Spies of Nyscandia

Synopsis

When Leif Erickson spread the word in the year 1000, Scandinavians left their cold countries in droves to occupy the huge and far more temperate north continent in the new world. By 1900 the nation of Nyscandia (New Scandia) had 200 million largely secular citizens. But the Catholic Church, which dominated Europe as well as the giant New World nations of Aztecland and Incaland, wanted this nation of apostates forcibly converted. For twenty years Church leaders sent spies into Nyscandia, setting up a huge network ready to cripple the country with acts of sabotage when open war broke out.Johann Kirkwood and his partner Axel Haraldson, agents in the anti-terrorist agency Ansvar, have been rooting out deeply concealed spies in Nyscandia for a decade. But then the long-planned open war breaks out, and all Ansvar agents find themselves in a desperate race to identify the terrorists before they can sabotage vital production facilities and seriously cripple the country.
