Nunavut invades my reading material...

[Wenchie]

So, I'm reading a post apocalyptic type book called Driven by Eve Kenin. Side of books says that it's a futuristic romance, but it's more intelligent than that. ^_^

Anyway, the story is set in the harsh Northern Waste, where goods are only made available via truckers and the one highway (the Intercontinental Worldwide) that can be safely traveled from town to desolate town in the Northern Waste.

In the most northern stretches, the highway wends its way through the Alberta Corridor, north to Dorje Station... then along the Nunavut passover. :eek::cry::jawdrop::headdesk:

At least we know that they'll still be able to get their hats, pants and pink camo in the future! :roll::rotflmao:

Highlighted for attention:

We already have the Alberta Corridor. It's called Highway 2 from Calgary to Edmonton.

Also, good on the author for using real place names in his book! He (she?) has my respect.

Eve Kenin is a she. And good to know that the Alberta Corridor is real too... I also like it when authors use real places. Eve is Canadian... lives in Thornhill, ON.

then along the Nunavut passover.

I found the choice of words very interesting.

Passover. It doesn't sound like they're planning to actually STOP in Nunavut, does it? Just bypass them completely.......

Then I'd like to point you towards Giles Blunt, who writes murder mysteries that take place in Ontario. Not just place names, but actual places, and he uses the RCMP, OPP, and CSIS in his books as well.
