Tailings of Warren Peace is a social justice thriller and story that explores love, death, corporate mining criminals and the solidarity community that struggles to make sense of it all. 

 

"Tailings of Warren Peace manages to wind disparate threads into a ripping yarn, wound around personal stories …  While the characters and the situations may be fictional, they bring to light truths too often kept hidden, telling of the depth of disruption and corruption engendered by mining companies' insatiable need to profit from the Earth's riches and the workers who extract them … A great read.”​ 

- Jamie Kneen, MiningWatch Canada

 

 “Stephen Law has taken a genre where few have recently shone and crafted a story that will have you shirking whatever you said you'd be doing. You'll miss appointments for this book. The house will go dirty(er). The dogs will howl for dinner. It's that good.” 

-          Miles Howe, Halifax Media Coop:  <http://halifax.mediacoop.ca/blog/miles-howe/16816> http://halifax.mediacoop.ca/blog/miles-howe/16816

 

“Tailings of Warren Peace is a gripping tale that eerily reflects a disturbing reality in global politics. It takes the reader on a scintillating and mysterious journey that twists and turns from Canada to Guatemala, war to peace, and loss to love. This book is a celebration of the human spirit. “ 

-          Garry Leech, author of Beyond Bogota

"It’s often said that people should write about what they know. And what Stephen Law knows is the issue of foreign corporations — including Canadian businesses — conducting mining operations in other countries.Tailings of Warren Peace may be a title with a play on words, but the novel itself is serious."
