The Soft Machine introduced us to the conditions of a universe where endemic lusts of the mind and body pray upon men, hook them, and turn them into beasts. Nova Express takes William S. Burroughs’s nightmarish futuristic tale one step further. The diabolical Nova Criminals—Sammy The Butcher, Green Tony, Iron Claws, The Brown Artist, Jacky Blue Note, Izzy The Push, to name only a few—have gained control and plan on wreaking untold destruction. It’s up to Inspector Lee of the Nova Police to attack and dismantle the word and imagery machine of these “control addicts” before it’s too late. This surrealist novel is part sci-fi, part Swiftian parody, and always pure Burroughs.

In The Ticket That Exploded, William S. Burroughs’s grand “cut-up” trilogy that starts with The Soft Machine and continues through Nova Express reaches its climax as inspector Lee and the Nova Police engage the Nova Mob in a decisive battle for the planet. Only Burroughs could make such a nightmare vision of scientists and combat troops, of ad men and con men whose deceitful language has spread like an incurable disease be at once so frightening and so enthralling.

In Naked Lunch, William S. Burroughs revealed his genius. In The Soft Machine he begins an adventure that will take us even further into the dark recesses of his imagination, a region where nothing is sacred, nothing taboo. Continuing his ferocious verbal assault on hatred, hype, poverty, war, bureaucracy, and addiction in all its forms, Burroughs gives us a surreal space odyssey through the wounded galaxies in a book only he could create.

Fifty years ago, Norman Mailer asserted, "William Burroughs is the only American novelist living today who may conceivably be possessed by genius." Few since have taken such literary risks, developed such individual political or spiritual ideas, or spanned such a wide range of media. Burroughs wrote novels, memoirs, technical manuals, and poetry. He painted, made collages, took thousands of photographs, produced hundreds of hours of experimental recordings, acted in movies, and recorded more CDs than most rock bands. Burroughs was the original cult figure of the Beat Movement, and with the publication of his novel Naked Lunch, which was originally banned for obscenity, he became a guru to the 60s youth counterculture. In Call Me Burroughs, biographer and Beat historian Barry Miles presents the first full-length biography of Burroughs to be published in a quarter century-and the first one to chronicle the last decade of Burroughs's life and examine his long-term cultural legacy. Written with the full support of the Burroughs estate and drawing from countless interviews with figures like Allen Ginsberg, Lucien Carr, and Burroughs himself, Call Me Burroughs is a rigorously researched biography that finally gets to the heart of its notoriously mercurial subject.

In the year 2050, General Mark William George Parker, a United States Special Operations Officer experiences a strange encounter which occurred while overseeing Project 70, a high-level secret intelligence mission collaborated between the United States Government and British Aristocrats, looking to rebuild a utopian society on Earth. During this mission, Mark encounters an alien chemical substance leaking out of a meteorite that crashed into the mountains of Pakistan amidst the Valley of the Red Dragon. This encounter leaves him with a mutation and strange powers which, ten years later in the year 2060, he uses to defend the world against an army of villains, led by his adversary Nate who plans to steal the chemical and take control of the entire universe in a catastrophic way. Along with a motley crew of characters, which includes his friends Harry, Meghan, and Nina, Mark battles Nate and his army of humanoids, cyborgs, clones, and henchmen - all looking to create an atmosphere of doom on Earth while attempting to build a dystopian empire on Mars. Mark knows that Nate must be stopped but he and his team can't do it alone. With the help of the Egyptian Goddess, Sekhmet, along with the gift of a small enchanting African instrument called a kalimba, and a fierce, loyal, red dragon named Ntwadumela ('he who greets with fire'), Mark and his loyal companions use ingenuity and technology to furiously battle and obliterate the sinister forces of Nate.
