A vigilante group calling themselves the 9th Divinity, declares to the world that they will stop Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, dismantle Russia's nuclear arsenal and do the same with North Korea's Kim Jong Un. Global powers, particularly the U.S.A., panic as the declaration goes viral, seeing it as a provocation that could tip the scales toward nuclear war. Keeno McCole, and his Anti-Terrorism-Unit, a special unit of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, are called into play when it is discovered that the 9th Divinity is apparently operating from within Canada. The investigation takes Keeno and his crime-fighting partner, Jake Williams, along with the rest of the team, on a chase that leads them into the heart of the war zone in Ukraine, where Keeno witnesses the devastation and death-toll caused by Putin and his kill-squads. The 9th Divinity reveals to Keeno just how, using advanced drone technology and artificial intelligence - they intend to accomplish their claims to bring about peace. Keeno is faced with a new challenge; is the 9th Divinity the real enemy he should be chasing down and stopping? And if they can stop the madman, Putin, why is he trying to stop them? Principles vs loyalty - honor vs duty - a new war erupts inside him? These are the questions that plague him as he faces the carnage in Ukraine and the decision he makes will send him on a mission of epic proportions.

"5 stars!
Terrifyingly well written and so realistic!
From a master of suspense, an activist for human rights and against nuclear weapons, comes a disturbingly believable story of people who are ready to risk their lives -- and AI is of a great help for it -- to save the humankind from governing sociopaths and criminals. Though fiction, it is not. Ranked as a thriller, the book gives an impression of nowadays chronicles. Sweeping across the world - Canada, Russia, United States, North Korea, and South Korea, it's a rollercoaster of danger and persistence of some people, as well as a self-sacrifice for the good cause at the time when the world is balancing on the edge of apocalypse. Some of Laplaine's characters act the way millions of people would approve of.
Even more, it may make some readers do some soul searching. In the words of the author, "When that reality hits home, when it gets personal, when people realize that their pathetic apathy and pathetic complacency comes with a heavy price, that their children and grandchildren are going to irrevocably face an apocalyptic scene... " Isn't it a timely appeal? I would highly recommend this book to everyone who thinks about the future."

5 stars
A complex thriller and as up to date as today's headlines
This is a remarkable exploration into the 'what if' of global power structures. Laplaine takes a deep dive into the complexities of the mind, and how it relates to the concept of totalitarian regimes. It's a brutal examination of a possible future if the world doesn't wake up to the dangers posed by the likes of North Korea and Russia.
