Real Men Drink Aftershave
Summary
Since its inception in 1987, the rugby union World Cup has gone from being a cheerful, amateurish kick-about to one of the world's premier sporting events, third only to the football World Cup and the Olympics in terms of global reach. Along the way it has mirrored the sport's occasionally painful march into the professional era, with commensurate advances in the standard of play but also, some would argue, a loss of innocence as the marketing men have moved in on an increasingly lucrative property. But the competition is still - mostly - about the game itself. And Real Men Drink Aftershave is the real tale of the rugby World Cups - the players' stories - the funny, the irreverent, the real, and the fascinating tale of the history of the competition from the perspective of those who took part. From the players who got drunk all the way through the 1987 World Cup to the high-level training programmes and sophisticated tactics of 2003 - here is the full story. Written by one of the game's foremost insiders and observers, Real Men Drink Aftershave is destined to become the definitive history.

Midlife Crisis
Summary
If you were offered the chance to live six days of your life over again, which would you choose? Richard Kent is feeling well and truly fed up. As he approaches middle age, his waistline is expanding, his career options are dwindling, and everything from pop music to television seems like it was so much better in his youth. If that isn't depressing enough, his wife nags him, his kids ignore him, and his boss thinks he's a dinosaur. He's just about ready to give up, but then a truly remarkable encounter with his younger self changes everything. A trip back to 1984 in the body of his seven-year-old self is just the beginning of an amazing adventure revisiting key moments from his own life. These include an unfulfilled teenage crush and revenge on his evil boss armed only with a large rubber brontosaurus. Midlife Crisis is the first in a loosely connected series of time travel novels. It features characters and situations from the accompanying Time Bubble series and can be listened to as a stand-alone or alongside those stories.
