Bradman’s Invincibles
The inside story of the epic 1948 Ashes Tour. Inside account of one of the greatest cricket tours of all time and the unique characters who played. In 2008, Australia celebrates two important anniversaries. It will be 60 years since the triumphant ‘Invincibles’ Ashes tour of England, and 100 years since the birth of Sir Donald Bradman. Here at last is the definitive account of that amazing tour. It is very much an ‘inside account’: Roland Perry conducted long, in-depth interviews with Sir Donald while writing his biography some years ago, and now writes of them for the first time. In addition, Roland Perry has interviewed many of the surviving team members. Much more than an account of a series of cricket matches, this is also a portrait of a collection of great characters - all different, but all making a unique contribution. This incredible combination of sportsmen won 34 matches in a row over one gruelling summer. They were truly great, and they were captained by the best cricketer the world has ever seen. Bradman’s Invincibles is the story of what they did, and how they did it.
In the Dark
A Deadly Crash - A rainy night in south London. A gun is fired into a car which swerves on to the pavement and ploughs into a bus stop. It seems that a chilling gang initiation has cost an innocent victim their life. But the reality is far more sinister…
A Dangerous Quest - One life is wiped out and three more are changed forever: the young man whose finger was on the trigger; an ageing gangster planning a deadly revenge, and the pregnant woman who struggles desperately to uncover the truth. Two weeks away from giving birth, how will she deal with a world where death is an occupational hazard?
A Shocking Twist - In a city where violence can be random or meticulously planned, where teenage gangs clash with career criminals and where loyalty is paid for in blood, anything is possible. Secrets are uncovered as fast as bodies, and the story’s final twist is as breathtakingly surprising as they come.
The Last Oracle
Sigma Force must battle a group of rogue scientists who’ve unleashed a diabolical project that could mean the extinction of mankind, in this superb new thriller from the “New York Times”-bestselling author of “Black Order” and “The Judas Strain.”
Robert Ludlum’s the Bourne Sanction
For Jason Bourne, forever caught between two identities - mild-mannered linguist David Webb and lethal super-spy - life can never be ordinary. But when his old mentor, Professor Spector, installs him as head of the comparative linguists department at Georgetown University, it seems he may have found a measure of normalcy at last. Until a hitherto unknown terrorist organisation comes up on Central Intelligence radar, with a plan to execute a major attack on the east coast of the United States within a week. Without sufficient hard intelligence to back them up and with competing intelligence organisations keen to undermine new director of Central Intelligence Veronica Hart, they have no choice but to employ a rogue agent capable of hunting down a shadowy terrorist mastermind on his own - Jason Bourne. Suddenly Bourne is plunged into the deadliest and most tangled operation of his double life: pursuing the head of the Black Legion - a murderous terror group with its roots in the darkest days of World War II - while his own side tries to take him down, and all the while an assassin as brilliant and damaged as himself is getting closer by the minute
Bandit Roads: Into the Lawless Heart of Mexico
There are many ways to die in the Sierra Madre, a notorious nine-hundred-mile mountain range in northern Mexico where AK-47s are fetish objects, the law is almost non-existent and power lies in the hands of brutal drug mafias. Thousands of tons of opium and marijuana are produced there every year. Richard Grant thought it would be a good idea to travel the length of the Sierra Madre and write a book about it. He was warned before he left that he would be killed. But driven by what he calls ‘an unfortunate fascination’ for this mysterious region, Grant sets off anyway. In a remarkable piece of investigative writing, he evokes a sinister, surreal landscape of lonely mesas, canyons sometimes deeper than the Grand Canyon, hostile villages and an outlaw culture where homicide is the most common cause of death and grandmothers sell cocaine. Finally his luck runs out and he finds himself fleeing for his life, pursued by men who would murder a stranger in their territory ‘to please the trigger finger’.
Leadbelly
‘Jason Moran was in his blue Mitsubishi van when he was gunned down with his friend, Pasquale Bardora, in front of up to 250 people in the car park of the Cross Keys Hotel. At least five children, including Moran’s twin girl and boy, aged six, and his brother’s own fatherless children were in the van when the gunman fired. While murdering two men in front of hundreds of people might, at first, seem wreckless, to the killer, it made perfect sense…’ From the authors that brought you Mark Bradon Read’s Chopper, comes a true account of the most bloodcurdling gang violence you will ever read. For the last ten years a war has raged on once safe suburban streets that has stunned the world. The killings have been particularly callous and brutal: mothers gunned down with their babies sleeping beside them, fathers killed in front of their children and couples shot down in cold blood. This is true crime at its most bloody, surreal and terrifying.
