In 1956, a casual bet between two millionaires eventually pitted two of the greatest golfers of the era -- Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan -- against top amateurs Harvie Ward and Ken Venturi. The year: 1956. Decades have passed since Eddie Lowery came to fame as the ten-year-old caddie to U.S. Open Champion Francis Ouimet. Now a wealthy car dealer and avid supporter of amateur golf, Lowery has just made a bet with fellow millionaire George Coleman. Lowery claims that two of his employees, amateur golfers Harvie Ward and Ken Venturi, cannot be beaten in a best-ball match, and challenges Coleman to bring any two golfers of his choice to the course at 10 a.m. the next day to settle the issue. Coleman accepts the challenge and shows up with his own power team: Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson, the game''s greatest living professionals, with fourteen major championships between them. In Mark Frost''s peerless hands, complete with the recollections of all the participants, the story of this immortal foursome and the game they played that day-legendarily known in golf circles as the greatest private match ever played-comes to life with powerful, emotional impact and edge-of-your-seat suspense.

Bestselling author Mark Frost makes a triumphant return to fiction with this riveting World War II thriller, based on a shocking real-life German operation run by "the most dangerous man in Europe." Fall 1944. Germany is losing, and the Americans are starting to hope they''ll be home for Christmas. Lieutenant Colonel Otto Skorzeny, "Hitler''s Commando," famed for his daring rescue of the imprisoned Mussolini, has just received orders for Operation Greif: He is to assemble a new brigade of 2,000 men, all of whom speak English, and send them behind Allied lines disguised as GIs, where they will wreak havoc in advance of a savage new offensive. And from those men, Skorzeny is to select a smaller group, made up of the twenty most highly skilled commandos fluent in American culture, to attempt an even more sinister mission--the second objective--which, if completed, not only would change the course of the war, but would change the course of history. Filled with real characters and details only recently released by the United States military, The Second Objective is historical fiction at its most pulse-pounding, its most unpredictable, and its most compulsively readable.

This fascinating narrative chronicles the birth of the modern game of golf, told through the story of Harry Vardon and Francis Ouimet. These men, in pursuit of their passion for a sport that had captivated them since childhood, lifted themselves out of their lives of common poverty and broke down rigid social barriers, transforming the game of golf into one of the most widely played sports in the world today. Vardon and Ouimet were two men from different generations and vastly different corners of the world whose lives, unbeknown to them at the time, bore remarkable similarities, setting them on parallel paths that led to their epic battle at Brookline in the 1913 US Open. This collision resulted in the ''big bang'' that gave rise to the sport of golf as we know it. In THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED, Mark Frost tells their story, including along the way over a dozen of the game''s seminal figures, within the dramatic framework offered by the 1913 tournament where they finally met, which became one of the most thrilling sports events in history.

The ancient holy texts are missing. The death of the world approaches. Six extraordinary men have shared one vision of a black tower and a river of blood.

The future is in the hands of the Six.

Boston, Tuesday, October 21, 1975. The Red Sox and the Cincinnati Reds have endured an excruciating three-day rain delay. Tonight, at last, they will play Game Six of the World Series. Leading three games to two, Cincinnati hopes to win it all; Boston is desperate to stay alive. But for all the anticipation, nobody could have predicted what a classic it would turn out to be: an extra-innings thriller, created by one of the Big Red Machine''s patented comebacks and the Red Sox''s improbable late-inning rally; clutch hitting, heart-stopping defensive plays, and more twists and turns than a Grand Prix circuit, climaxed by one of the most famous home runs in baseball history that ended it in the twelfth. Here are all the inside stories of some of that era''s biggest names in sports: Johnny Bench, Luis Tiant, Sparky Anderson, Pete Rose, Carl Yastrzemski--eight Hall of Famers in all--as well as sportscasters and network execs, cameramen, umpires, groundskeepers, politicians, and fans who gathered in Fenway that extraordinary night. Game Six is an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at what is considered by many to be the greatest baseball game ever played--remarkable also because it was about so much more than just balls and strikes. This World Series marked the end of an era; baseball''s reserve clause was about to be struck down, giving way to the birth of free agency, a watershed moment that changed American sports forever. In bestselling author Mark Frost''s talented hands, the historical significance of Game Six becomes every bit as engrossing as its compelling human drama.

Cher directeur Cole, Conformément aux directives que vous m''avez adressées l''année dernière suite à mon enquête sur le " Dossier de l''Archiviste ", je vous remets mon rapport de suivi par le présent document. Ce dossier – qui se termine brutalement à la date du 28 mars 1989, avec la disparition soudaine et la mort présumée du Major – nous a laissés face à de multiples orientations possibles pour notre enquête. Comme vous me l''avez suggéré à l''époque, j''ai depuis mené mes propres investigations " dans tous les terriers de lapins et à la cime de tous les pommiers ", en quête de réponses. Pour l''exprimer de façon plus simple, je suis devenue " l''Archiviste ". Contrairement au dossier précédent, dans lequel les documents sont pour la plupart présentés dans leur intégralité, comme l''exige la procédure au sein du Bureau, j''ai cette fois pris le temps de regrouper les éléments pertinents que j''ai découverts, de façon à former un récit continu. Comme vous me l''avez également demandé, j''ai entamé ce projet dans la ville de Twin Peaks, afin de découvrir l''historique de nombreux habitants – que vous avez personnellement connus, pour beaucoup d''entre eux – sur les dernières décennies. J''ai ainsi appris quantité d''éléments surprenants – votre expression : " Ces bois sont remplis de secrets " fait figure d''euphémisme – et d''autres choses reflétant la vitesse stupéfiante à laquelle toute communauté, quelle que soit sa taille, évolue en un quart de siècle. Si ce phénomène est extrêmement difficile à percevoir sans recul – il est quasiment invisible au jour le jour –, il est aussi vif que la foudre dès lors qu''on l''observe de loin. J''en conclus que les épreuves et futilités quotidiennes ont un effet anesthésique sur l''esprit, qu''elles engourdissent et empêchent de saisir le passage et les ravages continuels du temps. J''ai également appris à voir dans cet effet une forme de miséricorde, ce qui incite à n''en pas douter à l''humilité.

This important work in Ruskin studies provides for the first time an authoritative study of Ruskin’s Guild of St George. It introduces new material that is important in its own right as a significant piece of social history, and as a means to re-examine Ruskin’s Guild idea of self-sufficient, co-operative agrarian communities founded on principles of artisanal (non-mechanised) labour, creativity and environmental sustainability. The remarkable story of William Graham and other Companions lost to Guild history provides a means to fundamentally transform our understanding of Ruskin’s utopianism.
