In 2011, the Nigerian government brokered a $1.3 billion deal between Royal Dutch Shell, Eni S.p.A. of Italy and Malabu Oil & Gas Ltd of Nigeria for one of Africa's richest oil fields ("OPL 245"). The transaction—finalised after thirteen years of mutual suspicion, bitter litigation, emotional blackmail and dirty intrigues—has caught global attention and attracted criminal proceedings. The middlemen are now in jail and officials of the international oil companies are facing trial in an Italian court over alleged corruption. Mohammed Bello Adoke was the Nigerian Attorney-General who gave the legal advice on the complicated transaction. He saved his country from an impending $2 billion award in favour of Shell by the International Centre for the Settlement of International Disputes (ICSID), an organ of the World Bank. But he has been hounded, victimised, scandalised and forced into exile for his service to his fatherland. In recounting his five-year experience in government, Bello Adoke reveals the details of the billion-dollar oil deal and unveils the web of local and international intrigues, deceit, lies and conspiracy around an avoidable scandal.

A defecting Russian space scientist, awaiting debrief, is in a Warwickshire safe house that comes under attack by an assassination squad. He escapes with plans for a conspiracy involving key members of secret services across the Western world. The only person he knows in the UK, or could possibly trust, is Pete Armour, the man who was to be his de-briefer. Killed before he can reach safety, he has hidden the secret papers where only Armour could ever find them. Armour becomes the target when he and a female newspaper reporter find themselves thrust together and on the run from at least two secret service agencies and British Intelligence, who seem more hell bent on killing him than helping him. And there is a price to pay. There's always a price to pay. This is the first of the Armour trilogy. A gripping read. Fast-paced, a thriller packed with action, twists and turns.

Born in 1916, Hyacinthe was the youngest child of a Mauritian Family established on the island over several generations. In 1941 he joined the British Army to fight against Nazi Germany. After time spent in army barracks and many adventures in North Africa and Palestine, Lieutenant J.H. Wiehe joined the Special Air Services in March 1945. In July 1944, he was seriously wounded and imprisoned by the Nazis as he and his fellow soldiers were parachuted behind enemy lines onto French soil, near La Ferté-Alais. Hyacinthe narrowly escaped execution while in ennemy hands and could only be repatriated to Britain several months after Liberation. He returned to Mauritius paralysed and seriously incapacitated, proud that he had fulfilled his duty, but devastated at having to renounce his marriage to his beloved fiancée Eda. He had to come to terms with the constant pain that his war wounds inflicted upon him. In the course of his terrible sufferings over many years, he was supported by friends and family but particularly by his mother. However, it is through his affliction that he finds deep meaning to his life in a union with Jesus Christ, prayer allowing him to accept his sufferings and to offer it to God. Hyacinthe died in 1965, considered then and now as a hero and a privileged witness of God's love. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth, his family chose to make his life and times known to a wider public, to share with the world the writing and message of someone affectionately known as Uncle Hyacinthe. This life-affirming memoir shows there can be light in the darkness of grief, and charts Mike's career as a doctor, forensic medical examiner and police surgeon. This is a true story of life, loss and overcoming adversity.

The sudden and violent increase of elephant poaching in the remote Kenya game reserve of Uwingoni threatens its very existence. Those who have devoted themselves to the protection of its precious wildlife seem ill equipped to deal with this new menace. However, the arrival of two young people with no experience of Africa might just prove a turning point. For the first time in his life Harry feels he has found somewhere he really belongs and something he can fight for and believe in. Ana, a journalist escaping the horrors of a different war, brings a fresh insight into the battle against poaching as she struggles with her own internal demons. They soon realise they are up against forces far more powerful and brutal than they could ever have imagined. Foreign investors driven by greed, corrupt government officials and religious fanatics with no boundaries, draw them deeper into a web of evil. Half of all the net profits due to the author will be used to help organisations committed to elephant conservation.

Horror storytelling online has a rich history as detailed and long as the internet itself. Digital Monsters explores many of these narratives and reads them to see what these stories tell us about the internet, about digital communities, and about ourselves. This book seeks to explore the monsters of the virtual world. It will not only detail the narratives but also explore the connections between these monsters and the world outside. It demonstrates what these monsters have to say about the people who write them and draw them, and what they show us about the communal and social words surrounding them. The digital monsters in this book enjoy living in the middle ground between typically considered strict dichotomies. These monsters, which both are and aren't simultaneously, reveal other categories the communities hold dear. These categories, as well as the destruction of categories, are what will be explored through the detailed study of these digital monsters. Studying these narratives will provide us with an understanding of how these narratives relate to the broader horror genre, and what it has to say about the social and cultural contexts it finds itself in.

