Short description

Montreal has fallen to the neo-fascist Liberators, and teen soldiers Joanie Morgernstern and Michael Cross are on the losing side. Joanie is an Augmented Human and a Jew. Michael is a Mohawk. Their fanatically racist enemies will show them no mercy. Swept up in Canada's last, desperate attempt to stave off defeat, Joanie and Mike expect nothing but death. Instead, they find each other.

Extended description

The neo-fascist armies of the Liberator have swept across the Americas like a plague. Montreal is in flames, and the front is less than a kilometre away.

Seventeen year-old Private Joanie Morgernstern can expect no mercy from the victors. As a Canadian soldier, an Augmented Human and a Jew, she is a blood enemy to the Liberator three times over. Aircraftman Michael Cross, 16, a technician in the Air Force of the Iroquois Six Nations is on the same hitlist. Their fanatically racist enemies will show them no quarter and no mercy.

Swept up in Canada's last, desperate attempt to stave off defeat, Joanie and Mike expect nothing but death. Instead, they find each other. --
