Book Description
On Friday, October 7, 1977, the Philadelphia Phillies experienced some of the highest highs and lowest lows in their then 94-year history--all within the span of a single grey afternoon. An afternoon that turned so dark so fast that Phils fans would refer to it forever after as Black Friday. Following a 1976 season in which the perennial laughingstock of a franchise won 101 games, the '77 Phillies had been even better. With a lineup that featured Mike Schmidt and Greg Luzinski in their primes, a rotation anchored by Steve Carlton, and perhaps the deepest bench and bullpen in baseball history, these Phillies took a back seat to nobody. So when they faced Los Angeles in the NLCS, few thought the Dodgers stood much of a chance. After splitting the first two games of the five-game series in LA, the clubs arrived at Veterans Stadium that afternoon with Phillies fans anticipating a coronation. And after jeering a jittery Burt Hooton off the mound and watching their Phils take a 5-3 lead into the ninth, everything was going according to plan. Until it wasn't. Within ten minutes everything had spectacularly imploded. Even now, four decades later, Phillies fans debate just how and why it all went so wrong so suddenly. The Ten-Minute Collapse: Black Friday and the Fall of the 1977 Phillies transports you back to that October afternoon and parks you behind the plate at the Vet where you can experience it all as if you were there for every exhilarating, exasperating moment.

Book Description
The truth of the Value System is too outrageous to believe. Lawrence has won the support of the Shellingfield dynasty to attack the Value System. But first, he has to prove to the world it’s as evil as he claims. He must get living evidence. As the first tribune of the Protectorate, Nightminster has tasted power, and it’s a taste he likes. He has every intention of getting more of it. His alliance with the Krossington dynasty makes him a formidable force. He’s going to purge the Value System and have Bishop Donald Aldingford indicted for the murder of Julius Shellingfield. He’ll win the support of the glory trusts by putting Sarah-Kelly Newman on trial for mass-murder. With no enemies left, what can stop him achieving supreme power? Operation Ultimate is the fourth part of the Sovereigns of the Collapse dystopian thriller series.
