Brute NeighborsJust Write Books, 2006 - 260 pàgines Sam Lanston's distress at losing a job he loves is multiplied when he is accused of murdering the man who took his place. While no physical evidence links Sam to the murder scene, the last act of the murdered man has been to type Sam's initials onto the sheet of paper that was in the victim's typewriter. The prosecutor is determined to convict Sam, by means legal or otherwise, and it looks as if Sam will spend the rest of his life in the Superannuate. While his hero is Henry David Thoreau, Sam Lanston discovers that the only people who survive in the new millennium are those who never raise even a mild voice of protest to the various tyrannies that would impose their will upon us. This novel explores the supposedly rational and non violent sphere of academe and the real world of the justice system outside the ivy covered walls. H. R. Coursen has published seventeen books on Shakespeare, twenty-one novels, and thirty books of poetry. A fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force, he became a membe of Veterans for Peace as the war in Vietnam developed. He teaches at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and the University of Maine at Augusta.
