Pages : 209
Book Description
After a trophy-laden and record-setting club and international career, England’s greatest ever goalkeeper, Peter Shilton, could rightly look forward to an equally successful post-playing career. But a gambling habit forged in his playing days soon spiralled into a gambling addiction: a silent, self-destructive and ruinous obsession that destroyed relationships, his mental health and very nearly himself. With the love and support of his wife Steph, he was able to face up to his addiction, find hope for the future and overcome his 45-year secret and turn his life around. Peter and Steph – who has over 20 years’ experience working in the NHS – now campaign to raise awareness of this, and other destructive addictions, helping both addicts and their partners weather the long and arduous journey back to recovery. Their charity ‘Gambling with Lives’ works with both the government and FA to tackle the tragic rate of suicide associated with gambling addiction, and campaigns to bring in stricter advertising controls. Steph and Peter bravely tell both sides of their journey with a direct honesty and an empathy born of real-life experience, offering advice and hope to not only to those effected by gambling, but sufferers of other chronic addictions. They also shine a light on football’s obsession with gambling, taking millions of pounds from the gambling sites and bookies who sponsor the game, while neglecting to support both the players and fans who fall prey to addiction. This is the ultimately uplifting story of how he was saved – by Steph’s love and support, and his own strength and determination.

Book Description
SciFi aficionado, Avery Blake, and sorceress of suspense, Ninie Hammon, team up to bring you The Saved. This is the fourth book in The Taken Saga, a terrifying tale of alien invasion told from the perspective of three very special young people. After the blind Apache girl, Star, predicts the aliens will wipe out humanity by flooding the earth, the inhabitants of Zion Village seal themselves in the Matheson Caverns — fighting their way through an army led by Paco, who tries to steal their hiding place. Even though food stores are low, once Paco is defeated and left for dead, they start to hope they will survive … but their real battle for survival has only begun. When people start disappearing, the survivors realize that other creatures have sought refuge in the caverns too – cougars and wolves stalk stragglers from the group. Worse, they don’t know that Paco is still alive, using his gift of mind control to turn the villagers against each other so he can seize control. When Paco’s mind breaks down, the people he controls become mindless killing machines. Then there is the worst danger of all: four aliens have been sealed inside the caves too. While the villagers hunt wild animals and defend themselves from Paco’s berserkers, Star and Noah must lead a daring suicide mission to lure the aliens into the old mine and blow it up. Can these young heroes save the last remnants of humanity without burying everyone alive … or drowning them by allowing the waters above to fill the caverns? In a blockbuster conclusion to the four-book series, this small remnant of humanity makes its final stand. If they don’t survive, the aliens win and the human race becomes extinct. The Saved is the fourth and final book in the new alien invasion series, The Taken Saga, by Avery Blake and Ninie Hammon. Get The Saved and finish your new favorite science fiction series today!
