'A Fresh Tale From A Fresh, Accomplished Writer' -- Thomas Keneally, author of Schindler’s ListThrough the release of Freedom of Information documents, including a sailor’s journal, details of the 'Fuji Jiken' nuclear weapon incident are unveiled within The Siren Sea: In 1977, while playing chess, two sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS Midway entertain the idea of how to get a nuclear weapon past security -- as the system is set up to keep someone from getting in, not out. However, their game turns serious after several traumatizing mishaps, and they commit to taking a W57 nuclear warhead off the ship in Yokosuka, Japan for humanitarian reasons. They plan to take the warhead to Mt. Fuji, notify the press, and become heroes. The Siren Sea is work of fiction that will keep readers captivated to the very end.  About the Author: Brian R. Pellar is the author of the non-fiction book Moby-Dick and Melville’s Anti-Slavery Allegory (Palgrave Macmillan, 2017). He has also published six papers on the Origins of the Alphabet in the academic journal Sino-Platonic Papers (SPP 196, SPP 219, SPP 246, SPP 263, SPP 296, and SPP 328). He is also an artist and has a life-size figurative bronze sculpture, Form No. 2, permanently installed in the Chancellor’s Rose Garden at UC Irvine. He also designed UC Irvine’s anteater-head ceremonial graduation mace. After serving four years in the US Navy -- with two years aboard the aircraft carrier USS Midway (CV-41) in Japan -- he attended UC Irvine as an undergraduate in 1983 and a graduate student in their MFA program in fiction in 1994.
