  This true story, set in the late 1960s, follows the journey of Kozmos Lovejoy, a young artist living in San Francisco fascinated by psychedelics, spiritual mythology, and Jungian therapy. One night, he dreams of a banquet in a Renaissance castle where he meets a beautiful young woman who seems to know him and a joyous, vibrant man in a toga who blesses the feast with laughter and joy. A few weeks later, while hiking in the jungle near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Koz discovers a spring that flows into a jungle pool. He meets the girl from his dream who shares a spiritual feast of knowledge and wisdom hidden for thousands of years in myths and metaphors buried in books and ancient texts. Thus begins Kozmos Lovejoy's journey of self-discovery, taking him from Puerto Vallarta across the American Southwest and finally high into the French Alps, where he camps with the Sufis and shares in this Feast of Knowledge. Here, the secret of stardust is revealed to him, and he gains a deeper understanding of this transformative period of awakening global consciousness. The Adventures of Kozmos Lovejoy, Exp is an epic adventure that blends Patrick O'Brien's personal experiences with a profound understanding of human potential. It celebrates a remarkable journey of self-awareness, inspiring the hearts, dreams, and imagination of those who dare surrender to the unknown by choice or chance.

  'From incredible highs to devastating lows, the championship battles and mental turmoil, Derby winners and cancer heartbreak, Pat has left more than a legacy. Read this and you will agree with me – he is iconic.' RUBY WALSH
  'Pat tells his story with the same honesty and humility that defined him as a person. He was a remarkable man and his is a compelling story.' SIR ANTHONY MCCOY
  'Pat was an amazing man, a man of dignity who went about life with a smile on his face. He is an example to all of us.' FRANKIE DETTORI
  'Inspiring, heart-breaking and unforgettable.' BROUGH SCOTT
  Pat Smullen was one of the greatest Irish jockeys ever. In a career laden with success, his position as one of the country's best ever flat jockeys was long established. And yet, despite being a nine-time champion jockey, his humility defined him.
  It was this strength of character that sustained him when, in March 2018, Pat was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. There was never any self-pity. He just dealt with it. And more than that, he brought it centre stage: raising funds and awareness, and channelling his energies into helping others. Pat was a champion in all aspects of life, no matter what setbacks were thrown at him. Tragically, his life was cut short far too early in September 2020.
  Written in the months before his death, with the assistance of Donn McClean and completed by Pat's wife, Frances Crowley, Champion is the inspirational story of the jockey whose legacy lives on.

  In April 1945, German troops withdrawing from the Seelow Heights were encircled by the Soviet Army near the small town of Halbe, south-east of Berlin. Rather than surrender, their orders were to attempt to break out, westward, and join up with the German twelfth Army. A brutal battle ensued, with an estimated 30,000 German and 20,000 Russian soldiers killed, along with thousands of civilians. 
   
   
   
  This collection of first-hand accounts tells the story of the battle and its aftermath from the German perspective. It is an eclectic mix, containing the recollections of ordinary soldiers, SS-men and men of the Panzer Divisions, as well as civilians caught up in the battle as they attempted to flee ahead of the advancing armies. It brings to life the grim realities of this one-sided engagement, revealing the brutal vengeance of the Soviets and the desperation to escape the slaughter. 
   
   
   
  Translated into English for the first time, this is an important insight into this devastating and little-known aspect of World War II history.
