Fahrenheit 451 Book 3 FAHRENHEIT POSTDATE 2025 A NIGHTMARE QUARTET OF THE FUTURE OF EUROPE BOOK THREE: THE DIRE WOLF FENRIR BY J.E.F. ROSE Text copyright © 2017 J.E.F. Rose All Rights Reserved June 2017 - Version 1.0 Digital book produced by Christopher Freyer Dedicated to Major Law A good Son A good Husband A good Father A good Grandfather A good Mustang Marine A good Patriot A good Christian A good American And the incarnation of the West and why it is the Best AUTHOR’S FORWARD This fan fiction is a free non-profit Amazon e-book and a fan tribute to ‘The Time Machine’, ‘David Copperfield’,‘Soylent Green’, and the iconic book ‘Fahrenheit 451’, combined with the Myths of Ragnarok. This fan fiction cross over tribute is set in 2025 Eurabia which envisions Crown Prince Rudolph’s beloved Europe and Great Britain as nightmare states if events presently occurring in Europe and the UK continue to their tragic conclusion. This is a dojin transformational crossover tribute and reinterprets the great masterpieces in a frightening new context while acknowledging the original genius of the original creators. While based on research and present day events this is a speculative work of crossover fiction and imagination projecting just one hypothetical vision of the near future. Any names, characters, places, and incidents are the products of the author’s imagination and any resemblance to actual persons or places or events living or dead are entirely coincidental. TABLE OF CONTENTS Author’s Forward Table Of Contents Chapter One Chapter Two Chapter Three Chapter Four Chapter Five Other books by J.E.F. Rose CHAPTER ONE The fireman desperately marched down the violent war zone formally known as Piccadilly. Desperate to try to make the second rendezvous. Desperate as he wiped blood off his face and arm before feeling more blood trickling down his side inside his uniform. Blood and cold sweat mixing. His face clammy despite the foul cold wind. One black gloved hand unconsciously stroked some precious thing secreted away in a cunning pocket inside his sinister black tunic over his heart. Then the gloved hand held the butt of his pistol lodged inside the flap of his jacket. But by the rapidly vanishing sunset on the far horizon and the growing shadows of twilight he knew the odds were against him. “If only! If only! Perhaps Marlowe wanted to extract me! If only! If only!” But the livid smear on the far horizon said he was running out of time. More helicopters roared across the rapidly darkening sky. He ducked behind another burned out bus as machine gun fire peppered the foul street as if hail. Sewage and garbage spattering. Blotted corpses exploding as bullets punctured the gross black flesh. Starving migrants screamed as they were hit by random fire. Rolling in the rotten filth as they bled out. Other migrants huddled on the filthy sidewalks tried to crawl into the gutted out store fronts only to be greeted by other migrants with sticks and crude clubs. Every hiding place already taken as the growing darkness unleashed criminal anarchy. In the far distance there was a cry of a Feral. “God! My blood will draw the Ferals right to me!” The fireman paused and panted, his starvation, fear, and pain mixing to make him wobbly. “Jasper was trying to warn me to find a hole to hide in!” He stared at a gutted church. There were shadows moving inside of it. He flinched. It was odd. Usually the gutted churches were abandoned. The Muslims avoided them even to inflict spiteful desecration because rebellious Cockneys deliberately sacrificed their beloved dogs so their bones would guard eternally the desecrated places with the loyalty of death which Muslims interpreted as taboo Najis. And now the Cockney Cockroaches were notorious Morlocks. So they would not be there. The Baby Boomers discovered their long neglected faith too late to dare to practice a banned religion. And the Identitarians and Generation Zers were away in Wales waging war. As for the Snowflakes. They were mostly dead. And they had been raised to hate Christianity, Great Britain, and themselves. So who were the shadows moving in the shadows? The fireman’s skin pricked. But the shadows were deepening. The shadows in the shadows sinister. Not ‘D’s cowering. Something worse. Something more dangerous. He strained his ears to hear any clink of a gun bolt. Did he hear it? The clink of a gun bolt? He could not be sure. But his skin pricked. “I might still get there in time. The second rendezvous. It would be my only hope to survive this night!” So the fireman resumed his desperate march toward the rapidly receding sunset in the darkening sky as lengthening