The Russian Intrusion is a story of Soviet and Russian espionage in Canada over many years in the country's recent history. Infiltrations of the mainstream media, of the native movement, and of government are woven around real events that did not happen as described in the novel, but could have with disastrous consequences for the country and for the United States. It is a tale of subversion in the affairs of a country, of the impacts of such, and of individuals caught up in it - their motives, their loyalties, their fears and their troubles.
