Canadian government sanctioned Assassin.
Chance meetings with highly skilled and motivated people; direct a young man into a world of deception and pain.
The Quiet Canadians is a fictional look into Canada’s involvement in covert or clandestine activities. It presents a view of how such men are recruited into this profession and trained. It delves into how the men justify their activities to themselves, and how the government does likewise. It also portrays the child that becomes the operative. A series of chance meetings and, to an extent, fate, steers a child toward a lifestyle in a necessary, yet unacknowledged professional segment of society.
I am a person that enjoys writing for a variety of reasons. First. Writing is fun. It gives the author an opportunity to share ideas and philisophical views. Second. It allows you to create characters that represent both the good and deceitful within our society. You cannot have one without the other. We need both to function. Third. Writing is communcation. If the content of a novel gets people together to discuss it’s merits, defficiencies, possible connections to real life scenarios and social issues, then the author has suceeded in provoking meaniful discussion that could lead to even more ideas. That is success.