shadows crept toward him as if fingers of death. As the fireman marched away the shadows in the ruined church resumed their brisk efforts. Some checking their guns. Some double checking their ammo. Others checking their maps to confirm the location of the targets. London had changed drastically and the Morlocks had been underground so long they felt as if they were invading a strange city rather than preparing to reclaim their capital. Another Morlock watched the shadows deepened. Then the Morlock moved into the growing shadow and heaved up the manhole cover. More Morlocks climbed out to slip into the ruins of the fire gutted church. Some curious to see the surface after so long. Others curious to see the surface for the first time. After the last Morlock emerged from the depths the officer gave the signal and a Cockney Cockroach inside the manhole briskly heaved the manhole cover back into place and secured it. Then the officer slipped back into the ruins. Captain Knoll Sterling prepared to wage war when the Chimes tolled at Midnight. “That half starved fireman in his dirty uniform who hovered before the church looked so familiar. Why can’t I place him? A sad, starved, dirty, gaunt face creature. His thin shoulders hunched over, hugging his bony chest. One hand stroking something inside his dirty black tunic as if something precious. But what could he have which could be precious? He looked so starved I doubt he has anything except his old banger of a gun such as used to be issued to firemen when they used to be the elite. Obviously not elite anymore considering his ragged and dirty condition. Even his helmet so battered as it dangled from one arm. His huge dark eyes so desperate in his prematurely aged face. As if a lost child. It is true then. The Eloi are starving. Their pleasure domes are crumbling away. Their arrogance is evaporating. Their conceit as the ‘Best of Peoples’ is unraveling. I am sure I know him. Yet I can’t recognize him. The only fireman I ever meet personally was that extraordinary kid Jasper Sylvester invited to spelunker the Guildhall during our grand adventure kidnaping the first and last Paki mayor of London to hold over for trial for high treason. Well! The chap was not exactly invited to our shindig. Rather, he invited himself! What an extraordinary youth he was! There to save Gog and Magog! And bland as could be to find himself in a lost Roman temple buried deep underground As if that sort of adventure would happen to anyone What a surprise it was to see his face pop up at the secret temple of Minerva. What a tale that was I wonder if he is still alive? That audacious young Apostate? .......” *** *** The madwoman held her gun to her bony chest as she paced back and forth. “By the pricking of my thumb something evil this way comes! Why do I think I am going to die tonight?..... Meanwhile, Mr. Mole paced nervously before MIMIR as the massive network of cobbled together computers crunched intel. “Where are you Gjallarhorn? Where are you? Where are you? Will the Sooty Crow screech out the Fall of the Gods? The Death of the West? Odin’s Decline and Fall? Or else the Rebirth of Albion?....” At the same time the Minister of the Left and the Minister of the Right computers crunched the same intel as they guarded the mysterious domed Japanese garden. Sentient Robots silently paced between the ultra modern stainless steel bastion located deep underground and the wondrous organic garden under glass on the surface in which one of the last Organics dozed in her throne- like wheel chair. The Sentient Robots were busy using gaming algorithms to project the probability of survival, victory, defeat, or else annihilation. “The Red Rooster. The Golden Rooster. And the Sooty Crow” one particular Robot mused as he watched the two key computers calculate the survival or else the destruction of Japan. Instead of a Noh Mask and exquisitely rich couture of courtly Japan the Robot wore a simple black Samurai tunic and no mask to conceal his robotic features. As the other Robots fluttered as if butterflies in their large billowy sleeves, he reclined on the wooden bridge between two worlds. One robotic hand casually scratching his steel visage as if scratching a stubble of a beard. “Why don’t we just throw dice to see if it is Ragnarok or else Ragnarokkr?” At the same time Brigadier General Narcissi prepared to move his soldiers from their holding position into the most dangerous position on the surface of occupied London. He studied the map. “The location is impossible to defend. Yet the human sacrifices who perished there requires us to risk all in a desperate attempt to save it.

