The Insatiable Maw
Jake McCool, the injured hard-rock miner introduced in The Raids (Vol. 1), returns to work for INCO, but now at its nearby Copper Cliff smelter complex. In no time, he finds himself embroiled in a vicious fight over health and safety. Particularly alarming are the extreme levels of sulphur dioxide that poison the air in the smelter but also in the entire surrounding area, thus creating Sudbury's infamous "lunar landscape."
The fight takes on new dimensions when free-lance reporter Foley Gilpin, who had worked for the Mine Mill union in The Raids, sparks attention at The Globe & Mail. At the same time local parliamentarian Harry Wardell smells high-level collusion between Inco and the government at Queen's Park in Toronto.
Through the lives of Jake and his girlfriend Jo Ann Winters, their roommate Foley Gilpin, and a new cast of characters, Mick Lowe chronicles an entire community's eco-defiance.

Mick Lowe
Mick Lowe (1947–2021) était un **journaliste, écrivain et chroniqueur** canadien, connu pour son engagement en faveur des causes ouvrières et son exploration des tensions sociales. Né aux États-Unis, il s’installe au Canada en 1970 pour échapper à la conscription et se consacre à la couverture des luttes syndicales à Sudbury, où il vit à partir de 1974. Son œuvre, marquée par un style **mêlant enquête et fiction**, s’inspire souvent de l’histoire industrielle et politique du Canada. *The Raids*, premier volet de sa trilogie *Nickel Range*, témoigne de son attachement à raconter les combats des travailleurs et les zones d’ombre de la Guerre froide.
