Title: Open: An Autobiography

Author: Andre Agassi

Narrator: Erik Davies

Format: Abridged

Length: 06:25:00

Language: English

Release date: 11-09-09

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Sports, Health & Wellness, Men's Health

Summary:

He is one of the most beloved athletes in history and one of the most gifted men ever to step onto a tennis court but from early childhood Andre Agassi hated the game.

Coaxed to swing a racket while still in the crib, forced to hit hundreds of balls a day while still in grade school, Agassi resented the constant pressure even as he drove himself to become a prodigy, an inner conflict that would define him. Now, in his beautiful, haunting autobiography, Agassi tells the story of a life framed by such conflicts.

Agassi makes us feel his panic as an undersized seven-year-old in Las Vegas, practicing all day under the obsessive gaze of his violent father. We see him at thirteen, banished to a Florida tennis camp. Lonely, scared, a ninth-grade dropout, he rebels in ways that will soon make him a 1980s icon. By the time he turns pro at sixteen, his new look promises to change tennis forever, as does his lightning fast return.

And yet, despite his raw talent, he struggles early on. We feel his confusion as he loses to the world's best, his greater confusion as he starts to win. After stumbling in three Grand Slam finals, Agassi shocks the world, and himself, by capturing the 1992 Wimbledon. Overnight he becomes a fan favorite and a media target.

Agassi brings a near-photographic memory to every pivotal match, and every public relationship. Alongside vivid portraits of rivals, Agassi gives unstinting accounts of his brief time with Barbra Streisand and his doomed marriage to Brooke Shields. He reveals the depression that shatters his confidence, and the mistake that nearly costs him everything. Finally, he recounts his spectacular resurrection and his march to become the oldest man ever ranked number one.

In clear, taut prose, Agassi evokes his loyal brother, his wise coach, his gentle trainer, all the people who help him regain his balance and find love at last with Stefanie Graf.

With its breakneck tempo and raw candor, Open will be read and cherished for years. A treat for ardent fans, it will also captivate readers who know nothing about tennis. Like Agassi's game, it sets a new standard for grace, style, speed and power.

Title: Hellfire

Author: Ed Macy

Narrator: Ed Macy

Format: Abridged

Length: 05:08:00

Language: English

Release date: 09-03-09

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: History, Biography & Memoir, Military

Summary:

Climb back inside the cockpit of the worlds deadliest helicopter and learn how one mission helped change the course of the Afghan conflict and rewrite the rules of combat.

May 2006. Pilot Ed Macy arrives in Afghanistan with a contingent of Apache AH Mk1. Its the first operational tour for the deadly, difficult machines and confidence in the cripplingly expensive attack helicopter is low. It doesnt help that for their first month in action, Ed and his mates see little more than the back-end of a Chinook.

But when the men of 3 Para get pinned down during Op Mutay, the Armys reservations about their fearsome new fliers are thrown out the window. In the blistering firefight that follows, Ed fires the first ever Hellfire missile and, with one squeeze of the trigger, changes the war in Afghanistan forever. What had been looking like a 4.2 billion mistake quickly becomes the British Armys greatest asset, as the awe-inspiring Apache is dramatically redirected to fight the enemy head on.

In this gripping account of war on the ground and in the skies above the dusty wastes of Helmand, Ed recounts the intense months that followed: the steep learning curve, the relentless missions, the evolving enemy and the changing Rules of Engagement. As he comes to grip with the Apache, his early career as a paratrooper stands him in good stead, as does his operational baptism as a pilot. Both shaped his ability to fly, fight and survive during that fateful first Afghanistan tour against a cunning and ruthless enemy.

Ed will need every ounce of willpower and skill to succeed over the long, hot Helmand summer, as he and his colleagues find themselves on trial for their lives and for the reputation of a machine on which the British government had staked a fortune. The crucible of fire that awaited them would cement the fate of man and machine forever.
