Arctic Smoke
by Randy Nikkel SchroederOn the eve of his thirtieth birthday, aging punk Lor Kowalski is unsure of his sanity. He is haunted by hallucinogens and harbingers, strung out on broken stories that he cannot piece together into a lucid whole. Forced to join his old band from a life he’d rather forget, he is dragged north under the spell of a mysterious ad for an Arctic festival tour. As the band members unspool across the surreal snowscapes and frozen wastelands, rogue CSIS agents are hot on their increasingly iced-over heels. But what are ageing punks to rogue agents? Subversive and irredeemable, spectres from a past that must be erased with extreme prejudice. Randy Nikkel Schroeder combines coked-up magic realism with wound-up cyberpunk style.Praise for Arctic Smoke:"A wintry and psychedelic elegy to that special Albertan brand of despair. An absurdist punk-rock adventure through counter-counterculture’s most otherworldly spaces. Schroeder writes with urgency and grace, vividly describing a zombie capitalist wasteland where the strange becomes familiar and the familiar strange. Read this book."~ Mike Thorn, author of Darkest Hours"Unlike anything else out there. Nouns push against verbs in ways we've never seen."~ Mike Resnick, Hugo Award-winning author of Kirinyaga and Santiago"Arctic Smoke is a punk rock fever dream. Like Bruce McDonald channelling Anna Kavan, Schroeder’s prose hotwires your brain and takes you on a surreal joyride through arcane Canadiana."~ Greg Rhyno, author of To Me You Seem Giant
Arctic Storm Rising: A Novel (Nick Flynn #1)
by Dale BrownFirst in a new series from New York Times bestselling author Dale Brown, featuring U.S. Air Force intelligence officer Nick Flynn on the hunt for Russian commandos in the mountains of Alaska.After a CIA covert mission goes badly awry, U.S. Air Force intelligence officer Nicholas Flynn is exiled to guard a remote radar post along Alaska’s Arctic frontier. This dead-end assignment is designed to put his career permanently on ice, but Flynn’s not the type to fade quietly into obscurity... As winter storms pound Alaska and northern Canada, Russian aircraft begin penetrating deep into friendly airspace. Are these rehearsals for a possible first strike, using Russia’s new long-range stealth cruise missiles? Or is some other motive driving the Kremlin to take ever-increasing risks along the hostile Arctic frontier separating two of the world’s great powers? When an American F-22 collides with one of the Russian interlopers, things go south fast—in seconds, missiles are fired. There are no survivors. Despite horrific weather, Flynn and his security team are ordered to parachute into the area in a desperate bid to reach the crash sites ahead of the Russians. It’s now obvious that the Pentagon and CIA are withholding vital information, but Flynn and his men have no choice but to make the dangerous jump. Soon they’re caught in a deadly game of hide-and-seek with Spetsnaz commandos operating covertly on American soil. It seems that the F-22s and their Russian counterparts aren’t the first aircraft to have gone missing in these desolate mountains. The Kremlin is hunting for the first prototype of its new stealth bomber—which vanished on what was supposed to be a test flight…while loaded with nuclear-armed stealth cruise missiles. As Russia and the U.S. square off on the brink of all-out-war, it’s up to Nick to find the missing bomber…and prevent a potential nuclear holocaust.
Arctic Summer
by Damon GalgutThis &“beautifully written and utterly compelling&” novel by the acclaimed South African author traces E. M. Forester&’s journey of self-discovery (The Times, London). The year is 1912, and the SS Birmingham is approaching India. On board is Edward Morgan Forster, a reserved man taunted by writer&’s block, attempting to come to terms with his art and his homosexuality. During his travels, the novelist confronts his fraught childhood and falls in unrequited love with his closest friend. He also finds himself surprisingly freed to explore his &“minorite&” desires as secretary to a most unusual Maharajah. Slowly, the strands of a story begin to gather in Forster&’s mind: a sense of impending menace, lust in close confines, under a hot, empty sky. But it will be another twelve years and a second stay in India before the publication of his finest work, A Passage to India. Shifting across the landscapes of India, Egypt, and England, Forster&’s life is informed by his relationships—from the Egyptian tram conductor Mohammed el-Adl, to the Greek poet and literary titan C. P. Cavafy. Damon Galgut&’s reimagining of Forster&’s life is a clear and sympathetic psychological probing of one of Britain&’s finest novelists. &“Galgut inhabits [Forster] with such sympathetic completeness, and in prose of such modest excellence that he starts to breathe on the page.&” —Financial Times
Arctic Summer
by Damon GalgutThis masterpiece novel -- by the internationally acclaimed, young South African writer Damon Galgut--about E.M. Forster, his life, struggles with homosexuality, and the writing of his universally loved novel A Passage to India will call to mind the international success of Colm Toibin's The Master. For readers of Colm Toibin, Ian McEwan, and J.M. Coetzee. In 1912, the SS Birmingham approaches India. On board is Morgan Forster, novelist and man of letters, who is embarking on a journey of discovery. As Morgan stands on deck, the promise of a strange new future begins to take shape before his eyes. The seeds of a story start to gather at the corner of his mind: a sense of impending menace, lust in close confines, under a hot, empty sky. It will be another twelve years, and a second, and much longer time spent in India, before A Passage to India, E.M. Forster's most beloved work of literature, is completed. During these years, Morgan will come to a recognition of his homosexuality and of the infinite subtleties and complexities of human nature. Arctic Summer is an intimate portrait of the man who became one of Britain's finest novelists, his struggle to find a way of living and being, and a stunningly vivid evocation of the mysterious alchemy of the creative process. Galgut animates the literary times in which Forster lived with encounters with some of the writers of the day, including Virginia and Leonard Woolf and D.H. Lawrence. Galgut also brilliantly and poignantly describes Forster's two closest relationships, enduring and sadly unfulfilled. Arctic Summer is a literary masterpiece, by one of the finest writers of his generation.