Butterbugs is becoming somebody. He has come to Hollywood to act, and as an aspiring performer, so far, he is a survivor. His dream persists... though barely. But something's coming. He has had to endure nearly crushing challenges with a tenacity deserving its own kind of award. Perhaps simple luck is all that's needed. It soon appears, from unexpected quarters. And starting there, his ascent begins. Butterbugs is about to be exposed – as actor, as talent, as star. A splash like no other will soon inundate Hollywood. In FORWARD TO GLORY's guise as a four-part epic-noir-satire, EXPOSITION continues the grand procession commenced in TEMPERING. Proudly episodic, unabashedly sensational, it is a saga geared to a seasoned readership eager to embrace a daring narrative with determination and relish. As he advances, Butterbugs is gifted with the assistance of many: Vonda – the superstar, who literally picks him off the street; The Angry Black Priest – the super-artist, who, out of tragedy, teaches him wisdom; Sonny Projector – the super-agent, who sees something exceptional in this intriguing unknown; Old Atrocity – the super-technician, whose cinematic expertise perfectly compliments the actor's unique persona; Cody, Saskia and Justy – women to love, who love him; Pepper and Prairie – whose very existence may be nothing more than shadows on a screen but whose power is projected upon him; and Heatherette – whose reappearance saves his life. The FORWARD TO GLORY Quartet I. Tempering – the Actor's struggles II. Exposition – the Actor's rise III. Apotheosis – the Actor's climax IV. Beyond Fin – the Actor's legend

Have you ever had an incredibly vivid dream? A dream so real that you can feel, taste and smell the world around you? Déjà vu is a feeling which all too clearly tells you that you're going somewhere you've been before, or experiencing something you know has happened to you already. Jacob knew that his weird dreams were much more significant than that. When Jacob suddenly realises that the life he's living isn't his only life, he will have to uncover ancient truths and the schism that changed mankind's history forever. He must determine the point at which the parallel world was created; the world the other version of Jacob inhabits. He must discover who is controlling these split universes and why, before it's too late.

This is it. A guided missile leaves the hand of Jofra Archer and arrows towards you at 90mph. You must score two runs to win the World Cup. You miscue it and England triumph instead, a ground-breaking moment that captivates a global audience. Except you're not playing to 700 million people, you're actually at home, immersed in virtual reality. Technology is transforming sport, personalising fan experiences, and transforming sport's economics. Technology is also radically altering sporting performance, sharpening preparation, training and skills, and reinventing team tactics, as analysts drill down into the data revealing exactly where Jasprit Bumrah is going to bowl or where Jos Buttler is going to hit his next boundary. Technology's transformative impact has revolutionized the sports business, with a resulting increase in broadcast and digital media rights, enabling players like Virat Kohli or Ben Stokes to earn $2m for six weeks work. The Indian Premier League (IPL) has been at the centre of cricket's reinvention. It has catapulted cricket into the global mainstream, spawning numerous imitators. It is one of only two professional sports leagues in the world, where all franchises are profitable. After only 12 years since launch: the IPL is valued at $6.3bn; accounts for over 30% of global cricket revenues; and over 60% of Indian sports revenues. What lessons can be learnt from its design and the rapid growth of its media rights? How it secures, develops and manages the world's best players? And how the IPL has dealt with governance, ownership and gambling challenges? But now cricket, along with all sports, has been rocked by coronavirus, with IPL season 13 postponed, and the English season decimated. How can the IPL inform cricket's evolution in a post Covid world? What are the imperatives for cricket's 'New Innings'? Award-winning cricket writer and broadcaster Simon Hughes - The Analyst - and technology entrepreneur Manoj Badale, lead owner of the Rajasthan Royals, one of the IPL's most forward-thinking franchises, dissect the global business of sport. They offer unique insights into the IPL's drivers and innovations and, with unprecedented access into dressing rooms and boardrooms, reveal lessons for the business of sport. An essential read for all those with a passion for cricket and an interest in the business of sport, this book is as innovative and ambitious as a Steve Smith century.

It is 1973. Brian, an IRA sniper is making good his escape after having completed his last hit.

The story, based in Suffolk, follows the reformed sniper in search of peace and quiet and DCI Cartwright in search of Brian. The complex plot unfolds when a local fisherman trawls up the golf bag. For all that Brian finds what he's looking he becomes involved in kidnap and murder. Then when it seems that all will end happily ever after, justice is served - or is it? Although this is a story in its own right it is also the final novel in the trilogy which begins after WWII in Easier Than It Seems and develops through the exploits of a black marketeering Scotsman who becomes a gun runner for the IRA in Retribution. It has nothing to do with golf!

A chance encounter with a van leads DCI Cartwright into a convoluted case riddled with coincidences. The van is en route for London but the cargo, smuggled from Amsterdam and landed by boat on the River Deben, is not quite what the courier had been expecting. The discovery of a kidnapped and assaulted Dutch student is only the beginning and Cartwright becomes suspicious of the activities of a cut-price enterprise and a dodgy antiques business in Bethnal Green where a syndicate of small-time cockney villains is looking to develop the potential for import and export of stolen jewellery and antiques and an increasing demand for cannabis.
