In a modern world, religion and science are often at odds. People of science believe only what they can prove, while people of faith believe only what their religion ordains. Yet, both science and religion agree on one thing. Monsters and magic do not exist. Such things are for fairy tales and horror movies. Or are they?For close to a thousand years, a secret war has raged between knights and savage beasts bent on consuming human flesh and taking dominion over our planet.These brave knights' numbers have dwindled, and now the fate of all humanity is balanced on a knife's edge.The portal sealing our realm from the Black Bloods' homeworld is all that is stopping the monsters from finally winning the war, but only as long as it remains shut.Quinn Longthorn, last of his line and High Knight of The Enclave, has dedicated his life to eradicating the Black Blood threat, but his order is failing. The Red, the ancient power fueling the knights is all but gone, and without it, the knights are merely men. Unless something changes, defeat is inevitable, and the Knights of The Enclave will become history.However, The Red has not failed yet, and while it exists, there is hope.Longthorn is a heady mixture of science fiction and fantasy, combining both genres seamlessly. This book is action-packed, but also examines the friendships, love, and loyalty of those involved in fighting a horrific foe. It hypothesizes about a modern world, one heavily reliant on technology, being thrown back into a mystical time. An age where monsters hunt humans and evil omnipotent beings grave our fruitful planet. It speaks of heroism and sacrifice. Bravery and stoicism. It reflects on all the best qualities of humanity and leaves one feeling hopeful.

Saint Bobby and the Barbarians is the compelling story of a year in the life of a legendary coach and a leading college football team, as well as the first truly inside look at big-time college football. With the complete cooperation of Bowden himself, author Ben Brown's unprecedented access to all aspects of the FSU program has helped him create an intimate portrait of how a top college coach steers his athletes and associates through the perils of a competitive schedule. Bobby Bowden - who turned the Seminoles into one of the best teams in the nation without a hint of the scandal that plagues so many other programs - preferred the role of underdog for motivating his troops. How would he keep his favored team psyched for the less challenging competitors? How far could he push young players who must balance schoolwork against their pro ambitions and must often play with excruciating physical pain? What could Bowden do to insulate them from the pressure of demanding fans and boosters? In week twelve of the season, the No. 1-rated Seminoles hosted arch rival Miami for what some writers were calling the Game of the Century. But a loss in the game's closing seconds dashed the hopes of Seminoles players and coaches alike. By season's end, star quarterback Casey Weldon would forfeit any reasonable chance he might have had to win the Heisman Trophy; star running back Amp Lee would face academic expulsion; Eric Turral would be suspended from the squad for skipping practice; and offensive tackle Kevin Mancini would fight a potentially career-ending knee injury. Bobby Bowden's early fear would turn out to have been more than justified. As an intimate journey into the mind of Coach Bowden himself, Saint Bobby and the Barbarians is much more than the anatomy of a season. It is an insightful look at the impact today's top college sports teams can have on all whose lives they touch.

Ben Brown's political thriller takes us behind the doors of Number Ten in May 1940 during three pivotal days in British History when, extraordinarily, giving in to Hitler was seriously considered.Having urgently assembled the British war cabinet, the new Prime Minister is confronted with an intense game of political chess as he tries to persuade peace treaty supporters, including Neville Chamberlain, that Britain must not concede. Divided on whether to negotiate terms through Mussolini or escalate the battle against fascism alone, one man has to make a monumental decision, which will shape the future of the free world.Three Days in May was presented by Bill Kenwright and first performed at Theatre Royal, Windsor, in August 2011.
