A Buffalo's Revenge is a searing portrait of the Vietnam War, a
struggle mixed with racial hatred and social unrest. It is a search for love and
identity in a trial of blood and bones.
Book Description
A Buffalo’s Revenge, a Vietnam negative, explores the limits of a nation
engaged in a struggle for freedom when the mirror reveals a fractured image.
Racism is bundled in an interlocking grid of white and black and oriental
hatred. The backdrop of the home front, the plague of assassinations, a
spiraling anti-war movement, a sandwiched Media, and politicians and a military
caught in the glare of appeasing conflicting demands underscores the plight of
individuals fighting for their lives and their loves. Doc Lusane must overcome
his need to die; James Jaggers his need to kill; Pee Wee Anson to hate.
The home front explodes in a frenzy of hate and violence.
The boys discover love beyond the peculiar cadence of language and dialect.
They discover life beyond race or color. They discover themselves.
America was at war thirty-five years ago and we are at war today. A
Buffalo’s Revenge is a snapshot of America, then and now.
Extremities-4 is a
satiric science fiction fantasy coursing through the cavernous corners of human
nature. The nation is gripped by a plague, part Simian, or is it part eagle,
horse, or lizard?
Book Description
Extremities-4, a modern-day morality tale/medical fantasy, examines the
origins and consequences of a dreaded Simian-like disease of the limbs and
tracks the plight of four unlucky specimens weaving the landscape of an America
livid and pale from a bad case of Darwinian déjà vu.
Calypso Ambiliano, Casey Dawes, Jose Greene, and Steve Einstein are caught in
the crosshairs between civilization and reality.
Vilified and despised by a startled citizenry, the Authorities herd the
afflicted to an esteemed Medical Research Center, where they are probed, cut,
X-rayed, and scanned.
Cal, Casey, Jose and Steve escape to the serenity of northern Vermont—only to
be betrayed by old enemies.
The four stumble into an old root cellar, a cave of beginnings, and witness
the nation, the world succumb to its Animal Claw origins.
The nation again celebrates its sameness, but the descent into
nature continues.
Extremities-4 is a macabre and bizarre tale of the familiar and the
foreign.
