Showcasing the best of the many brilliant, full-colour, portrait-style celebrity caricatures created by caricaturist Don Pinsent, of Caricatures by Don.
From Venice to Vietnam, from the Welsh coast to Cairo, Don Meredith has traveled in the wake of twentieth-century writers, using their novels and poems as guides, as another wayfarer might turn to Fodor's or the Guide Bleu. He has gone in search of the back streets, basilicas, cafes, piazzas, and countrysides that figured so powerfully in the works of authors who are especially attuned to a sense of place. Part travelogue, part literary study, Varieties of Darkness is Meredith's account of his exploration of Michael Ondaatje's fascinating literary masterpiece The English Patient. Meredith mines the places, the real-life counterparts of the characters, and the curious creative mind of Ondaatje. Varieties of Darkness offers fresh insights into the novel and Ondaatje's prodigious use of scholarly detail.

STONY MAN Acting under orders of the President, the members of the Stony Man team are unsung heroes that only a handful of people know exist. Whether it's taking down terrorists or halting the shipment of illegal weapons, the covert team doesn't stop until its mission is over. Elite military warriors, they have only one goal: fight terror anywhere and anytime. BRINK OF MADNESS When Phoenix Force raids a North Korea drug ship, interdicting the latest in the rogue nation's terrorist schemes, it finds more than Stony Man Farm's personnel bargained for. The floating drug lab bears a cargo much deadlier than heroin: ICBM parts. The missile parts are traceable to an American manufacturer and would, coupled with warheads, give North Korea the ability to hit an alarming number of other countries, to say nothing of eradicating South Korea's capital.
Dead in the Water Not all publicity is good publicity. Especially when the fake hijacking of the world's first self-sustaining vessel turns into the real deal. With the ship and its cargo being auctioned off to terrorists, Mack Bolan must rescue the hostages and destroy the vessel before it falls into even more dangerous hands. Joining Somali pirates on a raid gets Bolan on board, but getting off alive won't be so easy. Mercenaries and criminal foot soldiers have taken over, transforming the vessel into a minefield. Bolan will need to act quickly to take control, and with the extraction window closing, the Executioner is ready to turn this ship into the Titanic.
Examining the meaning and cultural significance behind the myths of various cultures, this book discusses Jason's quest for the Golden Fleece, Odysseus and his efforts to reach his homeland, the story of Aeneas, and the search for the Holy Grail.
