Including insights into story development and D'ni mythology and featuring every stage of visual and technical development, as well as the cutting-edge computer graphics that are seen in the games, From Myst to Riven illuminates in rich detail the inner workings of the inspired minds responsible for what critics have called a "contagious multimedia sensation."

    The Jack Ford Story NEWFOUNDLAND POW IN NAGASAKI (book). In 1942, Jack Ford was captured in Malaya by Japanese troops and somehow survived three years of hellish treatment as a slave labourer in Japan, only to narrowly escape death from the American atomic bomb attack on Nagasaki. His remarkable saga is well told by Jack Fitzgerald, a Newfoundland journalist and radio broadcaster. When World War II began, Ford was a 21-year-old mechanic for the Newfoundland Railway, who in those pre-Confederation days felt dual loyalty to both Britain and Newfoundland, so he eagerly volunteered for service with the Royal Air Force. He was in far-off Singapore when the place was overwhelmed by Japanese forces in 1941. Surrender of the British garrison pitched more than 95,000 prisoners of war into a three-year-long nightmare of relentlessly cruel treatment by Japanese soldiers who inflicted beatings, torture, and starvation amid a regimen of exhausting physical labour. Often told in Fords own words, Fitzgerald relates Fords dreadful existence in a matter-of-fact style that somehow makes his experiences all the more harrowing. For most of this period, Ford was kept in a prison camp, allowed out each day only to toil in a naval shipyard, where he and his fellow prisoners had no knowledge of how the war was progressing. When the A-bomb exploded over Nagasaki on August 9, 1945, all the POWs witnessed a bright flash of light, a distant thunder of noise, and a billowing mushroom cloud. It was the signal for their joyous liberation soon afterwards.
