Moonshadows: A Yukon-noir climate thriller
'The Yukon-noir climate thriller has arrived.' - Grant Redfern
In the Yukon Territory's not-too-distant future, after the wildfires and climate refugees...An explosion rips through the night sky at the Northern Lights LNG plant, showering hot metal on protesters at the Winter Solstice climate vigil.
Who did it? Eco-terrorists? Or was it a false-flag operation by Freedom activists?Government plans for carbon rationing and phasing out gasoline have polarized Yukoners, pitting the Greens versus the Freedom Movement and sparking escalating tit-for-tat protests and violence.
Winter goes through the motions covering the stories for the Yukon Sun, but mostly worries about rebuilding his relationship with his daughter Taiya and recovering from his Oxy and booze addictions.
Until Taiya joins the Greens, forcing Winter to drop the journalistic detachment and save his daughter. But first, he has to figure out, from whom?
'Ripping action on and off the Whitehorse trails! The dark humour glitters like black ice.' Paul Christensen

Clearly Mr Halliday knows his way around the Yukon, from an urban, an outdoor and a political-economic perspective. A ripping yarn with what I suspect is more than a few veiled references/allusions to real life local characters. A good read if you are heading up that way, if not, a good reason to go!

Intimately detailed settings and inspired characters make for a believable mystery and near future.

Exciting, funny, and frighteningly realistic, this is a great book for anyone looking for a quick and entertaining read on a cold winter's night. A love letter to the Yukon.

Smart, funny, and very entertaining. The perfect book for a visit to the Yukon, or perhaps to inspire a trip to the Yukon!
