Set in the first half of the twentieth century, but reaching back to Bavaria in the late nineteenth century, The…
Stone Carvers weaves together the story of ordinary lives marked by obsession and transformed by art. At the centre of a large cast of characters is Klara Becker, the granddaughter of a master carver, a seamstress haunted by a love affair cut short by the First World War, and by the frequent disappearances of her brother Tilman, afflicted since childhood with wanderlust. From Ontario, they are swept into a colossal venture in Europe years later, as Toronto sculptor Walter Allward's ambitious plans begin to take shape for a war memorial at Vimy, France. Spanning three decades, and moving from a German-settled village in Ontario to Europe after the Great War, The Stone Carvers follows the paths of immigrants, labourers, and dreamers. Vivid, dark, redemptive, this is novel of great beauty and power.

This volume combines three of Richard Rohmer’s best-selling novels in one book. Ultimatum, Exxoneration, and Periscope Red are all fast-paced,…
incisive novels in which Rohmer makes fiction read like fact. They are chilling visions of a world of military conflict, legal and political entanglements, and Canada’s role in domestic and international spheres. The issues inside are just as important to Canada today as they were when the books were written. In all of these works, Rohmer demonstrates his insider’s knowledge of the energy industry and the military, and his master storyteller’s ability to bring it alive.
