Christian Focus Publications Ltd In the Firing Line
Book SynopsisDeep down Doug knew what he had to do as he accepted the ball from the big defender and headed towards the box. Twelve yards - that was all that separated him from putting his terrible season behind him and completely turning things around. He had played well tonight, he knew that, but if he didn't score this penalty it would all be for nothing. In a matter of seconds he would either be a hero or a villain. His pulse quickened as he took a step back from the ball and waited for the whistle. There was no hiding place - floodlights, cameras and the eyes of football fans everywhere were on him. The whistle blew. Drawing one last breath he launched forward, striking the ball with all his power. Doug's glittering career seems to be taking a nose dive - and the plans for his life are not what he had hoped for, but is something else going on behind the scenes? Doug's poor scoring record may not be the only reason he finds himself falling out of favour with the world's richest club. Are Doug's plans being thwarted by someone else's plot? A plot that cares nothing about other people... even whether they live or die?

Signal Books Ltd Unbeatables
Book SynopsisShy boy Amadeo reigns supreme at table football in his local cafe. Taking on all comers he is one of "the unbeatables" with his loyal team of tiny foosballers. But there's another "unbeatable" in town. Aggrieved by his only ever defeat at the hands of Amadeo in a foosball match when they were kids, Flash the town bully returns to seek revenge. Not only does he destroy the foosball table, but he challenges Amadeo to a game of actual football. Amadeo has never played real football - and Flash, with his insatiable quest for glory, has subsequently risen to become the world's most famous soccer star. With the future of the village at stake and his foosballers scattered, the situation looks hopeless for Amadeo. Unless he can recruit the help of his eccentric fellow villagers and the girl he loves, Lara, to take on the world's best football team captained by his nemesis Flash. And unless the foossballers can be reunited. "It'll be like Barcelona against a non-league team with an injury crisis," predicts Lara. What nobody predicts, however, is how Amadeo's foosballers will affect the game...The Unbeatables novel is the ultimate fantasy football story.Expanding upon the original movie, the novel includes additional adventures and characters. Written for young adults (and not so young adults), the book is a scintillating, action-packed 90 minutes of end-to-end incident, comedic flair, goalmouth scrambles and dubious off the ball challenges on the ethos of the modern gameTrade Review"If you're looking for a light-hearted, fun read, then The Unbeatables could be just the ticket. You may have seen the animated film of the same name, but it won't spoil your enjoyment of the book if you haven't... An entertaining read."-Late Tackle; "I was delighted to read the book, took it one word at a time, great set of pages." - Mark Steel
