PAPR:KUT by Ian McLachlan

In a home for the elderly, in the suburbs of  London, Stephen is waiting to die. His anxious ruminations on the past, and on a  future that will go on without him after his death, are interrupted by the  arrival of Elsha, once a famous poet, now a victim of Alzheimer's. But can he  adapt to the change that she brings?

Meanwhile, Jason, an  eighteen-year-old nu-metalhead, is arriving in a new country, Italy. Insecure,  experience-hungry, and eager to experiment, he is running away from an unhappy  home, carrying with him an onerous secret, and hoping to create a better life  for himself.

Papr:kut is a novel about survival: how the past survives in  us, and how we survive in the present.

Suicide String by Burt Keimach

In the wake of ‘9/11’, suicide bombers still believe fervently that they will enter Paradise by ending their Earthly lives and killing ‘infidels’. The story outlines the young life of a member of a Hamas Battle Cell. It precisely details the deeply religious and historical rationale for his creed, going back to the time of the infamous hashish-driven ‘Assassins’ of early Islam, and leading him eventually to the target in the United States that is his objective. Paralleling the sinister activities of the terrorists, is a world famous Israeli Professor of History and Politics who travels to the U.S. where he becomes the unwitting focus of interest for the Battle Cell. Linked to the Professor are his old friend and antagonist, the Prime Minister of Israel, members of the Mosad, Israeli students in the U.S., and the intrepid investigators of the FBI. Through the Professor, and the other protagonists, the roots of the Israeli-Arab impasse, and the personal agonies on both sides of a tragic divide, are examined. The story takes on aspects of a thriller as suspicions mount, and law enforcement agencies in America begin to zero in on the cell. The conclusion, like the turmoil in the Middle East, leaves the world gasping.
