For his latest novel Kim Kinrade uses the wild interior of British Columbia
as the setting, featuring a very ordinary guy thrown into extraordinary circumstances. Greg Majewski is a music teacher whose wonderful life is stripped from him through the death of loved ones, the loss of his dream job and, finally, alcoholism. He never would have dreamed that during the climb from his awful situation he would affect the biggest man-made project since the building of the Great Wall of China.
Since Alaska was bought from Russia in 1867, the dream of every Alaskan has been a rail link to the continental U.S. through Canada. GenTechno, a mega-corporation, takes the reins and builds a magnetic-levitation train that will travel the 3000 miles from Fairbanks to Seattle at speeds of over 300 mph. Suspended under the concrete track are pipelines carrying precious water and gas to the “lower 48.”
In Georgia Strait off Vancouver Island, Greg Majewski’s family is killed in a boat collision with a fast-ferry owned by GenTechno, who unjustly blames Majewski’s young son for the accident. In his search for the truth, Majewski finds an unlikely ally in a former Canadian army sniper, decorated for his prowess in Afghanistan, and the duo threatens to turn the new line into a 3000-mile inferno. This ignites an international manhunt spearheaded by Special Forces teams from two countries.
