Trident Legion: To Conserve and Protect

by Andrew Lafleche

What happens when saving the world means breaking it first? Julian never expected to become part of a war.

Recruited into an underground activist network operating in the remote Faroe Islands, he joins a team determined to expose one of the world’s most controversial and brutal traditions. Cameras ready.

Strategy set. Morality… uncertain. But the deeper Julian goes, the more the lines blur. Between conservation and propaganda. Between justice and vengeance.

Between who they are—and what they’re becoming. As tensions escalate and the mission spirals, one truth becomes You don’t fight monsters without risking becoming one.

Perfect for fans of The Monkey Wrench Gang and Earth Warrior, Trident Legion is a gripping eco-thriller that dives headfirst into activism, ideology, and the dangerous cost of conviction.

About the author

Andrew Lafleche is a Canadian actor, poet, and novelist known for his unflinching, transgressive style and psychologically charged storytelling. A professional member of the Writers’ Union of Canada, the Canadian Authors Association, and the League of Canadian Poets, Lafleche is the author of more than a dozen books spanning literary fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. His work has appeared in over 100 literary journals across North America and internationally, and he is the recipient of the John Newlove Poetry Award, among other national honours.

Born in St. Catharines, Ontario, Lafleche served as an infantry soldier with the 3rd Battalion of the Royal Canadian Regiment, including deployment during the Afghanistan War. His military service—marked by discipline, leadership, and operational experience in high-risk environments—continues to inform the emotional intensity and realism of his writing.

Following his service, he earned a Master of Arts in Creative and Critical Writing from the University of Gloucestershire and completed formal training in creative writing and business administration. His career extends beyond literature: he has worked as a firefighter, contributed to emergency response operations, and served on literary selection committees, bringing a rare combination of lived experience and editorial insight to his work.

Lafleche’s writing explores masculinity, addiction, faith, violence, and redemption—often inhabiting the space between destruction and transformation. His novel Trident Legion and multiple poetry collections have established him as a distinctive voice in contemporary Canadian literature.

He lives in Ontario, Canada, where he continues to write, publish, and explore the outer edges of human experience.
