| Description: |
Lavishly illustrated and fully comprehensive biography of the world's best racehorse |
| Synopsis: |
Sea The Stars - the very name has a magical ring. Horse of the season, the decade, the century - possibly of all time. The Arkle of the Flat Racing World, he has captured the imagination of racing fans throughout Europe. It is not just what he has won, but the manner in which he has done so: six Group Ones in six months, including the 2000 Guineas, the Derby and the Arc de Triomphe, the Big Three never before achieved by one horse in one season. Only once did any of his races approach a close finish. If trouble appeared, he cast it aside with his scintillating speed and he kept improving with every race. He held his own and more against older horses; not for him the tag 'miler' or 'stayer', for he proved his superiority at three separate distances. In short, Sea The Stars is the model racehorse. Anne Holland has been lucky enough to have held Sea The Stars in his stable, marvelled at his size, scope and demeanour. Her celebration in words and pictures of this racing phenomenon is a superb tribute to a three-year-old legend. |

Bloodline
When a dead body is found in a North London flat, a bloodstained sliver of X-ray is found clutched in the dead woman's fist. DI Thorne discovers that the victim's mother had herself been murdered fifteen years before by infamous serial killer Raymond Garvey. When more bodies and more fragments of X-ray are discovered, Thorne realises that a killer is targeting the children of Garvey's victims. Thorne has to move quickly to protect other people from one of the most twisted killers he has ever hunted.

Unreliable Sources
Examines how Great Britain's free press changed the world and changed itself over the course of the last hundred years, from the creation of the "Daily Mail" and the first stokings of anti-German sentiment in the years leading up to the First World War, to the "Sun"'s propping up of the Thatcher government, and beyond.

The Crucible of Christianity
Christianity is the largest religion in the world, its influence felt in every corner of the globe. But where did this religion come from? How did it take shape and formulate its beliefs? This book takes us back to the beginnings, setting us in the world of the Roman Empire and assessing the dominant philosophies of the time.
