“Shaken Allegiances,” a novel by Michel Bruneau, professor of civil, structural and environmental engineering, has received a Grand Prize for Fiction in the Next Generation Indie Book Awards, which has been dubbed the “Sundance” of the book-publishing world. The book details the escapades of an eclectic cast of characters in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake on Montréal Island a week before a referendum on Québec’s secession from Canada. The awards jury described the book as “a highly original ‘what if’ story…‘Shaken Allegiances’ breaks the mold of disaster stories and offers a humorous take on the imaginative ability of rampant egos to create multifaceted existential messes when cooler heads should prevail.”
