The Sea-Wolf is a 1904 psychological adventure novel by American novelist Jack London about a literary critic, survivor of an ocean collision, who comes under the dominance of Wolf Larsen, the powerful and amoral sea captain who rescues him. Its first printing of forty thousand copies was immediately sold out before publication on the strength of London's previous The Call of the Wild. Ambrose Bierce wrote, "The great thing—and it is among the greatest of things—is that tremendous creation, Wolf Larsen... the hewing out and setting up of such a figure is enough for a man to do in one lifetime... The love element, with its absurd suppressions, and impossible proprieties, is awful." [more]

Ned Myers (born 1793) was an American sailor. Born in Quebec as a British subject, Myers grew up in Halifax after being abandoned by his father. He moved to New York City at the age of eleven, cherishing the dream of becoming a sailor. Two years later, while serving aboard the merchant ship Sterling, Myers would meet James Fenimore Cooper, who would later write a biography of him. Myers rejected his status as a British subject and became an American citizen, something that would cause him trouble when he was captured by a Royal Navy warship in the summer of 1812. He was a survivor of the sinking of the USS Scourge (1812). However, Myers would live through the War of 1812, meeting with Cooper in 1843 for the authoring of his biography. [more]

The Last of the Mohicans is a historical novel by James Fenimore Cooper. The story is set in 1757, during the French and Indian War (the Seven Years' War), when France and Great Britain battled for control of North America. During this war, the French depended on its Native American allies to help fight the more numerous British colonists in the Northeast frontier areas. The Last of the Mohicans has been James Fenimore Cooper's most popular work. It has continued as one of the most widely read novels throughout the world, and it has influenced popular opinion about American Indians and the frontier period of eastern American history. The romanticized images of the strong, fearless, and ever resourceful frontiersman, as well as the stoic, wise, and noble "red man" were notions derived from Cooper's characterizations more than from anywhere else. The phrase, "the last of the Mohicans," has come to represent the sole survivor of a noble race or type. [more]

THE CLEANSING Getting by after the end of the world is a real pain in the neck. Things would be much better for Kirby if wasn’t for those damn, pesky dims. Dims, or to be politically correct, the diminished intelligents, are just about the only remnants of mankind after a pandemic swept the world clean. The lucky victims died in the throes of the brain virus; the survivors are reduced to something with the intelligence of a thunderstruck cow. Turned loose by the collapse of society, dims are everywhere you look - especially when you don’t want them to be there. You could be a regular survivor. Untouched by the virus, (yippee!), you’d be some poor schmuck like Kirby left to survive on what few wits and fewer resources he has. Those resources are quickly diminishing thanks to a pack of dims that keep breaking into Kirby’s stuff. It doesn’t help that the dims are primarily in the neighborhood thanks to the old lady up the street that leaves food out for them. The dims would blow this soda pop stand if it wasn’t for her giving them a reason to stay – well, wait for Kirby to tell you his side of the story later. Long story somewhat shorter – life would be easier without those dims, wouldn’t it? Is it time for a cleansing or what? [more]
