When a vigilante group in Canada, calling themselves The 9th Divinity, declares war on Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un (North Korea), world powers are shocked as they penetrate both the Kremlin and North Korean defenses, threatening to summarily end both dictatorships. Canada's top anti-terrorist team, headed by Keeno McCole, is called into play to rein in the group before the dictators resort to playing their ace cards, but things don't go as planned, and the crisis that mounts will test Keeno's team as they face their greatest challenge ever; stopping nuclear war.
"Terrifyingly well written and so realistic! From a master of suspense, an activist for human rights and against nuclear weapons, comes a disturbingly believable story of people who are ready to risk their lives—and AI is of a great help for it—to save the humankind from governing sociopaths and criminals. Though fiction, it is not. Ranked as a thriller, the book gives an impression of nowadays chronicles. Sweeping across the world – Canada, Russia, United States, North Korea, and South Korea, it's a rollercoaster of danger and persistence of some people, as well as a self-sacrifice for the good cause at the time when the world is balancing on the edge of apocalypse. Some of Laplain's characters act the way millions of people would approve of. Even more, it may make some readers do some soul searching. In the words of the author, "When that reality hits home, when it gets personal, when people realize that their pathetic apathy and pathetic complacency comes with a heavy price, that their children and grandchildren are going to irrevocably face an apocalyptic scene . . ." Isn't it a timely appeal? I would highly recommend this book to everyone who thinks about the future."
