Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, Presented by Paul W. Collins

This is a novelization of the play incorporating Shakespeare�s dialogue � no footnotes! At the end of a violent Scottish insurrection, three mischievous agents of Fate tempt a valiant warrior who in times of peace has been an unprincipled thane, a nobleman eager to rise, but reluctant to create political opportunity by criminal means. His ambitious wife is not so hesitant � she demands that he act, and the pair�s conniving soon bears its fruits � and consequences. Living in luxury, the deadly couple are haunted: she, tormented by nightmarish guilt, he, sleepless, and driven to violent action in hopes of altering the dismal destiny prophesied for him. Macbeth�s extravagance and increasingly malevolent actions arouse fear, then stir resistance, bringing Scotland�s nobility to the verge of civil war. Always bold, he is fearless after again listening to the �witches�. As have many others, after seizing power and exerting it ruthlessly, he comes to believe he�s invincible. Only the impossible, it seems, could defeat Macbeth � but his patriotic opponents must try.

Alexandra

One of the major problems in my life is an irresistible impulse to fall head-over-heels in love with complete strangers. This may not seem much of a problem, but when you combine it with a deep seated insecurity that makes me sure that they�ll never be interested in loving me back, it produces quite a few problems. The first is an unwillingness, or rather an inability, to express my feelings. The first time I fell in love was when I was fourteen. It was with a girl who used to go to the school across the road from mine. But I couldn�t even bring myself to talk to her let alone ask her out. We used to get the same bus home from school and I�d stand there at the bus stop trying not to stare at her. For a whole school year we stood there, not talking to each other. And to this day I have absolutely no idea if she had any similar feelings for me, or if she even noticed me. The second problem is �

Corvus

n a slightly alternate world the minds of teen offenders are uploaded into computers for rehabilitation � a form of virtual wilderness therapy. Zach is a homo cognoscens, one of the new humans with startling but as yet poorly understood cognitive abilities who can enter the virtual Fulgrid. Though still a high school student, he is indentured to the Fulgur Corporation as a counsellor. Laura is a homo sapiens. They meet and fall in love across barriers of fear and hatred, exacerbated by Zach�s growing involvement with an underground political movement. There is some mystery as to the fate of his parents, while Laura�s dad is a prominent neuroscientist with the Fulgur Corporation. Lines of loyalty are difficult to untangle, particularly because both have suffered a certain measure of emotional trauma in their early lives. From the very first chapters there is a sense of impending tragedy.
