If Winter Comes

About the Book

Choosing to commute through the blizzard rather than sleep on the First-Aid Room cot, Larry Hanson heads for home. Yet a blizzard in June blows ridiculously on and on. Soon roads rural and urban become impassable and across the street is a world away. So is it Mother Nature's fault that all heat, light and electric power is cut suddenly off in a nation-wide shut-down ofthe power stations? And why - when citizens go by snowmobile to buy Kerosene - are armed Provincial Police threatening, under the State of Emergency, to shoot as looters all those approaching the hardware store?
