About the Book
A Nation's First Act: Kill or Be Killed
Lance, an aging Ontario farmer, foresees societal collapse and sells everything to build an off-grid sanctuary in the northern bush. With family and a motley crew of engineers, medics, soldiers, and teenagers, he erects “the Centre”—wind towers, bunkers, and community halls—while global politics spiral into a pandemic, climate disaster, and limited nuclear war.
Parallel covert-intel agent Liam uncovers elite plots and fights to stall escalation. Fallout engulfs Ontario, but the enclave, battle-hardened under Lance’s grandson Scott, survives, mourning losses yet forging a charter embracing shared labor, ethics, and hope, symbolized by new stairways rising within the lodge triumphantly for all.