Stepwells are unique to India; the earliest rudimentary wells date from around the 4th century CE, and eventually they were built throughout the country, particularly in the arid western regions. Stepwell construction evolved so that, by the 11th century, they were amazingly complex feats of architecture and engineering, not only providing water all year long but also serving as meeting and gathering places, refuges and retreats. The journalist Victoria Lautman first encountered stepwells three decades ago, and now, a seasoned traveller to India, she has devoted several years to documenting these fascinating but largely unknown structures before they disappear.

Innewly published Land Registry data revealed 4 million km of networks and telecommunications lines underneath London, many of which were secretly constructed by the Post Office, British Telecom and the Ministry of Defence. These mysterious Cold Underground London: Travels Beneath the City Streets tunnel systems and underground chambers, which number in the hundreds, have been a source of fascination for decades. Yet, until recently, authorities remained conspicuously secretive about them, many owned by the Ministry of Defence and never publicly acknowledged. It was built to Underground London: Travels Beneath the City Streets machinery and communications from the threat of atom bombs in the Cold War, and the bunker emerges into the basement of the Old War Office, once used by Winston Churchill. The two-tunnel shelter was extended by the addition of four tunnels at right angles to the originals to become the termination point of the first transatlantic telephone cable, and was spacious enough to boast a staff restaurant, tea bar, games room and licensed bar. Its bar claimed to be the deepest in the UK, located approximately 60m below street level under Chancery Lane tube station. While there is no public access to any of these newly uncovered tunnels, there is one underground bunker in Whitehall that the public can see for themselves: the Cabinet War Roomsopened to visitors in Guy Shrubsole, who mapped this Land Registry data and revealed some of these secret tunnels on his blog Who Owns England and later in his eponymous bookwent down the tunnels at High Holborn with the help of some urban explorers while doing research.

  • Luxified Troglodytism? Mapping the Subterranean Geographies Of
    Title: Luxified Troglodytism? Mapping the Subterranean Geographies of Plutocratic London Authors: Sophie Baldwin, Elizabeth Holroyd and Roger Burrows Emails: [email protected]; [email protected]; and [email protected] Abstract: Elite residential basement developments across the seven most affluent London boroughs between 2008 and 2017 are mapped; some 4,650 basements were granted permission over the decade. (26 words) Bios: Sophie Baldwin and Elizabeth Holroyd both graduated from the MArch at Newcastle University in 2018. Roger Burrows is Professor of Cities at Newcastle University. His most recent book is the coauthored (with Richard Webber) The Predictive Postcode; The Geodemographic Classification of British Society (Sage, 2018). 1 Ups and Downs The history of London has long been entwined with expansions of financial capital and the machinations of global plutocrats and their more proximate counterparts.1 But what has happened in the decade since the global financial crisis is without precedent; London has been transformed into a city for global capital rather than one designed to meet the needs and aspirations of the majority of its denizens.2 The global figures on the distribution of wealth are, of course, well known and stark. Three sets of figures will perhaps suffice here. First, whereas in 2010 Oxfam calculated that it would take the combined wealth of the richest 388 people in the world to be equivalent to the combined wealth of the poorest 50 percent (some 3.7 billion), by 2016 it was calculated to be just

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract Rethinking Urban Space in Contemporary British Writing argues that the prose literature of its featured authors offers a unique forum through which to perceive and account for the multifarious agency of urban space. Chapter one examines the limitations of using the Marxist spatial theory of Henri Lefebvre, widely adopted by literary scholars, to account for the widespread appearance of abandoned, subterranean and transient spaces in contemporary British writing. The thesis then develops new ways of reading which, unlike Lefebvrean theory, allow such spaces to emerge as affective and narrative agents, shaping narrative form and action. Chapter two focuses upon reading abandoned spaces in the work of Iain Sinclair and Cheshire-born author Nicholas Royle; chapter three examines the agency of the subterranean city-space in narratives by Neil Gaiman, Tobias Hill and Conrad Williams; and chapter four interrogates the agency exerted by the hotel space in contemporary hotel novels by Ali Smith and Monica Ali.

