Produktbeschreibung

Story Overview

Northern Wisconsin's forests are on fire and drawing ever closer to Kat's lodge. Across her lake she spots cabins burning and races to help. She arrives to find a woman in a wedding gown seated in a cabin already ablaze. "Let it burn" the woman says, then walks off into the forest.

Within a day, Kat discovers the fire is only one of the problems she faces. The bride appears at her lodge with stories of marijuana growers and Russians and a Cold War antenna. She wants Kat's help and seeks her love. Kat agrees to a quick trip to Republic, Michigan, home to one end of the hundred-mile antenna extending through national forests in Wisconsin and Michigan.

Their questions raise the suspicions of a local guard who threatens Kat with arrest unless she agrees to help locate Russian agents. Her relations with him quickly become romantic. She moves in with him as she searches. She also becomes part of an odd community of women left behind when the local mines closed. Descendants of Finnish immigrants escaping Russian attacks during the Second World War, they have become a local tribe a tribe dedicated to hatred of all things Russian.

Kat meets a Russian woman who wants access to the antenna. The woman seduces, then captures, Kat and makes her part of a plot to send nuclear launch codes over the antenna. Kat is rescued by the local women, only to discover the women have their own plans for the antenna.

Throughout, Kat and Taylor have a mystery to solve and choices to make - who to trust and who to love. Wrong choices could result in nuclear war.

Autorenporträt

About me:

I am retired college prof. Winters are long in Wisconsin. Writing is a good hobby to have when the days are cold. I have been posting my novels to Smashwords (and now B2B) for over a decade. I am very happy with the venue. Thousands of folks have downloaded my books. It helps that they are free. ;-)

About my novels:

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?
