Liverpudlian Tommy Jacksons life is complicated. He lost a leg fighting in Afghanistan, and has only a few weeks of rehab at Headley Court before he gets married. Frances, his girlfriend, back in Liverpool, is heavily pregnant and doesnt know if the baby will arrive before the wedding. Her father is far from happy with her choice of mate. Steve Chalmers is a marine invalided out of the Service who runs the club Steves Squaddies of which Tommy was a founder member. His recruits are delinquents or youngsters whose home circumstances have caused social problems. They are rehabilitated into society by doing community work in exchange for training in self defence. Steve acts as a mentor to Tommy but finds it difficult to help him from a distance. Living with beautiful Jamaican Rosy and her fourteen year old twins has its ups and downs. Steve would also like to get married, but she cant forget the death of her son, Tommys best friend, who was killed in Afghanistan. Steve struggles to keep his club going financially and is stretched to keep the members under control on his own. Tommys trials and tribulations are shared at Headley Court by extrovert Jimbo and blind Cammy, also casualties of the Afghan war. He relies heavily on Jimbo who always seems to be able to lift him from his dark moods and keep him going in his efforts to be fit for the marriage ceremony. The climax comes when they all come together at the wedding. This is the second book in a trilogy series.

After more than thirty years, the characters from Mart Crowley's 1968 breakthrough drama, "The Boys in the Band "retook the stage in "The Men from The Boys." The famous circle of gay friends (minus one) assemble again in Michael's New York penthouse, this time for a memorial. Keenly observant, unabashedly bitchy, hilarious, and honest as it's predecessor, the sequel and the original, as presented in this volume, provide a then and now look at gay lives from Stonewall to today. Mart Crowley is the author of five plays, including "Boys in the Band "which was made into the 1970 film of the same name. He is also the author of several screenplays for television and was the producer of the TV series "Hart to Hart."

The movies, the documentaries, the museum exhibits. They often tell the same story about the "unsinkable" Titanic, her wealthy passengers, the families torn apart, and the unthinkable end. But never before has "that glorious band," the group of eight musicians who played on as the Titanic slipped deeper and deeper into the Atlantic Ocean, been explored in such depth--until now. Join renowned biographer Steve Turner as he shares an extraordinary portrait of eight men who were thrown together on a maiden voyage, never having played together as a band, and whose names will be forever linked because of an extraordinary act of courage in the face of death. In The Band that Played On, Turner asks and answers key questions, including: How did the faith of the band members allow them to react with grace under pressure? Why does the story of the Titanic continue to fascinate? How does the legacy of that glorious band live on today? Praise for The Band that Played On: "The Band that Played On is, surprisingly, the first book since the great ship went down to examine the lives of the eight musicians who were employed by the Titanic. What these men did--standing calmly on deck playing throughout the disaster--achieved global recognition. But their individual stories, until now, have been largely unknown. What Turner has uncovered is a narrow but unique slice of history--one more chapter of compelling Titanic lore." --Marjorie Kehe, Book Editor, Christian Science Monitor

People nowadays often seem to believe that shock rock was invented by Marylin Manson, or maybe Ozzy Osbourne. If only they knew! The first shock rock band ever was actually ALICE COOPER! Vincent Damon Furnier - now officially known amongst us as Alice Cooper - is their front singer, and his horror show on stage was notorious during the 70s. It involved squirming snakes, glaring make-up colours, and a number of unsettling accessories - a guillotine amongst them. Of course, this set-up made for good photographs, and teenie magazines loved to frighten their young readers with them. However, Alice Cooper never made for much of a teen heart-throb. Streaky hair, terrifying style and a decadent image rather appealed to the headbanging audience. Bubi Heilemann, as an excellent photographer always on the lookout for great pictures, took the chance to get Alice Cooper in front of his camera very early on, starting off on a USA tour in 1973. He worked onstage, backstage, in the airplane, and even at the opening of an exhibition in New York, also attended by the artist himself: Salvador Dali! These photographs are unique and very rarely published. The second photo session took place in Germany 1975 - Alice Cooper came to pick up some awards, because the band was really very successful after School's Out turned into an international top hit. Bubi Heilemann photographed the band at his studio, live, and at the hotel. This slim and affordable volume is a valuable document for each and every fan of Alice Cooper, alive and well today, the energy is still there. Seeing the band play live today is an exciting experience, never to be forgotten. Not to forget - this book brings backs memories of the olden days, walking along the school hallways after the bell rang for the last time before the summer holidays, chanting: School's out for summer / School's out forever... ALICE COOPER is a photo collection packed with exclusive and never-before-seen pictures, essential for all fans. This book also features the photographer's memories of working with the band, allowing for fascinating insights into the heart of one of the essential rock bands of the 70s.
