Synopsis

George Chapman'Äôs "Bussy D'Ambois and The Revenge of Bussy D'Ambois" showcases a profound exploration of themes such as honor, betrayal, and vengeance within a dynastic tapestry of the Elizabethan dramatic landscape. Employing a rich, poetic style, Chapman intricately weaves blank verse with rhetorical eloquence, reflecting the influences of Classical tragedy and the tumultuous political milieu of Renaissance England. The plays intimately delve into the psyche of their titular character, Bussy, portraying his tragic arc amid court intrigues and societal moral dilemmas, which, in turn, illuminates the complexities of human ambition and desire. George Chapman, a contemporary of Shakespeare and a highly regarded dramatist in his own right, often drew upon his extensive knowledge of Classical literature and his experiences as a translator of Homer. His exposure to the conflicts of the Elizabethan court and his engagement in philosophical and theological discourses significantly influenced his work. "Bussy D'Ambois" serves not only as a gripping narrative but also as a reflection of Chapman'Äôs intellectual endeavors, providing insight into the dualities of man and the stark realities of revenge. For readers interested in the depths of human emotion and the multifaceted nature of morality in literature, Chapman'Äôs "Bussy D'Ambois" is an essential read. This dramatic work offers a compelling examination of the human condition that resonates with timeless relevance, making it a standout in the canon of early modern drama.

    When the British Government turn down a revolutionary weapons system in favour of the new Euro fighter they don't realise the wrath their decision will cause. The only radar system capable of detecting the new Thor's Hammer is the experimental Spyglass system being transported on a cruise liner commanded by ex-Navy Captain Eric Swanson. Martin Westfarland, designer of Thor's Hammer, decides to teach the British Government a lesson by sinking the liner and destroying Spyglass before passing Thor's Hammer onto the Iraqis who plan to use it to deliver a deadly bio-weapon to the west. Through a series of action-filled events, Swanson and Squadron Leader Gerry Denton are brought together to thwart the terrorist attack, while the SAS are assigned to locate and destroy the chemical lab in the Syrian Desert, which created the virus. Unfortunately the virus has already been loaded onto Thor's Hammer. Thus it falls to Denton to fly the Typhoon Euro fighter against the faster and stealthier Thor's Hammer before it can deliver its deadly payload.
