Rise of the Villans


Featuring exclusive interviews with Unai Emery, Monchi, Ollie Watkins, John McGinn, Pau Torres and more, this is the behind-the-scenes account of Unai Emery''s Aston Villa revolution, from the award-winning Sunday Times bestseller Guillem Balagué. In October 2022, Unai Emery was appointed manager of Aston Villa. Despite being one of England''s most historic football clubs, Emery was taking charge of a team in turmoil and hovering above the relegation zone in the Premier League. But in his very first match, Villa produced a statement victory, deftly beating Manchester United 3-1 at Villa Park. It was a sign of things to come. Guillem Balagué has had unparalleled access to Unai Emery, his backroom staff and the Aston Villa squad ever since the Spaniard was appointed manager in 2022. From Emery''s early years growing up in the Basque region to becoming one of the most exciting coaches managing today, Rise of the Villans reveals the inner workings of Emery''s psyche. Featuring exclusive interviews with Emery himself, as well as key players such as Villa captain John McGinn and star striker Ollie Watkins, it charts the journeys of both Emery and Aston Villa over the last three decades, offering a comprehensive and compelling narrative of why they are the perfect match. Exploring Emery''s management of the Midlands side, the book outlines how he has transformed them into an exciting side renowned for their direct passing, high energy and devastating counter attacks. After a 7th placed finish in his first season in charge, Emery''s Villa continued their fine form in the 2023-24 season, finishing 4th and qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in over four decades.With the Holte End roaring into life as Villa Park welcomed the return of European football''s most prestigious club competition, it was clear for all to see: Unai Emery had awoken the sleeping giant.

Chasing the Grid


After a successful career on Wall Street, the Catskill Mountains beckoned. In Chasing the Grid, author Kenneth Posner, a seasoned corporate worker and intrepid but non-elite runner, sets out after an ultra-distance mountain-running record which nearly destroys him. Along the way, he stumbles upon an obscure peak-bagging tradition known as the ''Grid,'' which becomes his new obsession. The Grid is a project where a determined athlete must run and climb a list of peaks in every month of the year, the purpose being to get to know the mountains intimately, in every season. For New York''s Catskill Mountains, where this story takes place, the formula requires more than 400 separate ascents. For Posner, the Grid turns out to be not just another running challenge; it''s a pilgrimage. It offers a retreat from the spirit of modern running, often reduced to a one-dimensional activity driven by ego and moderated by clocks, in favour of how our ancestors moved through nature in days gone by - purposefully, patiently, and mindfully. Posner emerges from the experience as a radically different kind of runner - now running barefoot across trails and shirtless in the winter, leaving behind food, water, lights, navigational gear, and even bug spray. By following Posner in his quest to complete the Grid, readers will feel sandstone fragments under bare soles; pad across a bed of moss as luxurious as a Persian carpet; squelch with him through cool black boreal mud; dance across snow and ice; and participate in discoveries about the passage of time, the energy of nature, and the sense of self.

Untamed Worlds


An action-packed roleplaying game of animals uplifted to serve as humanity’s agents among the stars. Welcome to space, the last great wilderness. While humanity has reached the stars, most humans live on Earth and other developed worlds, relying on the brave – or desperate – few to tame this dangerous new frontier. After disastrous experiments with human and AI operatives, the collected nations and mega-corporations of Earth turned to the animal kingdom, genetically modifying and enhancing various species to protect their off-world interests. As humanity extends its reach into Untamed Space, the elite, if expendable, animals of the United Expeditionary Force are the tip of the spear.Untamed Worlds is a military science fiction roleplaying game of anthropomorphic action in which dog-faced soldiers, gorilla commandos, chameleon snipers, octopus gunslingers, and other uplifted animals fight to defend a humanity that looks down on them. The 2D6-based system is simple but dynamic, with success and failure constantly generating new tactical options for players to exploit and challenges to which they must adapt. Whether pacifying alien threats and rebel factions, hunting down rogue AIs, or exploring the unknown, it’s never a dull day in the UEF!

More than a Game

But behind the passion and pride lies a question that has never really been asked. Where is the GAA goin? n this revealing and timely book, acclaimed journalist Michael Moynihan explores how the GAA is changing, and what it means for the Ireland it serves.

Extra Time Beckons, Penalties Loom


SHORTLISTED FOR FOOTBALL BOOK OF THE YEAR AT THE SPORTS BOOK AWARDS 2025LONGLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDA New Statesman Book of the YearA Sunday Times Sports Book of the Year"A hilarious examination of the football commentary language we all understand but don''t know why" WHSBOTY 2024 Reading PanelThe long-awaited follow-up to Football Clichés, Adam Hurrey''s cult classic about the language of football."So enjoyable ... fascinating and deliciously nerdy." FourFourTwo"Adam Hurrey is the best observer of football culture in the world. He has a knack for either encapsulating something that''s always nagged at you or nailing something you can''t believe you haven''t noticed before." Elis James"The funniest, smartest book on the language of football. It sends out a message, silences the doubters and lets its football do the talking ... a Rolls-Royce of a book." David Goldblatt***Does language evolve? Yes, it does.Will it ever be acceptable for a football commentator to call a shot that bounces before it goes in ''a screamer''? No, it will not.As the self-appointed world expert on the subject, Adam Hurrey sets off to define the definitive rules of the language of football.He will answer the big questions such as: is it acceptable to say a player is ''breaking their silence'' (it''s complicated), can headers can be ''lashed'' (anatomically impossible), whether a penalty shootout could ever be described as ''late drama'' (truly abhorrent), how many games constitute a ''bumper'' day of Premier League action (minimum of eight) and just how big a deficit constitutes ''a mountain to climb'' (certainly not Liverpool going 1-0 down at home to Wolves in the third minute, Sky Sports).Along the way, Hurrey examines some case studies of how the football media has reached saturation point - the transfer rumour mill, the futile art of big-match previewing, the rise of (and backlash against) football jargon - and how its language has evolved to keep the machine going.Have we let the football lexicon spiral out of control? In finding out, this book will be exactly as gloriously pedantic as it sounds.
