About this listen

When impoverished, disheartened, poorly educated, but well-armed aboriginal young people find a modern revolutionary leader, they rally with a battle cry of "Take Back the Land!"

Theirs is a fight to right the wrongs inflicted on them by "the white settlers." They know they are too small to take on the entire country, but they don't need to. Over a few tension-filled days as the battles rages over abundant energy resources, the frantic prime minister can only watch as the insurrection paralyzes the country. But when energy-dependent Americans discover the southward flow of Canadian hydroelectricity, oil, and natural gas is halted, they do not remain passive.

Although none of the country's leaders see it coming, the shattering consequences unfold with the same plausible harmony by which quiet aboriginal protests decades ago became the eerie premonitions of today's stand-offs and "days of action."

meh

I really wanted to like this, but I couldn't get into it and found my mind wandering and would have to skip back quite a few times. I didn't even make it to chapter 3. Maybe I'll give it a read instead.

Interesting and entertaining

I’ve read this one and found it enjoyable. Listening to it was a fun refresher. It was compelling and fun to see this “what if” play out, it’s takes a few liberties for the sake of storytelling but it was pretty entertaining all the same and the variety of perspectives kept it from being too narrow.
