A cast of troubled anti-heroes struggle to survive and family ties are tested in an uncertain world where power is held by a Christ and the many gods all clash to rule supreme. Used as a pawn in the machinations of those above him Nelson MacClease saves himself from one god only to fall prey to another. Drugs, violence and the politics of war takes the reader around the globe, from the ocean's bottom to the edges of space to spy on palace intrigues and vie with street-gangs and mobsters in a futuristic science-fiction novel filled with the violent underworld of crime and power.

British athletics in the era of Chariots of Fire is explored through the rediscovered life of amateur and professional runner and leading British coach, Alec Nelson. Though necessary for competitive success, professional coaches were kept firmly in their place by the socially elite athletes and administrators of the sport. The contradictions and hypocrisy within athletics, and the class-based antagonism between amateurism and professionalism, are central themes of this book. The relationship between professional trainers and amateur athletes and clubs is examined, and the resistance to change while British Olympic performances increasingly fell behind. The sporting world and its main personalities are brought to life through exploring the clubs Nelson coached (Cambridge University, the Army, the Achilles Club and various Olympic teams), the athletes he trained (Harold Abrahams, Douglas Lowe and Bob Tisdall among them) and the controversies over the methods and role of coaches. The book also brings to light a remarkable partnership which crossed the lines of social class, between Nelson and his mentor, Philip Noel-Baker, a prominent Olympian and politician who attempted to modernise British athletics.
