Vollmann. It is intended to be the sixth book in a planned seven-book cycle entitled A Book of North American Landscapes. As of 2015, however, only five of the seven have been published, The Rifles being the third to reach print. Unlike the other books in this series so far, The Rifles is not wholly a historical novel, as it primarily takes place in the early 1990s, although the storyline depicting the trials and challenges of modern Inuit life is tied to the ill-fated exploration of the Arctic region by Sir John Franklin in the mid-19th century. The novel also discusses the 1955 forced migration of Inuit from Inukjuak, Quebec to Resolute, Nunavut. ReferencesExternal links
