Humanity's first big push to outer space. It's been over twenty years since the SolRescue sunshield saved the world from runaway climate change. Or at least bought the world a little time. But in this new world, where the people have started to win back power from the old elites, and where the first uncertain steps are being taken to expand offplanet, there are alliances at work to reverse all of the progress that has been made. When Guiana Space Centre Flight Director Nicolas Clouatre is framed for the destruction of the European Space Agency's first extra-orbital habitat, he realizes that there's little he can do to clear his name.

The Canadian Annual Review of Politics and Public Affairs is an acclaimed series that offers informed commentary on important national events and considers their significance in local and international contexts. The 2009 instalment of the series covers the continuation of 2008’s economic and political crises from the end of Parliament’s first prorogation at the beginning of the year to the start of its unprecedented second prorogation at the end, including the federal Economic Action Plan and bailouts for the automotive and banking sectors. Other topics include the investigation of the abuse of detainees in Afghanistan and reactions across Canada to the threat of H1N1 swine flu. The volume also contains full coverage of federal, provincial, First Nations, and municipal affairs, including British Columbia’s general election.
They’re not quite zombies. They’re not quite human. And they’re definitely not how Seffy Schmidt wants to spend her Tuesday. Persephone has always lived in the shadow of her practically-flawless stepsister Iris, even more so after accidentally shooting Miss Perfect in the chest during a misguided and wine-cooler-soaked turkey hunt. Now the cutting-edge treatment that saved her stepsister’s life -- while somehow making her even more disgustingly amazing -- might be responsible for an outbreak that’s turning the entire population of the Greater Fargo-Moorhead Area into oddly-human zombies. Armed with nothing more than her wits, a shovel, and memories of her past glory in the realm of high school science fairs, Seffy realizes that she might hold the key to saving her family, her hometown, and maybe even the world.

History Is Written By The Last One Standing For Cassandra Jeanbaptiste, her father's legacy is hard to pin down. A hero? A monster? A mix of both? Having come north to McCartney Lake, where it all began, to preside over a controversial memorial commission, Cassy begins to see just how complicated the story is.

Now, as a blizzard cuts off the delegation and brings the whole Confederation to the brink of collapse, old enemies return for a chance to rewrite the story of Robert Jeanbaptiste. And changing the past seems to mean erasing the people who remember what happened.
