The Game and the Candle is an interesting dramatic novel about John and Robert Allard and their unfolding family drama. Excerpt: "It will last about six months," stated John Allard. "Afterward—" His brother looked up at him helplessly. "Afterward?" he echoed drearily. "Afterward there must be more. It is not possible, simply is not, for poverty to approach Theodora and Aunt Rose. Look around you, Robert."
Andreas's disappearance is a mystery to all, including his inseparable friend Zipp. But as much as the police question him, its not easy for Zipp to come forward with details of the last time he saw his friend: following an old woman into her home, brandishing his knife. Zipp waited anxiously outside but Andreas failed to reappear. Inspector Sejer and his colleague Skarre are baffled but while the confusion in the outside world continues, a chilling and heart-stopping drama is unfolding inside the old woman's home. In a plot in the tradition of Stephen King, Fossum deploys her trademark skill of looking realistically, terrifyingly, into the minds of criminal and victim. Appearances aren't always to be believed, and people are not always what they seem.

Light This Candle, based on Neal Thompson’s exclusive access to private papers and interviews with Shepard’s family and closest friends—including John Glenn, Wally Schirra, and Gordon Cooper—offers a riveting, action-packed account of Shepard’s life.

Are you crazy about rugby but frustrated at the modern emphasis on over-regulation; the 'closed-up' modern game, as opposed to the free-flowing, open running game of the past? Are you interested to see the lessons from business and how they apply to the rugby 'turn around' plan and re kindle the flame... If you also feel that counter-attacking is more important than concentrating on defence; if you would like to see initiative, speed, accuracy and thinking on your feet being rewarded; enjoy practice sessions that are not just about restrictive strategies and pre-planned plays; want to favour quick thinking over brawn and gym sessions and if you enjoy camaraderie with your mates and feel that rugby should be more about having fun, then you should start reading Colin Simmonds's 'Lighting the Candle'.
