Nice to finally see this in print. I'm friends with one of the editors (Montreal friend of a friend thing) and I was there when he got the news that the anthology was going to get funding at a science fiction convention way back in 2018. Then the publishing company went through some "weird"...

Nice article. You missed a chance to point out that "Ishmael" is packed with "cameos" by characters from nearly every science-fiction and western TV show that was on the air from the 1960's to 80's. The wikipedia article on the book has a whole section on it.

This was the first AH novel I had ever bought. Was impressed by it.

Nice article. Only one tiny nitpick: Actually Nimoy was American, a proud Boston boy.

Who wrote that quote?

Yeah, for some strange reason, there appears to be two separate links for the ebook and paperbook. Maybe @Lord Roem knows why?

Only way I can see that happening is if New York or Boston got burned down or something and was never rebuilt. The impression I've always had of DC was that it was always a government town first and that's coloured its impact onwards. Yeah, as an ex-Montrealer, Ottawa was always considered...

I didn't like it. I adored it. So much I'm tracking down all of his other stuff now.

Alternatively, given that the two countries had a rather complicated relationship, it can also drag out the land swap even longer. Especially if the various enclaves' quasi-governments take pains to make sure they don't piss off either side. Maybe they act as black market dealers for both...

Not really that unique, though. All you need is a chunk of land with uncertain political jurisdiction (literally whole swaths of such in the Middle East and Africa), a massive refugee and/or poor population (same again) and an indifferent/corrupt/useless central government (ditto). Just need...

Man, how could I have forgotten about that one - I was at the Montreal premier of that film. Still have the t-shirt somewhere, I think. It was doubly hilarious for me because the friend I went to see it with was actually working on a (very primitive) prototype of that SQUID.

Neat website. Links to various aboriginal and international constitution info. 'Best Sites' directory is quite extensive. Figured someone here can find this useful. http://web5.uottawa.ca/www5/jmagnet/

I like that idea, especially if you add in hundreds of abandoned cities and wandering robots. Imagine a story set in some small village in the middle of nowhere. There's only a few small families and nobody has ventured out more than a dozen miles in decades, so as far as they're concerned...

Quite frankly, ever since I read that article a while back, I've been leaning in that direction. No messy nuclear war but just a long slow decline. As for the OP, you also have to take the flip side into consideration. An earlier global warming could potentially also mean an earlier reaction to...

Ironically, much of the mini-series was filmed in Canada, which I always found hilarious. There was a novelization of the miniseries that filled in the gaps of what was happening in the rest of the world and there's a persistent rumour that the reason why the miniseries ended on such a big...

The traitorous leader of the Free Quebec and the one who is banging the PM's wife and who attempts to assassinate said PM has the surname of - I kid you not - Villon.

The Night Probe book is literally the only book of his I actually finished, mostly because of morbid curiosity of just how many things he can possibly get wrong about Canada in one book. Incidentally, the retired British secret agent that's activated to retrieve the treaty from the Americans is...
