Orlando Bloom Has Ruined Everything
Author: Bill Amend
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing
ISBN: 0740749994
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
Meet ten-year-old Lord of the Rings nerd Jason Fox and his high-school freshman sister, Paige. Jason can't believe he and his sister are both vying for front-row seats to the release of the movie. There's no denying that things will never be the same with heartthrob Orlando Bloom's involvement in Jason's favorite series. Don't forget their underachieving older brother, Peter. With three strong adolescent personalities in one household, colorful stuff often hits the fan; dad Roger usually ducks to avoid it, while mom Andy tries to keep it from staining the rug. Orlando Bloom Has Ruined Everything lampoons memorable moments from 2003 and 2004, such as the East Coast blackout. In the FoxTrot version, an "ink outage" renders several days' strips only partially drawn. "I called Funky Winkerbean. He says the ink's out over the entire grid," Jason reports. In another series of strips, Jason's latest money-making scheme involves creating an animated film to rival the box office blockbusters of Pixar and Dreamworks: "It's the tender story of a leech's search for his missing son. I'm calling it Finding Hemo. The success of FoxTrot has yielded consequences creator Bill Amend may never have imagined. The strip has been used as a question on the game show Jeopardy! and as an answer in the New York Times crossword. It's a fitting irony that FoxTrot has become a fixture of pop culture, the very phenomenon it parodies with such keen wit.

Part historical novel, part romance, this exotic story spans Vietnamese history and generations in its portrayal of la doctoresse Jade Minh, an exquisitely beautiful but soulless woman with a secret past; the mysterious Chou, the South Vietnamese Embassy's slippery legal eagle and sometimes counterspy who lusts after Jade Minh with a creative perversion; and lovely Suzette, illegitimate child of a star-crossed union who is adopted into America at the start of the Vietnam War and returns to Vietnam searching for her identity. Lilting on the ear, Red Dream's narrative is spiked with simple poetry like the lyrics of a modern song. It is also a unique visual experience. Images set behind the text or running up the wide margins gives the pages a special appeal. "Steamy and sexy....Stunning and unforgettable" - Christopher Ondaatje.

The Ring and the Swastika
Author: Sandy Jenkins
Publisher: Troubador Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 1785892118
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
‘This is only a start,’ he said to Hilder. ‘I think that the English will invade sooner or later. Even though that may not be for some time the Germans will, in the end, be thrown out and I expect that there will be more raids to come.’ It’s 1941 and Erik Kingsnorth, a half-Norwegian Commando captain, lands in German occupied Norway as a radio-communications agent. He is acutely aware of the need at all costs to avoid his Norwegian relations but is spotted on a fishing boat by his cousin Bjorn. But Bjorn turns out to be a collaborator and Erik is ordered by the Resistance to shoot him. Armed with a pistol he confronts his cousin on a lonely path at dusk but cannot bring himself to pull the trigger. Later, working alongside the Resistance Erik discovers what is being constructed on a wild uninhabited coastline – a top secret U-boat staging post where he narrowly escapes capture in a fusillade of rifle fire. With the help of the Resistance leader’s beautiful daughter he stumbles across a huge cache of gold ingots in a sea cave which bear Soviet hallmarks – could they really be from HMS Edinburgh previously torpedoed in the Barents Sea? Erik is soon drawn in to a world of danger, intrigue and to desperate flight from pursuing Nazis. He flies out in a commandeered float plane but crash lands into the Great Tana River near the Russian border and is arrested by the Soviets who believe him to be a collaborator. Finally, in a gulag in Arctic Russia he is overtaken by monstrous events too awful even to contemplate. Inspired by books such as Two Eggs on my Plate by Oluf Reed-Olsen and We Die Alone by David Howarth, The Ring and the Swastika will appeal to fans of historical novels, especially those with a particular interest in wartime Norway.
