The first is an alternative history of the US, envisioning how things might have gone had the French prevailed in the French and Indian War. That series comes from some personal experiences. I have canoed sections of the Fox, and driven along its banks. I have followed the voyageur route from the Sault to Quebec and traveled from Green Bay to New Orleans by car and by boat. My wife and I have spent many happy days on Mackinac Island and in Door County.

The Jessica Thorpe series is very different. It takes place in the tiny town of Amberg, Wisconsin, a place where I used to live. I wanted to describe that town and its troubles. Initially the novel involved a militia take over of the town, and it was called "Two Angry Men." But both men were predictable and boring. I had decided to have the story narrated by the town bartender - Jessica - and I soon realized she was the most interesting character in the book. She became the lead in the Jessica Thorpe series.

I restarted the series with a fight over a proposed water plant with Jessica balancing environmental rights and business rights. I put Jessica right in the middle of a real problem we are experiencing here in Wisconsin (and most other places). How badly does a tiny town need jobs? How much environmental damage should we accept?

The third series changes the lead character. Catherine Johnson solves mysteries. She also travels. It took her to many places I have been. The last several books take place in Russia. I admit I have no idea what is motivating the current madness there. Catherine looks, she tries to help, she struggles. What else can any of us do?
