Van Allen Plexico and John Ringer, hosts of the AU Wishbone Podcast and authors of WE BELIEVED: A LIFETIME OF AUBURN FOOTBALL and SEASON OF OUR DREAMS, bring you the story of Auburn Basketball over the past five decades, beginning with the arrivals of Sonny Smith and Charles Barkley, and through Bruce Pearl's revival of the program, the Final Four season of 2019 and the powerhouse team of 2022. The book includes:
- The hiring of Sonny Smith, along with a bunch of his great stories and hilarious one-liners. AND a new interview conducted with him in 2022, offering his thoughts on his time as coach, his favorite players, his work as color analyst for AU today, and his thoughts on Bruce Pearl and the current Auburn Basketball program.
- Charles Barkley: Every story we could find. His three seasons on the team; his experiences with Bobby Knight at the 1984 Olympic trials (and reactions of other players there!); his glory years in the NBA, and beyond. (Not to mention the time he tried to gain a hundred pounds in one day, to avoid being drafted by one particular team!)
- Cliff Ellis: His best teams and players, and what he really thought about his dismissal in 2004.
- The tragedy of Tommy Joe Eagles, and the disaster of the Lebo/Barbee years. (From how the new Arena was designed and why, to what Barbee felt was the most important thing when he took over the job--!)
- Bruce Pearl: How Jay Jacobs managed the hire. The controversies. The revival of the program. The glorious 2019 run. The great players. The exhilaration of the 2022 team and everything around it. All of that and more.
- The greatest players of the last five decades, and the best games, tournament runs, and more.
- In-depth discussion and analysis of every Auburn Basketball season since 1978 (some of them game-by-game, a few of them play-by-play... and some much more than others, obviously!)
- And, along the way, you get Van and John's patented mixture of commentary, humor, memories, and analysis.
It's 300 pages of Auburn Basketball glory, as only the AU Wishbone duo can tell it!
Some said it would never happen. On December 2, 1989, it DID happen.
Undefeated and second-ranked Alabama did something they'd sworn they would never, ever do: They came to Auburn to play the Iron Bowl.
How it happened, after years of threats and lawsuits and refusals to even discuss the possibility, is a story as riveting as the game that unfolded on the field that Saturday afternoon.
Van Allen Plexico and John Ringer, co-hosts of the AU Wishbone Podcast, trace the greatest rivalry in football from its dawning in Birmingham to the epic showdown on the Plains.
Along the way, they expose the roots of the animosity between the two universities, the numerous ways Alabama has tried to get its way in every dispute with Auburn--and the consequences when it didn't.
Then they break down the game itself--what happened, play-by-play, how and why--from Tiger Walk to Toomer's Corner, and beyond.

The Power has returned. And now I, the exiled dark lord Lucian, race across the infinite planes of creation, a charge of mass murder upon my head, vicious foes dogging my every step. My goals are simple: Justice for myself, vengeance upon my enemies, and conquest of the universe if I get half a chance.
But events are conspiring to bring me together with some very unexpected allies, and to thrust me into the most unlikely role of all... Hero?
After a failed coup attempt, the dark lord Lucian was exiled from the Golden City of the gods and has dwelt for centuries among the worlds of Man. During that time he carved out a star empire of his own. Now the Power has returned-the Power that fuels the immortality and astounding abilities of the gods-and Lucian has resolved to cast aside his ties to humanity, end his exile and make his way back to his beloved celestial city. But what he finds when he arrives there is not what he expected: Mysterious beings all in black roam the cosmic pathways, most of the gods have somehow vanished, and those who remain look upon him with unadulterated suspicion and hate. Now he must clear his own name and find the true culprit even as his brother and sister gods do everything in their power to capture and destroy him.
No one ever said it was easy to be the god of evil...

In the labor pits of Earth, Jack Gael is a slave to the alien conquerors known as the Union--until the day he discovers a lost weapon of incalculable power, and becomes the Gladiator.
Now Jack must forge his own Union and strike back against Earth's evil alien masters, if humanity is to be from alien domination.
But can Jack's oddball team of resistance fighters-- a renegade scientist, a time-lost Roman Centurion, and a mysterious time-traveler --long survive against the aliens and their enforcers: the diabolical, robotic Kratons?
And just who exactly is the strange man in blue who's pulling all their strings--the strange immortal known only as John Smith?
The latest pulp adventure novel from the author of VALIDUS-V and the SENTINELS series, UNION draws its inspiration from great Valiant comics like X-O, Magnus and Doctor Solar; particularly those written by Jim Shooter and Bob Layton and masterfully illustrated by Barry Windsor-Smith, to whom the work is dedicated.
A truly fast paced, action-adventure SF tale that owes it roots to the comics of the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties... Plexico (has) won lots of writing awards in the past. UNION may deliver him another.
