Ten thousand years have passed since the Primarch Horus turned to Chaos and betrayed his father, the Emperor of Mankind, plunging the galaxy into ruinous civil war. For one hundred centuries the Imperium has endured xenos invasion, internal dissent, and the perfidious attentions of the dark gods of the warp. The Emperor sits immobile upon the Golden Throne of Terra, a psychic bastion against infernal powers. It is His will alone that lights the Astronomican, binding together the Imperium, yet not one word has He uttered in all that time. Without His guidance, mankind has strayed far from the path of enlightenment. The bright ideals of the Age of Wonder have withered and died. To be alive in this time is a terrible fate, where an existence of grinding servitude is the best that can be hoped for, and a quick death is seen as the kindest mercy. As the Imperium continues its inevitable decline, Abaddon, last true son of the Primarch Horus, and now Warmaster in his stead, has reached the climax of a plan millennia in the making, tearing reality open across the width of the galaxy and unleashing forces unheard of. At last it seems, after centuries of valiant struggle, mankind’s doom is at hand. Into this darkness a pale shaft of light penetrates. The Primarch Roboute Guilliman has been wakened from deathly slumber by alien sorcery and arcane science. Returning to Terra, he has resolved to set right this dire imbalance, to defeat Chaos once and for all, and to restart the Emperor’s grand plan for humanity. But first, the Imperium must be saved. The galaxy is split in twain. On one side, Imperium Sanctus, beleaguered but defiant. On the other, Imperium Nihilus, thought lost to the night. A mighty crusade has been called to take back the Imperium and restore its glory. All mankind stands ready for the greatest conflict of the age. Failure means extinction, and the path to victory leads only to war. This is the era Indomitus.

To the walls! The enemy is coming!’ Captain Messinius, as he was then, led his Space Marines across the Penitent’s Square high up on the Lion’s Gate. ‘Another attack! Repel them! Send them back to the warp!’ Thousands of red-skinned monsters born of fear and sin scaled the outer ramparts, fury and murder incarnate. The mortals they faced quailed. It took the heart of a Space Marine to stand against them without fear, and the Angels of Death were in short supply. ‘Another attack, move, move! To the walls!’ They came in the days after the Avenging Son returned, emerging from nothing, eight legions strong, bringing the bulk of their numbers to bear against the chief entrance to the Imperial Palace. A decapitation strike like no other, and it came perilously close to success. Messinius’ Space Marines ran to the parapet edging the Penitent’s Square. On many worlds, the square would have been a plaza fit to adorn the centre of any great city. Not on Terra. On the immensity of the Lion’s Gate, it was nothing, one of hundreds of similarly huge spaces. The word ‘gate’ did not suit the scale of the cityscape. The Lion’s Gate’s bulk marched up into the sky, step by titanic step, until it rose far higher than the mountains it had supplanted. The gate had been built by the Emperor Himself, they said. Myths detailed the improbable supernatural feats required to raise it. They were lies, all of them, and belittled the true effort needed to build such an edifice. Though the Lion’s Gate was made to His design and by His command, the soaring monument had been constructed by mortals, with mortal hands and mortal tools. Messinius wished that had been remembered. For men to build this was far more impressive than any godly act of creation. If men could remember that, he believed, then perhaps they would remember their own strength. The uncanny may not have built the gate, but it threatened to bring it down. Messinius looked over the rampart lip, down to the lower levels thousands of feet below and the spread of the Anterior Barbican. Upon the stepped fortifications of the Lion’s Gate was armour of every colour and the blood of every loyal primarch. Dozens of regiments stood alongside them. Aircraft filled the sky. Guns boomed from every quarter. In the churning redness on the great roads, processional ways so huge they were akin to prairies cast in rockcrete, were flashes of gold where the Emperor’s Custodian Guard battled. The might of the Imperium was gathered there, in the palace where He dwelt. There seemed moments on that day when it might not be enough.

    1 1904 THE SEA WOLF Jack London 2 London, Jack (1876-1916) - A self-educated American adventure novelist who was a sailor, a tramp, and a gold miner before he began his writing career. His work had constant themes of survival and compassion for the underdog. Sea Wolf (1904) - The adventures of Humphrey Van Weydon, a ship-wrecked literary critic, and his rescuer, Wolf Larsen, the ruthless captain of the Ghost. The two main characters are often said to represent the opposing sides of London’s own personality in this highly regarded tale of the sea. 3 Table Of Contents CHAPTER ONE . 4 CHAPTER TWO . 11 CHAPTER THREE . 17 CHAPTER FOUR . 26 CHAPTER FIVE . 31 CHAPTER SIX . 38 CHAPTER SEVEN . 49 CHAPTER EIGHT . 52 CHAPTER NINE . 58 CHAPTER TEN . 65 CHAPTER ELEVEN . .. 70 CHAPTER TWELVE . 74 CHAPTER THIRTEEN . 80 CHAPTER FOURTEEN . 84 CHAPTER FIFTEEN . 90 CHAPTER SIXTEEN . 94 CHAPTER SEVENTEEN . 100 CHAPTER EIGHTEEN . 111 CHAPTER NINETEEN . 117 CHAPTER TWENTY . 122 CHAPTER TWENTY ONE . 128 CHAPTER TWENTY TWO . 132 CHAPTER TWENTY THREE . 135 CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR . 139 CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE . 145 CHAPTER TWENTY SIX . 153 CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN . 166 CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT . 172 CHAPTER TWENTY NINE . 178 CHAPTER THIRTY . 183 CHAPTER THIRTY ONE . 189 CHAPTER THIRTY TWO . 192 CHAPTER THIRTY THREE . 199 CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR . 204 CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE . 208 CHAPTER THIRTY SIX . 213 CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN . 221 CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT . 228 CHAPTER THIRTY NINE . 231 4 CHAPTER ONE I SCARCELY KNOW WHERE to begin, though I sometimes facetiously place the cause of it all to Charley Furuseth’s credit.

    Film Noir—Purveyor of Cold War Anxiety A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Matthew J. Gladman March 2011 © 2011 Matthew J. Gladman. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Film Noir—Purveyor of Cold War Anxiety by MATTHEW J. GLADMAN has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences by Robert W. Mikitsch Professor of English Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 Abstract GLADMAN, MATTHEW J., Ph.D. March 2011, English Film Noir—Purveyor of Cold War Anxiety (131 pp.). Director of Dissertation: Robert W. Miklitsch. This dissertation is a tripartite creative writing project consisting of an essay on film noir and a feature-length screenplay (film noir) based on a short story I wrote (pulp fiction). This unique project permitted me to pursue several passions simultaneously while creating a cohesive study of film noir narrative culminating in the feature-length screenplay. The challenge was studying various interrelationships of the arts from multiple perspectives and finding an ideal project for the culmination of my Individual Interdisciplinary Doctorate with an emphasis in cinema. The degree included defining a multiple-disciplinary field of education and acquiring training in the fields of theory, criticism, and practicum as they apply to the narrative in the following forms—cinema, drama, print media (literary and journalistic), and, in this specific instance, post-World War II American cinema. Extensive film analysis is employed in my reading of the 1954 Elia Kazan film On the Waterfront and Robert Aldrich’s 1955 film Kiss Me Deadly.
