Kuwait City, 1991. The city lies largely in ruin, a primeval, derelict place, where civilization nearly ceased to exist. In the aftermath of Operation Desert Storm, bomb disposal teams are tasked to clear the thousands of unexploded munitions scattered throughout Kuwait City. U.S. Army Captain Brick Revloc is a bomb disposal officer in charge of coordinating Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) operations. He's a savvy, scrappy little guy whose mouth lands him in as much trouble as the exotic places to which he travels. The threatening news that a weapon of mass destruction may be planted somewhere in the city by stay-behind Iraqi forces finds Brick Revloc in a race against the clock to locate and neutralize an improvised nuclear device that could contaminate the entire Persian Gulf region. Later, suffering disillusionment from his experience and failure to get promoted, Revloc leaves the Army and joins an agency whose mission is to investigate former military bases for the presence of unexploded bombs. He's sent to Adak, a small, inhospitable island in the Aleutian chain. During World War II, it was the scene of fierce fighting between U.S. troops and Japanese forces. Now, North Korean special operations troops have infiltrated the island. Experiencing turmoil brought on by food shortages and a severely depressed economy, North Korea discovers that in World War II, containers of Lewisite, a type of mustard gas, were abandoned by the U.S. military on Adak Island. The North Koreans contrive an elaborate scheme to recover the toxic chemical and use it to their advantage. Their goal is to reunite the Korean peninsula by provoking a military response between the United States and China. By releasing the liquid blister agent onto the shores of main land China, they hope to create a chaotic situation where Taiwan is blamed. Their plan relies on the U.S. responding to an attack on Taiwan by China. In an inhospitable environment described as "the birthplace of the winds," two small groups of men battle for survival: the Americans attempting to prevent the North Koreans from getting away with their nefarious scheme, and the Koreans tracking down the only ones who can thwart their plan. There can be only one winner--

Kenneth Burke on Shakespeare

Kenneth Burke on Shakespeare

By: Kenneth Burke

This volume gathers and annotates all of the Shakespeare criticism, including previously unpublished notes and lectures, by the maverick American intellectual Kenneth Burke (1897–1993). Burke’s interpretations of Shakespeare have had an impressive influence on important lines of contemporary scholarship; playwrights and directors have been stirred by his dramaturgical investigations; and many readers outside academia have enjoyed his ingenious dissections of what makes a play function. Burke’s intellectual project continually engaged with Shakespeare’s works, and Burke’s writings on Shakespeare, in turn, have had an immense impact on generations of readers. Carefully edited and annotated, with helpful cross-references, Burke’s fascinating interpretations of Shakespeare remain challenging, provocative, and accessible. Read together, these pieces form an evolving argument about the nature of Shakespeare’s plays and poems. Included are thirteen analyses of individual plays and poems, an introductory lecture explaining his approach to reading Shakespeare, and a substantial appendix of hundreds of Burke’s other references to Shakespeare. Scott L. Newstok also provides a historical introduction and an account of Burke’s legacy. Burke’s enduring familiarity with Shakespeare likely helped shape his own theory of dramatism, an ambitious elaboration of the teatrum mundi conceit. Burke is renowned for his landmark 1951 essay on Othello, which wrestles with concerns still relevant to scholars more than a half century later; his ingenious ventriloquism of Mark Antony’s address over Caesar’s body has likewise found a number of appreciative readers, as have (albeit less frequently) his many other essays on the playwright. Burke’s first and final pieces of literary criticism both examine Shakespearean plays, thereby bookending an impressive, career-long contribution to the field of Shakespeare studies. Among the many major Shakespearean critics who have gratefully acknowledged Burke’s influence are Paul Alpers, Harold Bloom, Stanley Cavell, René Girard, Stephen Greenblatt, and Patricia Parker.

Letters from Kenneth Burke to William H. Rueckert, 1959-1987

By: Kenneth Burke

These letters show the development of Burke’s thought in the last thirty or so years of his life, when he remained remarkably productive not only as a correspondent but as a critic and traveling scholar. Rueckert became for Burke both student and “co-conspirator,” with Burke himself playing the roles of teacher, mentor, father, and peer. While Burke corresponded for many years with Malcolm Cowley, William Carlos Williams, Hugh Duncan, and others, with Rueckert, we see him writing to someone who may have understood and appreciated his work more than anyone.

The Fading Smile

By: Mike Burke

When a national tragedy and a scientific breakthrough provoke a nation to abandon long held traditions, it is clear that something has departed from everyday life, but what exactly is missing? 'The Fading Smile' is a political thriller which explores an alternative future centred around the fear of terrorism, rampant consumerism and ideological suppression through the experiences of a journalist, a mother and an adrenalin junkie. What secrets do multinational corporations want to hide from an unsuspecting public? Why are hitmen trying to silence those who seek alternative perspectives on the world around and what does an art-loving spymaster have to do with the conspiracy he is seeking to expose? Three separate seekers after the truth set off on their own quests to find answers to what has taken place only to encounter sinister threats and an official conspiracy. In the midst of it all, stands an enigmatic young lady who appears to hold the key to discovering what has been lost, but who is she working for and what is behind an intriguing offer to make peace with old enemies?
