Chapter 11: The Stalag of the Soul
Topher Lydon commented on Topher Lydon's story chapter in Chapter 11: The Stalag of the Soul
It's easy for a story like this to descend into misery. I wanted to combat that with a Great Escape/ POW camp fighting spirit to show the resistance of the boys pulling together. Ending on a note of hope shows that the boys are not helpless. They can fight back, and do. The Wireless is a Lie! -

Cameron vs Elias, Elias has learned that his men are loyal to each other and they won't be bought with empty promises. The more Cameron promises, the more the Pact distrusts it. Little Pike is not going to let anything happen to Thomas. -
Chapter 1: The Mandate
Topher Lydon commented on Topher Lydon's story chapter in Chapter 1: The Mandate
Again, historically Dion and Ignatieff ran the Liberal Party off of a cliff during 2008. With many stating that Ignatieff did it on purpose to sink Dion just to secure the leadership of the party. What he did after in 2011 was... well... next book is 2011. -

LVII. The new Appell was a ritual of psychological vivisection. Dr. Cameron stood on the black stone dais at 5:30 AM, not with Vane’s thunderous silence, but with the poised stillness of a lab technician. The mist off the sea curled around his polished shoes. In one hand, a clipboard; in the other, a silver stopwatch that caught the first grey light like a cold, judging eye. A junior master, Greeley, stood beside him, holding a ledger like an altar boy with a missal. “West Wing

Chapter 1: The Mandate
Topher Lydon commented on Topher Lydon's story chapter in Chapter 1: The Mandate
It's amazing what you can buy your way out of. Damaging, sure, but it's an empty allegation made by a dead woman. And a few receipts. The evidence was thin at best, the jurisdictional complications made it impossible for him to be tried. Politicians, infamously, have survived far worse. He no longer has the London Firm behind him. Which is a good note, however. -

Prologue: Operation Zerkalo
Topher Lydon commented on Topher Lydon's story chapter in Prologue: Operation Zerkalo
This is based off of actual capabilities, confirmed attacks, and intricate Cyber warfare used at that point and later. I consolidated a ten year campaign of Cyber Warfare attributed to the Russian State down into one operation. But this is the same apparatus that attacked the Brexit Campaign, the US Elections, and disrupted SWIFT finance for a decade exacerbating the Financial Crisis that affects us all. This same strategy was employed against Georgia during the short War where Russia crushed Georgian Resistance. -

Доброе утро -
The corridors of the Grand Kremlin Palace were not designed for the comfort of men. They were designed, with deliberate and overwhelming architectural malice, to remind those who walked them of their own profound insignificance. The towering ceilings, gilded with centuries-old stucco, arched high above walls paneled in dark, unforgiving malachite and polished oak. The floors, expanses of immaculate, echoing marble, seemed to absorb the warmth of human life, leaving only the biting, pervasive chi

The election is a massacre. The Liberal Party is in ruins. And Julian Dufresne—a sociopathic academic backed by dark money—is poised to seize the ashes. Shadow Minister Will Carter survived the bloodbath, but surviving isn't enough. As his husband Andrew races to disarm a Russian cyber-weapon in the shadows of Hong Kong, Will must play the longest game of his career—surviving Dufresne's rise, holding his party together, and protecting the family he's built. From the campaign trail to the backrooms of Hong Kong, the Carters are about to discover that the real war is only beginning.

The ambient temperature inside the master bedroom of 308 Manor Avenue was aggressively, unapologetically freezing. Outside the thick, double-paned frosted windows of the Tudor Revival home, the Ottawa night was locked in the bitter, creeping chill of early September. The leaves on the ancient oaks lining the affluent streets of Rockcliffe Park were only just beginning to turn, but the wind howling off the Ottawa River carried the distinct, biting promise of a brutal winter to come. Inside,

Chapter 10: The Observer Effect
Topher Lydon commented on Topher Lydon's story chapter in Chapter 10: The Observer Effect
This is the cold truth of their lie. They believe, in their moral superiority, that they are helping the sick. It is insidious, dismissing it as a pathology. Something that can be medicated away. The torture has evolved. I have read of the horrific experimentation going on in Asylums across the western world. As the war faded into memory and the needs of the war dwindled, the old prejudices slunk back in, sharper and cloaked in morality. -

XLIX. The new regime didn't arrive with a shout or a blow. It arrived with a clipboard, a soft American accent, and a gaze that felt like being slowly dissected under a clinical light. Dr. Victor Cameron was thirty, wore rimless spectacles that made his pale eyes look like specimens preserved in glass, and moved with the silent, unnerving patience of a biologist studying an ant colony. He stood beside Vane on the parade ground beneath a sky the colour of tarnished pewter. Vane was a

Well they got there in the end. At least Will has some time to figure out baby logistics... and Peter has time to figure out how he's going to go all Zero Dark Thirty and extract his Wesley from Iraq... Tactical Flamingos! -
The morning of Tuesday, November 29, 2005, broke over the city of Toronto with a brittle, unforgiving cold. Outside the frosted windows of the Church-Wellesley Village townhouse, the sky was a pale, bruised shade of indigo, the weak winter sun struggling to penetrate the thick canopy of grey clouds rolling off Lake Ontario. Inside the master bedroom, the atmosphere was entirely insulated from the freezing temperatures. It was warm, quiet, and profoundly, beautifully still. Andrew Carte

Chapter Five: The Warm Thing Kamyk sat in the shadows, Shem's bar mace across his knees. The weight was wrong—too heavy, too big, made for a taller man's hands. The X-shaped head caught the firelight from the central pit, glinting green and red and gold. But it was Shemmy's. J’ck had given it to him. His clan had trusted him. The green handprints on his chest itched. They were dry now, flaking, but he could still feel J'ck's palm pressing down. Marking him. Claiming him. The
