Tense, complex and fast-moving, Manifest Destiny: Fire on the Water
is the story of a desperate battle to save a nation. When a
cataclysmic Middle East nuclear war deprives the world of a third
of its easily-accessible oil, prices pass $400 a barrel as a
record-cold winter bears down on the Northern Hemisphere. US
President Franklin Zimmer, desperate to avoid civilian panic and
economic collapse, orders the invasion of Canada to secure the rich
Northern Alberta oil sands for America's exclusive use. Expecting a
quick and easy victory over its northern neighbor's
thinly-stretched military, the United States and much of the rest
of the world are surprised as tenacious and overmatched Canadian
air and naval forces-led by an aging submarine with a troubled
past-take a toll on the invading US military. In Asia and Europe,
countries choose sides, with the US flexing its economic muscle and
Canada calling in debts from a century of international
peacekeeping and foreign aid. The fate of two nations hangs in the
balance as the world holds its breath.
