The Roman Republic was the most remarkable state in history. What began as a small community of peasants camped among marshes & hills ended up ruling the known world. Rubicon paints a vivid portrait of the Republic at the climax of its greatness
- the same greatness which would herald the catastrophe of its fall. It is a story of incomparable drama. This was the century of Julius Caesar, the gambler whose addiction to glory led him to the banks of the Rubicon, & beyond; of Cicero, whose defence of freedom would make him a byword for eloquence; of Spartacus, the slave who dared to challenge a superpower; of Cleopatra, the queen who did the same. Tom Holland brings to life this strange & unsettling civilization, with its extremes of ambition & self-sacrifice, bloodshed & desire. Yet alien as it was, the Republic still holds up a mirror to us. Its citizens were obsessed by celebrity chefs, all-night dancing & exotic pets; they fought elections in law courts & were addicted to spin; they toppled foreign tyrants in the name of self-defence. Two thousand years may have passed, but we remain the Romans' heirs.

Ruby Walsh is a phenomenon. The only jockey to have won all four of the home Grand Nationals, Ruby's racing life is the stuff of dreams. A charming, much-loved sports personality throughout Ireland & Great Britain, Ruby writes in detail for the first time about a career of remarkable success. The narrative moves at an impressive pace from his sport-enthused youth in County Kildare, where he showed enormous talent from an early age, to his incredible Grand National win at Aintree on Papillion in 2000 (at the age of twenty). It was Ruby's first attempt, on a horse trained by his father, & achieved just after suffering the first really serious injury of his career. He has ridden over 1, 400 winners to date, including more than a thousand Irish victories & the Irish jump jockey's title on seven occasions. Among numerous racing triumphs, Ruby rode a record-breaking seven winners over four days at the 2009 Cheltenham Festival. Ruby Walsh talks candidly & openly about the three key working relationships in his life
- with Paul Nicholls, Willie Mullins & his father, the legendary Ted Walsh
- as well as laying bare the dynamic relationship that exists between him & jockey Tony Mc Coy
- both great friends & professional rivals. With his intimate knowledge of the two greatest horses of our time, Ruby also provides valuable insight into what it is to ride & (sometimes choose between) Kauto Star & Denman. Ruby's fantastic story will attract a large spectrum of readers, from those who have only a passing interest in the sport to those who follow all his races. It is a searingly honest & compelling autobiography, charting the rise & rise of an immensely talented & popular force in the world of sport.
