Johnson, Harold R
Entry updated 17 March 2025. Tagged: Author.
(1957-2022) Canadian lawyer and author, member of the Montreal Lake Cree Nation, active from around 2000; some of his several novels are of sf interest. In The Cast Stone (2011), a retired academic is forced in the Near Future to confront the effects of the recent American Invasion of Canada, and the imposition of a military regime upon Canadians; his experiences as a First Nations Canadian are now reflected in wider applications of Imperial enforcement. Corvus (2015) is set in a Near-Future Canada which, though the land has been devastated by Climate Change, hierarchies persist, with high-Technology enablements restricted to the haves of the world. The Björken Sagas (2021) is fantasy. [JC]
