When an accomplished sailor and her parents learn of a viral attack on the United States while sailing offshore, they plot a course for survival. But can they escape the wave of terror that is coming?What started out as a peaceful sailing trip for an accomplished sailor and her parents ends in a dystopian nightmare and a fight for survival in The Last American. Twenty-four-year-old Allison Stenner and her parents are sailing off-shore when they learn of an enemy attack on the United States. With a full-scale viral assault underway, the family is captured in a coastal blockade manned by criminals from maximum security prisons who have been freed, inoculated, and given orders to hunt down, imprison, and kill Americans. With their lives at risk, they plot an escape. But can they evade both capture and a deadly virus?The Last American is more than just a fast-paced thriller. Exploring the possibility that the United States is headed toward a national apocalypse, author Richard Green reflects on 9/11 and considers how on that ill-fated morning, without military assistance, an underfunded group of eighteen misguided souls temporarily crippled the United States financial system and forever altered the way millions of Americans live. A fact that begs the question...could a more sophisticated entity, backed militarily and financially, accomplish a similar event only on a much wider scale, with one last American survivor? Evoking memories of the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the book considers the future threat of biological weapons and warfare. Liberal-minded adults and sailing enthusiasts will be captivated by this unique narrative on the outcome of a surprise viral attack and the destruction of a major world player, resulting not from warring superpowers but rather a much simpler source.

William Powell Frith (1819-1909), famous for his picture The Derby Day which normally hangs at Tate Britain, was the most celebrated painter of modern-life subjects in mid-Victorian England and the most popular British artist of that time. Published to mark the bicentenary of his birth and in association with an exhibition at the Mercer Art Gallery, Harrogate, this richly illustrated volume of essays offers fresh and fascinating perspectives on Frith''s career and context. Despite dramatic shifts in taste with regard to Victorian painting during subsequent generations, Frith''s name has never been eclipsed, let alone forgotten ΓÇô unlike those of most of his genre-painter contemporaries ΓÇô as an introductory survey of critical responses to the artist''s work reveals. This provides a starting point for investigations, drawing on much new and original material, of three of Frith''s great panoramas of the Victorian world ΓÇô Life at the Sea-Side (Ramsgate Sands), The Derby Day and The Private View at the Royal Academy, 1881. Further contributions explore important but hitherto neglected aspects of Frith''s personal life and professional activity. Of significant biographical interest are studies of Frith''s close connections with Yorkshire (the county of his birth and also his first wife Isabelle''s) and his friendships with contemporary writers, notably the Sensation novelist Mary Elizabeth Braddon. The artist''s less well-known historical genre pictures are reappraised, with focus on the early success of An English Merry-Making, a Hundred Years Ago, while the key role played by the print trade in the widespread dissemination of Frith''s images is examined in detail for the first time. An intriguing manifestation of Frith''s popularisation was the re-creation of certain of his most famous compositions as tableaux on the London stage, yet another fresh topic in this presentation of ''The People''s Painter''. Revisiting Frith and his achievement through new approaches, this book confirms his position as the pre-eminent visual chronicler of the mid-Victorian scene and the importance of his place in the history of British art.

Richard Green has a knack of taking an event or an idea and reframing it to hilarious effect, throwing us off balance into a world of absurd and compelling storytelling. The three wise men desperately try to keep the nativity story straight; a leopard has a job as an overzealous police officer; and time- travelling poets critique each other's work in a Gentlemen's Club. But Green's stories are not merely clever comedy. As characters are exaggerated and history re-imagined, a keen intelligence satirises self-importance, ambition and stupidity. Painful puns and cartoonish characters live side-by-side with hidden references and historical knowledge that might have you running for Google. Chosen by Random will make you laugh, groan, learn and above all, brighten your day with its wit and imagination.
