Entry updated 14 April 2025. Tagged: Author.
(1928- ) Canadian author whose non-sf books are usually bylined R J Childerhose. Of sf interest is The Man Who Wanted to Save Canada: A Prophetic Novel (1975), which plunges a protagonist from Western Canada into Near Future problems with Québécois secessionists and even more complicated intrigues in Washington, District of Columbia. His attempts to avoid something like an Invasion of Canada, which is effected without the use of arms, are unsuccessful, and Canada becomes a neoliberal Dystopia. [JC]
