FABLES OF THE RECONSTRUCTION!
The short stories of Northern Quartet update readers on the post-apocalyptic development of the four cities:

Vancouver languishes in a druggy stupor, free of enemies while enjoying temperate weather and abundant natural resources. Its city council fosters hostility toward productive Toronto's mayor.

Calgary is steeped in economic activity, violence and corruption, while heavily policed. Fuel-enriched Alberta teems with opportunists within and beyond provincial borders.

Toronto deals with rebels both human and non-human, natural and supernatural, as its layers of security forces coordinate their efforts.

Montreal's brutal foreign leadership quietly thrives. Will this affiliation of city states prosper or decay?

Now's the time to find out! Northern Quartet is a hit with readers!

An Amazon Customer reports, "John Keillor is a credit to Canadian Fiction writers and has pleasantly surprised me with every turn of the page. Looking forward to reading more of his work."

One Goodreads reviewer writes, "this was a strong fourth book in the shattered north series, it had everything that I enjoyed from the previous three books. The characters were what I was looking for and worked with everything. John Keillor wrote this perfectly and I'm glad I got to read this." Another says, "This series is so full of action and suspense that I'm going to have to read it again to see what I might have missed the first time. I would definitely recommend both of these book series by this author."

A Bookbub writer reports, "it had everything that I enjoyed from the previous three books. The characters were what I was looking for and worked with everything."

Inspired by the format of Stephen King's Different Seasons, this collection is unified by lore from the Shattered North series. It also functions as a prequel to the McKinley Chronicles.
