NATIONS WITHIN - A Novel by Don Atkinson - Published by Centurion books, Ottawa Canada, ISBN 0-571-7-49697, 232pp, paper, $12.95. Nations Within is set against the backdrop of a ceceding Quebec and a native population that refuses to go peacefully. Actions by both Quebec and the aboriginal people quickly escalate into civil strife involving the whole country. The violence coupled by the disintegrating economy brings a nervous United States into the picture. The novel is realistic - often chillingly so - and filled with excitement. Behind all the skilled character descriptions and colourful dialogue is the creepy feeling that the events in the book could really happen. Nations Within grabs one's attention from the first violent confrontation, through political maneuvering and guerrilla warfare, and holds the reader in suspense until the final paragraph. "A frighteningly accurate rendition of what could happen..." - a member of the aboriginal community. "...a fast-paced thriller...fiction but based on potential reality..." - Doug Aldridge - CFMO FM Ottawa. "...a fictional thriller set in a Canada on the verge of breakup..." - Jim Robb, Ottawa Citizen. "...Fiction but close to fact...creates a lot of suspense..." - Rhonda London, CHRO TV.