  • Scavenged Identities and Doppelgänger Spaces in Neil Gaiman’S Coraline, Neverwhere, and the Graveyard Book
    OTHERS, DOUBLES, MIRRORS, SELVES: SCAVENGED IDENTITIES AND DOPPELGÄNGER SPACES IN NEIL GAIMAN’S CORALINE, NEVERWHERE, AND THE GRAVEYARD BOOK Lucia OPREANU “Ovidius” University of Constanţa Abstract: The paper aims to examine the journeys undertaken by the protagonists of Coraline, Neverwhere and The Graveyard Book in an attempt to highlight the extent to which Neil Gaiman’s prose not only reshapes the uncanny and challenges the conventions of fantasy and horror alike, but also adds new dimensions to the doppelgänger paradigm. Far from being confined to the familiar premise of the ghostly other, Gaiman’s doubles range from surrogate parents and monstrous necrophages to intertextual impostors and, more importantly, extend beyond the level of individual identity into the realm of architecture and landscape. By focusing on salient details of Coraline Jones’s encounter with the Other Mother, Richard Mayhew’s descent into London Below and Nobody Owens’ unconventional upbringing, the analysis aims to draw attention to the numerous ways in which the three texts engage in doppelgänger scenarios, not only featuring stolen identities and mirror worlds but also employing a wide variety of intertextual strategies to cannibalize, recycle and recreate familiar plots and tropes whilst steadfastly reinforcing the value of authenticity. Keywords: alterity; border(land); doppelgänger; identity; intertextuality; uncanny. Introduction Acknowledgement of the ability to use the “wonders and horrors” behind mysterious doors or “beyond the world of dreaming” (Cardin 379) as the premise of a brand of fantasy that is at once distinctly unique and strangely familiar constitutes a common thread of the numerous accolades drawn by Neil Gaiman’s contributions to prose and graphic literature alike.

Every picture in this book was taken without permission from anybody. Period.By Gregg GWhile I am not a big fan of Coffee-Table books, this one I did like. The book does an excellent job of educating its reader about the monumental structures underneath London. It's comprised mostly of large, beautiful pictures, a few wonderful drawings, and marginal text. What little text there is, however, is both useful and insightful. Essentially, a few blokes from some counterculture spelunking groups decided to pool their resources and publish some pictures of the London underground. Not just the tubes, but the sewers, the hidden rivers and culverts, forgotten and abandoned railway stations, utility passages and storage areas, WWII bunkers, and even the newest subway digs deep, deep underneath everything else previously mentioned. They did this completely illegally. Only authorized persons are allowed in these places, but these people went down there, at their own personal risk of safety and security, because they felt that the people whose tax dollars pay for these PUBLIC works, deserve to see what it is that they are paying for.

  • “Underground Built Heritage”: a Theoretical Approach for the Definition of an International Class
    heritage Article “Underground Built Heritage”: A Theoretical Approach for the Definition of an International Class Roberta Varriale Institute for Studies on the Mediterranean, National Research Council of Italy (CNR), 80134 Naples, Italy; [email protected] Abstract: Although nowadays sustainable reuse of underground cultural heritage has become a global trend, as yet Underground Built Heritage (UBH) is not regarded as a distinctive class eligible for protection. After a critical overview of previous attempts at defining underground heritage by associations such as UIS, SSI and UNESCO, this article updates the definition of the new-born class of UBH on the basis of three main criteria: position (by introducing the concept of Geographical Zero Level), manmade character, and cultural relevance, both material and immaterial. Building on the outputs of several projects devoted to this topic and the results of academic expertise in this field, the author proposes a new dedicated methodological approach consisting of a chart for the classification of artefacts as historical UBH and a strategy for their reuse based on a four-level scale: Re-inventing, Re-introducing, Re-interpreting and Re-building. Keywords: underground built heritage; definition; classification; reuse Citation: Varriale, R. “Underground 1. Introduction Built Heritage”: A Theoretical Although today, regeneration of Underground Built Heritage (UBH) for sustainable Approach for the Definition of an reuse is becoming increasingly popular, being the focus of several internationally funded International Class. Heritage 2021, 4, projects, no generally accepted common definition has been proposed so far. The lack of 1092–1118. https://doi.org/10.3390/ such a definition appears even more regrettable when compared with the clearly formulated heritage4030061 definition of a cognate class, namely, Underwater Cultural Heritage (UCH).
