British Nautical Melodramas, 1820–1850
During the 1820s and 30s nautical melodramas "reigned supreme" on London stages, entertaining the mariners and maritime workers who comprised a large part of the audience for small theatres. These plays mixed sentimental moments and comic interludes of domestic melodrama with patriotic images that communicated and reinforced imperial themes. However, generally the study of British theatre history moves from medieval and renaissance plays directly to the realism and naturalism of late Victorian and modern drama. Readers typically encounter a gap between Restoration and eighteenth-century plays like those of Oliver Goldsmith and Richard Brinsley Sheridan, and late-nineteenth plays by Henrik Ib...

Chameleon
A spin under the new VR headgear sends programmer Joe Norton into fictional territory: an AI game of tough love, mind control, and true choices. At stake are Norton’s relationships, career and sanity. He has a new mission to fulfill—but his gift-wrapped scope rifle came with no instructions, no target or source, only a single bullet. Norton chases red herrings into dimensional cul-de-sacs, seeks escape, and is tangled tighter in the net. Is the only way out, to go further in? Caught between worlds with a menu of bad choices, Norton must find his way back to the "home brain," to beat the rogue cybervirus at its own game. Published in earlier editions as PsyBot and FutureCon, Chameleon is recast in Vancouver in 1992, as a throwback to the cyberpunk era, a retro dive into the underworld of mind-control black ops, and a literate interface with emerging transhumanist technologies and agendas.
