As in the preparation of Navy Blue and Cleared for Action, the author has taken great pains to verify the main facts of the present story, so far as they are concerned with the incidents of the great struggle still in progress between the empires of the East and the West. He acknowledges most gratefully the assistance received from the office of the Secretary of the Navy, from ex-Secretary John D. Long, and from Commander W. H. H. Southerland, now commanding the U. S. Cruiser Cleveland, Commander Austin M. Knight, President of the Board on Naval Ordnance, and Chief Engineer Edward Farmer, retired. [mehr]

China Is The Theatre Of The Greatest Movement Now Taking Place On The Face Of The Globe. In Comparison With It, The Agitation In Russia Shrinks To Insignificance; For It Is Not Political, But Social. Its Object Is Not A Changed Dynasty, Nor A Revolution In The Form Of Government; But, With Higher Aim And Deeper Motive, It Promises Nothing Short Of The Complete Renovation Of The Oldest, Most Populous, And Most Conservative Of Empires. Is There A People In Either Hemisphere That Can Afford To Look On With Indifference? When, Some Thirty Years Ago, Japan Adopted The Outward Forms Of Western Civilisation, Her Action Was Regarded By Many As A Stage Trick--A Sort Of Travesty Employed For A Temporary Purpose. But What Do They Think Now, When They See Cabinets And Chambers Of Commerce Compelled To Reckon With The British Of The North Pacific? The Awakening Of Japan'S Huge Neighbour Promises To Yield Results Equally Startling And On A Vastly Extended Scale. [mehr]

In 2018 an oceanic research vessel disappears at the site of the world’s largest floating landfill in the north Pacific gyre, leaving behind no trace of the highly prized scientific minds sent to investigate and potentially eradicate this ecological catastrophe of monstrous proportions. To recoup their losses an overly taxed (and much maligned) U.S. government resorts to plan ‘b’: they arrange a second voyage on a shoestring budget and recruit a team of disposable douchebags. Their mission? Recover the lost ship, find the scientists and figure out how to eliminate this problem once and for all. Enter the gullible dominatrix, the alcohol and drug-addled ex-pro football player, the lecherous, sex-addict governor, the professional hustler, the sweet and innocent college intern with a proclivity for lesbian romance, the dour Washington D.C.-appointed marine biologist, the Missing Link, the Naval reject and the ship’s captain who is so cantankerous he’ll make you walk the plank on a good day. Together they will stop at nothing to find out the truth, but things aren’t quite what they seem on Garbage Island, and all too quickly they discover that escape is impossible. Sure to be an instant classic, The Gyre Mission is a contemporary disasterpiece of horror and humor, probing humanity’s questionable morality and moribund environmental priorities. Edgar Swamp combines acerbic, satiric wit with chilling brutality and surrealistic imagery, creating a world so utterly foul you can almost smell it waft from the pages like the fetid stench of a city sewer, populated by characters you’d swear you’ve met before…in a police line-up.
