A critical rethinking of theories of national imagination, The Dawn That Never Comes offers the most detailed reading to date in English of one of modern Japan's most influential poets and novelists, Shimazaki Toson (1872–1943). It also reveals how Toson's works influenced the production of a fluid, shifting form of national imagination that has characterized twentieth-century Japan. Analyzing Toson's major works, Michael K. Bourdaghs demonstrates that the construction of national imagination requires a complex interweaving of varied—and sometimes contradictory—figures for imagining the national community. Many scholars have shown, for example, that modern hygiene has functioned in nationalist thought as a method of excluding foreign others as diseased. This study explores the multiple images of illness appearing in Toson's fiction to demonstrate that hygiene employs more than one model of pathology, and it reveals how this multiplicity functioned to produce the combinations of exclusion and assimilation required to sustain a sense of national community. Others have argued that nationalism is inherently ambivalent and self-contradictory; Bourdaghs shows more concretely both how this is so and why it is necessary and provides, in the process, a new way of thinking about national imagination. Individual chapters take up such issues as modern medicine and the discourses of national health; ideologies of the family and its representation in modern literary works; the gendering of the canon of national literature; and the multiple forms of space and time that narratives of national history require.

The snow had been falling with fierce intensity for the past several hours and the accompanying strong north wind was creating blizzard conditions. While the four men sat around a small stove discussing the fate of their two captives, the two men in question, one young and the other only slightly older, sat huddled in a corner of the other unfinished cabin without the benefit of a stove or light. They fought off the biting cold and penetrating wind blowing through the cracks in the flimsy walls with only a couple of thread-bare blankets and their jackets. The older man spoke softly to the figure huddle next to him, Hang in there, son, well get out of here I promise. Move closer to me and we can share our body heat. We have to keep our strength up when the time comes we can move. The younger man moved closer and responded weakly, I dont know if I can hang on much longer, Im so cold and hungry. Putting his arm around the shivering figure the other man replied, Just hold on to me, my friends will be looking for us and I know they wont give up until were found. Huddled to together the younger man tried to sleep while the mind of the older man churned over the possibilities of finding a way out of their predicament. He realized he needed to do something and do it quickly before both of them became a useless commodity which would place them at the mercy of not only the freezing weather but also their guards.

Next to jealousy, hatred is one of the hardest emotions to control, and the members of the Broken Dreams Detective Agency feel the wrath of an enemy who escaped their clutches previously and seeks only vengeance no matter the cost. A foreigner on American soil, the antagonist defies his own master in extracting revenge against the men and women of the agency that foiled his attempt to extricate precious metals from the soil of a land that was not his own. If he had stuck to the religious agenda of the leader who had entrusted him with a plausible plan, the man may have succeeded in the original scheme, but he did not know who he was dealing with and took his inappropriate actions a step too far. Once again Reggie Nutsbagh and Toby Preston rise to the challenge and what follows is a classic tale of what greed and hatred can accomplish, nothing but death and destruction. Grab the edge of your seat for the roller coaster ride to top all adventures.

Dawn’s First Blush with its sparkling glow was still shining brightly through the single dingy window of the building securely tucked away in on of Montana’s dense forests, but its warmth brought no comfort to those inside the small building. It only succeeded in chilling their hearts, as this, like other days, merely seemed to bring them closer to an unknown fate. Some of those in the small cabin had been there for over a week while others had been shoved into the building before the morning’s first blush. All but two of the captives wore disheveled street garb familiar to the homeless – threadbare clothes that had seen their better days, fingerless gloves and shoes with holes showing through the soles. There were no exceptions of this general rule other than the two men who sat shoulder to shoulder in a corner whispering in low voices. Dressed in what were once fine suits, with white shirts and silk ties, they sat huddled in bewilderment. Their fine suits now disheveled and wrinkled, the shirts no longer white and the ties strained and hanging askew around their necks, Their faces were covered with lacerations, the handiwork of the men who had overpowered them as they approached the gate leading to the camp.

The Dawn Of A New Day is a collection of poems that bring insight and awareness to everyday living. These poems are shared experiences of how the world looks through the eyes of someone who got a second chance in life. I share my rebirth to a new day and all the wonders that came with it. The sharing of daily experiences from the hardship of the aged, the dreams of the young to Veterans and their story, and how time or should I say How Old Father Time waits on no one. The principles that some are judged by and the morals others live by. But through prayer and faith in the Lord He will continually bring us through to that Dawn Of A New Day. I thought this would be a befitting title to follow my previous book After The Storm Is Over, because after the storm, The Dawn Of A New Day, brings calmness and growth. All praises to God, for the same one who holds The Heavens in place - Also guides Our steps. I pray that these poems will inspire, bless and comfort you.

The dawn of an inconceivable act of treason rises. The stakes for America's future have never been higher than in a gripping novel of suspense by the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Deep Sleep. When CIA officer Helen Gray died, her son, Devin, a countersurveillance expert, inherited her paranoia--and the explosive evidence that gave it weight: a vast, previously undetected Russian sleeper network has operated in the United States since the Cold War. The cells aren't just embedded in every level of state and federal government. They've penetrated corporations that supply crucial technology to the Department of Defense and various intelligence agencies. With the network's true scope still unknown, the only way to drive a stake through the heart of the conspiracy is to dispatch a covert crew to Moscow and eliminate the oligarch bankrolling it. Russia's endgame: inconceivable. Devin's challenge: stop the greatest threat to national security and world peace in history. The margin for error: nonexistent.
