The Cold Edge of Heaven is a historical fictional adventure set in the Canadian High Arctic in the 1920's and based on Canada's determination to assert sovereignty over the vast area. In 1924, three constables, along with three Inuit guides and two small children were dropped on the windy gravel beach called Dundas Harbor. No amount of training could prepare them for years of hell frozen over, ice-locked isolation and unimagined physical challenges. Remarkably, the mental and emotional strains became even greater challenges. Mountie Will Grant is the only survivor. His comrades both die violently and mysteriously. Will realizes that his values and beliefs have changed in ways he couldn't have imagined. Alone and further crushed by the inexplicable deaths of his comrades, Will confronts his cold, dark, isolated frozen hell. With his spiritual beliefs conflicted and diminishing, he fights for months on end to maintain his sanity. Overriding his depression, isolation and constant danger, is the nagging question: does anyone know where he is? Did the Captain who dropped them here even make it back south or is the Dundas Devon Detachment just another lost Arctic Expedition?
