About Me
- W Robert Ballantyne
- I am a Canadian with dual American citizenship. This novel was written (but never published) in 1997 while my wife and I were living on Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands. From 1991 to 1998, we frequently hiked the west coast of Vancouver Island, witnessing and supporting the efforts of protest groups and the First Nations tribes to defend the rainforest against industrial logging interests. This novel, however, is a work of fiction, and any references to historical events; to real people , living or dead; or to real locales, organizations or institutions are intended only to impart historical reality to the fiction. Other names, characters, places, and incidents are products of the author's imagination or are used fictitiously,and their resemblance, if any, to real-life counterparts is entirely coincidental.