Arctic Wings
by L. Ron HubbardSpring has come to White Bear Landing--and so has the law, in the firm hands of Royal Mounted policeman and pilot Bob Dixon. Dixon's as gruff, tough and good-looking as Russell Crowe, and in this outpost halfway between the arctic mines and civilization, he's known for taking the law to extremes.More than once Dixon has meted out his own brand of rough justice with hard fists and hot lead, but now the tables have turned. The past has come back to haunt him, he's been set up as a murder suspect, and a rogue's gallery of enemies are lining up to settle old scores . . .Out on the icy tundra, on the edge of the world, revenge can be cold--and brutal. Dixon's only hope is to let the trust of a good friend and the love of a good woman lead the way to true justice and redemption--on Arctic Wings.Hubbard never wrote a word, conceived a character, or described a setting without first finding out all he could about the people and places that drove his stories. He wrote: "I began to search for research on the theory that if I could get a glimmering of anything lying beyond a certain horizon, I could go deep enough to find an excellent story. I read exhaustively. I wanted information and nothing else." His exhaustive research--and search for the excellent story--comes through brilliantly in Arctic Wings.

Arde conmigo
by Steven Savile Alicia L. AlonsoEl autor británico de superventas de series como Doctor Who, Primeval y Torchwood presenta un thriller rodeado de ocultismo, en el que las calles del viejo Londres de la reina Victoria se ven sumidas en un caos de asesinatos y fenómenos sobrenaturales. Cosas muy extrañas y terroríficas ocurren en Londres. Los leones de Trafalgar han abandonado sus pedestales junto a la columna de Lord Nelson, para defender la ciudad y cumplir una antigua profecía. Mientras tanto, una presencia siniestra, libre de nuevo tras vivir aprisionada durante siglos, se ha lanzado a la caza de presas indefensas a través de las calles iluminadas por lámparas de gas y los mercados de carne del distrito de Whitechapel. Las mujeres que persigue son muy distintas de las prostitutas que están siendo brutalmente asesinadas por un tal Jack. Son mujeres que se hacen pasar por vendedoras de flores, pero por cuyas venas corre sangre de ángel. Entre estas dos fuerzas del bien y del mal se encuentran los Greyfriar, dispuestos a enfrentarse a los enemigos infernales sin más armas que su agudeza mental y un toque de magia de la vieja escuela. Para ellos, el éxito radica en poder rescatar la sangre inocente y los tiernos corazones que la hacen latir. El precio de la derrota es demasiado horrible. Únete a Dorian Carruthers y a los inquebrantables caballeros Greyfriar para evitar que el Diablo y sus secuaces tomen la ciudad y la hagan suya, en un viaje a través de las entrañas más oscuras de Londres y directo a la mismísima Escalera Catamina que baja a los infiernos.

Sin embargo, el furioso sufrimiento de Juan lo sacude todo. Acuden con un especialista que diagnostica una esquizofrenia temprana. La frialdad de los británicos se convierte en franco desprecio y Josefina asume el cuidado físico y emocional de su hermano. Pasan los años y Jon y Holly deciden regresar a vivir a Inglaterra, dejando la tutela de Juan a Josefina. Es la consumación del abandono de toda una vida. Juan debe ser ingresado a un hospital psiquiátrico. Josefina, huésped espectral de su propia vida, nuevamente deberá hacerse cargo de todo.

Arden: A Study of His Plays (Routledge Revivals)
by Albert HuntJohn Arden was one of the major playwrights to have emerged during the 1950s, yet his work has arguably been misunderstood. In this book, first published in 1974, Albert Hunt’s primary concern is to relate the plays written by John Arden alone, as well as those written in collaboration with Margaretta D’Arcy, both to Arden’s whole concept of theatre, and to his social and political attitudes. The book begins with a biographical introduction, followed by a play-by-play study of Arden’s work and a survey of the impact of his plays in performance, alongside fascinating images. Celebrating the work and life of the playwright, this timely reissue will be of particular value to students of theatre studies as well as professional actors with an interest in John Arden’s plays and theatrical ideologies.
