Introduction to Web 2.0

A secret mission sails into disaster in this Second World War thriller.1939: Captain David Cochrane Smith, veteran of the First World War and now an intelligence officer, is sent to rescue an American war correspondent from General Franco's Guardias. During the extraction he makes a narrow escape from German officer Kurt Larsen. En route to a new posting, his ship is attacked and he is taken prisoner, aboard the German ship Brandenburg. He must hide his true identity, as Smith will be shot if he is found to be more than the naval officer he claims to be, and Larsen, on board the Brandenburg, is more than suspicious of the British officer... Soon Smith realises that the Brandenburg poses a bigger threat to Britain than anyone would believe. Desperate to buy time for the British fleet, and aware that he has a very personal stake in the upcoming battle, Smith will go to extreme lengths to sabotage the German war effort. But will he be victorious in his battle for the seas? Orphans of the Storm is a thrilling naval adventure set among some of the most dangerous fighting of the Second World War, perfect for fans of Alexander Fullerton and David Black. Praise for Alan Evans 'Cracking war adventure' Yorkshire Evening Post 'I think a 21 gun salute is required...

The Barbarian Football Club is a rugby institution that transcends the national barriers of the 15-a-side game around the world. For a century and more the Barbarians, a touring club without a permanent base, have travelled the length and breadth of Britain and Europe and as far afield as South Africa, Japan, Russia and North and South America to play matches against the mighty and the minnows. Club sides everywhere welcome them with open arms because to play against them is an honour in itself and a guarantee of a match of flowing rugby and massive crowd appeal. And the most famous players in the history of the game, from Gareth Edwards to Gavin Hastings, Michael Lynagh to Jonah Lomu, or Serge Blanco to Jeremy Guscott, have worn the famous black-and-white shirt of the Barbarians.Since 1948 the Barbarians have regularly played the All Blacks, Springboks and Wallabies in front of sell-out crowds at Twickenham, Cardiff Arms Park, the Millennium Stadium and Lansdowne Road in Dublin - and at one time or another beaten them all. In more recent times summer tours have featured high-profile fixtures against England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. The United Nations of Rugby is the updated official history of the legendary touring club and includes personal reflections and anecdotes from several celebrated players from around the world. Famous matches such as the incomparable defeat of the 1973 All Blacks and ground-breaking tours to Canada and South Africa are recalled through the eyes of the stars who took part. Full coverage is also given to the Barbarians continuing contact with the grass roots of the game in Britain and the fostering of the sport in developing rugby nations such as Portugal. The book also addresses the question of what makes the Barbarians so special and how they have survived and flourished in the age of professional rugby.

The Barbarians

The odds are against Commander Smith in this epic story of battle on the high seas. Autumn, 1917: Britain is just about surviving against incessant U-boat attacks, but there are mutinies in France, a revolution in Russia and stalemate on the Western Front. The Allies must get the upper hand and, in London, plans are hatched to renew the pressure in the Middle East. Commander David Cochrane Smith finds himself on a formidable assignment in the Mediterranean. He is wily, experienced and tough but his mission is dangerous and his force is small. With this ramshackle squadron he must elude the U-boats and sink a heavily armed enemy cruiser whose captain is as able and daring as Smith himself. The action is fierce on land and on sea – and the odds are uneven. But this is an assignment designed to test Smith to the utmost and he is determined to succeed... Dauntlessis an unputdownable First World War Thriller perfect for fans of David Black, Patrick O’Brian and Alexander Fullerton. Praise for Dauntless 'I think a 21 gun salute is required...

A heart-pounding First World War naval thriller featuring the rebel Captain Cochrane Smith. 1917: After three years, the outcome of the Great War is poised on a knife-edge. David Cochrane Smith, captain of the armoured cruiser HMS Thunder, is patrolling off the coast of South America. But then he attacks and sinks the Gerda, a neutral ship in a neutral port. Smith already has a reputation as a maverick and now he faces professional ruin. But he is certain he was right, that the Gerda was one of two ships masquerading under neutral flags that are in fact supply vessels for the mighty German warships, Kondor and Wolf. Only an outdated cruiser and a young captain prepared to break all the rules stand in their way... Thunder At Dawn is an edge-of-the-seat naval adventure that combines thrilling story-telling with meticulous research, perfect for readers of Alexander Fullerton, Julian Stockwin and Philip McCutchan.
