Shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year 'Magnificent ... the pinacle of rugby writing' – Owen Slot, The Times The 1997 British & Irish Lions tour to South Africa is one of the most iconic in rugby history. Written off at home and abroad, Martin Johnson's men were given no hope of success against the world champion Springboks in their own backyard. But a combination of brilliant coaching, astute selections and outstanding players laid the foundations for the touring side's outstanding attacking mindset and brutal stonewall defence. On the other side was a team expected to stamp their authority on the tourists and confirm their place as the best side on the planet. But with political, racial and economic scandals swirling around the Springbok camp, plus a rookie coach parachuted into office just before the tour began, the hosts were under huge pressure. In a Test series that will go down in legend as one of the most compelling of all time, the sides could barely be separated. This is the inside story from both camps as they battle for supremacy, lifting the lid like never before as a huge cast of characters look back on those extraordinary weeks and the impact it had on their lives and careers thereafter. Hilarious, insightful and spine-chilling, Tom English and Peter Burns provide the perfect read for all Lions fans.

When Lions Roared

When Lions Roared

By 1971 no Lions team had ever defeated the All Blacks in a Test series. Since 1904, six Lions sides had travelled to New Zealand and all had returned home bruised, battered and beaten. But the 1971 tour party was different. It was full of young, ambitious and outrageously talented players who would all go on to carve their names into the annals of sporting history during a golden period in British and Irish rugby. And at their centre was Carwyn Jones – an intelligent, sensitive rugby mastermind who would lead his team into the game’s hardest playing arena while facing a ferocious, tragic battle in his personal life, all in pursuit of a seemingly impossible dream. Up against them was an All Blacks team filled with legends in the game in the likes of Colin Meads, Brian Lochore, Ian Kirkpatrick, Sid Going and Bryan Williams. But as the Lions swept through the provinces, lighting up the rugby fields of New Zealand the pressure began to mount on the home players in a manner never seen before. As the Test series loomed, it became clear that a clash that would echo through the ages was about to unfold. And at its conclusion, it was obvious to all that rugby would never be the same again.

There is not one Earth but 360 earths. Half of the earths reside in a science based universe. The other half populate a magic based universe. These earths have formed a federation and have an assembly in the city of Centralix where they vote on important issues. Each earth has a magistrate who represents their earth in secret. There are many rules, laws and regulations about how things are supposed to be conducted in Centralix and its member earths. This book is not about what is supposed to happen, but what really happens. The magistrate for our science based earth, 136A, is Octavia Scott. She is a master of working the rules in Centralix, but she also has alternative methods of getting things done. Playing outside of the established rules of Centralix can lead to death if discovered. Maxine Silvercrest and Kush Johnson are the emissaries for our earth and look after things for Octavia Scott. Maxine Silvercrest is a healer. She works with two musical pubescent prodigies, Marvin and Cleon Trucelle. Their magical powers will start to emerge when they turn 18. Unfortunately, the Trucelles are at odds with a violent group of young men in their community. Kush Johnson is a warrior and enforcer of all things magic on our earth. He struggles to control his urges to feed. His past is filled with the traumatic loss of loved ones. There are two types of agents: warriors and healers. Violet Morphew is from Earth 104A . Her grueling warrior based training regime has defeated or killed many people before her. Sir Jonathan Graylee, of Earth 180B, is the most powerful magistrate in Centralix. He is the master of the political game in Centralix, but he has enemies. What Burns Below explores the hidden magical world on our earth and the alliances and various forms of subversive activities used to gain power in Centralix.
