In 1975, Rich, an American law student visiting his family in Beirut, falls in love with Muna, the beautiful and intensely militant Palestinian activist whose brother leads the Rejection Front. Pursuing Muna, Rich becomes entangled in her commitment to terrorism. His father, a long-time resident of Beirut and specialist in Arab affairs, also becomes embroiled in the tragic efforts of Palestinian resistance. As civil war tears open the festering wounds of Lebanon, we experience the authentic scene of Beirut destroying itself, pitting Moslems and Palestinians against Christian forces. The war's bombs, battles and brutality are seen through the expatriate eyes of Rich's American family. Political intrigues envelop Rich and Muna. Their secret meetings are exposed, and they stand to be separated. Their hopes and those of the many victims of the war's turmoil and violence might end up buried in Beirut.

He was the last hostage, but no one in the outside world even knew he'd been taken, or by whom. He was last seen in Rome, but his broken body ended up in Beirut. He had been on a mission so explosive that only the President of the United States and his personal security co-ordinator knew of it. The secret he'd discovered had a price: 150 million dollars, and the lives of everyone who had tried to claim it. The Envoy is a book in the tradition of George Brown's other bestsellers, Ringmain and The Double Tenth: all the violence of the Middle East is laid bare in a novel that twists and turns to its shocking end.

Led by ex-navy SEAL Mike Chambers, the Trident Force is the blackest of the black ops. Their specialty: fighting the war on terror at sea. Handpicked for their skills above and below the waterline, they do the jobs no one else can handle—and the jobs no one else can survive. When a cargo ship sailing into the port of Naples is torpedoed, the Trident Force is alerted to the new and unexpected danger. A mysterious terrorist known only as the Sea Hawk has deployed underwater mines at strategic choke points to disrupt cargo operations around the world and create political and economic chaos. The Trident Force plunges in, willing to put themselves in harm’s way, before another mine takes out another ship. But even as they search beneath the sea, their sights remain on their higher objective: find the Sea Hawk and bring him down.

Ever since the first exploratory expeditions in the early modern period, North America has epitomized to Europeans a promise and the hope for the fulfilment of great expectations, be it of more freedom, greater wealth, social liberation or religious tolerance. While numerous features in this dialogic intercontinental relationship will hold true for North America in its entirety, the vast northern territories which we know as Canada today began to emerge early on as a specific iconic location in European mind-maps, and they definitely acquired a distinctive profile after the formation of the USA. As a rich source of cultural exchange and an important partner in political and economic cooperation Canada has come to occupy an important position in the cultural discourses of many European nations. It is these refractions and images of Canada which this volume thoroughly explores in European literature and culture. The contributions include literature, philosophy, language, life-writing and the concept of 'Heimat' (homeland) as well as the cultural impact of the World Wars. While there is an emphasis on literary texts, other fields of cultural representation are also included.

The Milan Briefcase unfolds against the backdrop of the continuing, all but forgotten war in eastern Ukraine and an ailing Russian economy whose helmsmen are losing the electorate’s faith in their competence. It is a tale of machinations within clandestine corridors of power, where manipulation of public opinion is just one of the ruses, together with systematic dumbing down, employed by Machiavellian puppet masters towards achieving unpalatable ends. When classified Secret Service documents left inadvertently in a London minicab fall into private hands and are whisked away to a quiet European principality, the fuse is lit to a chain of events setting British and American intelligence services on a collision course against six individuals unaware of the significance of what they have uncovered. After three of the protagonists collude in a major bank robbery, not one of the six escapes the line of fire, whether it be in the form of death lurking in Gaudí’s Sagrada Família, Hezbollah pitted against the Islamic State in Lebanon, indictment for conspiring with jihadists, a suicide bomber in Lagos, a disastrous military offensive in Afghanistan or pursuit beyond Tiananmen Square. But perhaps some are prepared to pay the price.

“Daring, dazzling . . . A tough, funny, heart-breaking book” by the National Book Award–nominated author of An Unnecessary Woman (The Seattle Times). Detailing the impact of the AIDS epidemic in America and the Lebanese civil war in Beirut on a circle of friends and their families during the 1980s and 1990s, this “absolutely brilliant” novel mines the chaos of contemporary experience, telling the stories of characters who can no longer love or think except in fragments (Amy Tan). Clips and quips, vignettes and hallucinations, tragic news reports and hilarious short plays, conversations with both the quick and the dead, all shine their combined lights to reveal the way we experience life today in the debut novel of the author Michael Chabon calls “one of our most daring writers.” “A provocative, emotionally searing series of connected vignettes . . . For a nonlinear novel the images chosen retain a remarkable cohesion. Often sexually frank or jarringly violent, they merge into a graphic portrait of two cultures torn from the inside.” —Publishers Weekly “[A] refreshing statement of honesty and endurance . . . Funny, brave, full of heart and willing to say things about war and disease, sexual and cultural politics that have rarely been said so boldly or directly before.” —The Oregonian “Rabih Alameddine is one rare writer who not only breaks our hearts but gives every broken piece a new life.” —Yiyun Li

A young, female CIA officer under non-official cover has been snatched off of the streets of Beirut by Hezbollah. This is the kind of situation that CIA's legendary Deputy Director of Operations Edwin Rothmann needs solved fast—but he can't involve the agency. Instead, he enlists the renegade Ft. Lauderdale outfit he refers to as "CIA, Inc." headed by former CIA case officer Mac MacMurphy. As the kidnapped officer faces a battle of wits with her mysterious interrogator, MacMurphy and his team track down a former CIA asset who may hold the key to infiltrating the hostage situation before it gets out of hand.
