The Football Factory centres on Tom Johnson, a reasoned 'Chelsea hooligan' who represents a disaffected society operating by brutal rules. We are shown the realities of life - social degradation, unemployment, racism, casual violence, excessive drink and bad sex - and, perhaps more importantly, how they fall into a political context of surveillance, media manipulation and division. Graphic and disturbing, sometimes very funny, and deeply affecting throughout, The Football Factory is a vertiginous rush of adrenaline - the most authentic book yet on the so-called English Disease.

In their twilight years two eighty-something sisters, Esther and Minnie, are coaxed from their easy chairs and their comfort zone of carpet slippers, crochet hooks, jigsaws and jumble sales to fulfill the dying wish of a dear friend. The sisters go an to undertake a road trip of sorts in Esther's beloved classic Trafalgar-blue 1965 Morris Traveller car, affectionately known as 'Vivien.' The trip however is no minor errand to return late library books: theirs turns out to be an epic undertaking of some seven thousand miles from London's Whitechapel to Raipur, deep in the Indian subcontinent, passing through no less than ten countries along the way, including Poland, Russia, China and Tibet. Esther and Minnie's saga of course does not go without the occasional hitch, but the sister's eternal love for one another, and their quintessential innocence and innate kindness, stand them in good stead when they are faced with seemingly insurmountable odds.

Matt Doyle belongs to a relatively unknown government department which specialises in setting up surveillance operations and of course the odd breaking and entering. The field operatives have seen active service in post-Berlin and Northern Ireland and are collectively known as The Contractors. Matt Doyle was on a routine undercover operation but one in which he was told to take with him a civilian expert to help recover stolen data. However, the operation takes a turn for the worst as both the civilian expert and the stolen data disappear. Matt is also attracting a lot of attention from his masters. When another surveillance operation goes wrong, Matt decides that this is more than just a coincidence.

Dan Toombs (aka The Curry Guy) has perfected the art of replicating British Indian Restaurant (BIR) cooking after travelling around the UK, sampling dishes, learning the curry house kitchen secrets and refining those recipes at home. In other words, Dan makes homemade curries that taste just like a takeaway from your favourite local but in less time and for less money. Dan has learnt through the comments left on his blog and social media feeds that people are terribly let down when they make a chicken korma or a prawn bhuna from other cookbooks and it taste nothing like the dish they experience when they visit a curry house... but they thank him for getting it right. The Curry Guy shows all BIR food lovers around the world how to make their favourite dishes at home. Each of the classic curry sauces are given, including tikka masala, korma, dopiazza, pasanda, madras, dhansak, rogan josh, vindaloo, karai, jalfrezi, bhuna and keema. Popular vegetable and sides dishes are there as accompaniments, aloo gobi, saag aloo and tarka dhal, plus samosas, pakoras, bhaji, and pickles, chutneys and raitas. Of course, no curry is complete without rice or naan. Dan shows you how to cook perfect pilau rice or soft pillowy naan every time.
