Prophet Jonah by Hugh Martin
Who protects the sheep from the wolves? Another wolf.Will Kane suffers from PTSD via combat and personal trauma and isn't playing with a full deck. But the cards he can play are usually aces; and sometimes jokers.New York City. 1977. Ex-Green Beret William Kane has crossed the line he vowed never to: killing. But for every action there is a reaction and there are forces after him for revenge, chief among them the IRA. The CIA hasn't forgotten about him either after his involvement in covert ops in Vietnam.There is an elite team of IRA soldiers in New York City and they've gotten their hands on some powerful weaponry. What is their target? When will they strike?As the long hot summer of 1977 drags on and the Bronx burns, Kane does some burning of his own, unraveling secrets from his past and helping those who need his particular brand of justice while tracking the terrorists.His problem: where is his new line?Who can he really trust?
Hugh Martin is a graduate of Muskingum University and completed his MFA at Arizona State in May, 2012. He served six years in the Army National Guard as an M1A1 Tanker and spent 11 months in Iraq. His poetry centers on the narratives that crossed his path as a soldier, with a goal to make each section vivid and strong enough to give the reader a clear idea of what each soldier is like as a human being. Martin's work has appeared in CONSEQUENCE Magazine, Mid-American Review, Nashville Review, and is forthcoming in Gargoyle, Third Coast, and the American Poetry Review. His chapbook, So, How Was the War? (Kent State UP, 2010) was published by the Wick Poetry Center, and was selected as part of the 7th Avenue Streetscape Series in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. In the summer of 2011 he taught introductory creative writing classes at the National University of Singapore. He will be a Stegner Fellow at Stanford University in the fall of 2012.
