The Queensberry Rule Don't get mad, get even But better be careful
. . . In a world where the truth can be manufactured in an instant
with a post or a tweet, sometimes good intentions aren't enough.
Jason has had his son, his security and now his job taken away from
him. Consumed by bitterness at the injustice of it all, he needs to
work out if he really wants to fight back - when someone offers to
help him do just that. He has to decide for himself if the shadowy
Queensberry Foundation believes the same things about justice that
he does. If The Queensberry Rule was a film, think The Firm meets
Falling Down meets Fight Club. What Readers Say "The characters are
completely believable, the dialogue is snappy when needed and
thoughtful when called for, and the pacing is fabulous." "Was a
difficult book to put down...loved it " "Fast moving storyline, I
couldn't put it down." "I loved this story. A great page-turner
with plenty of twists and turns, strong characters and events that
could be straight from the daily news." "Fast moving with plenty of
twists. A great read." "At times I felt I was amidst a James Bond
movie or a John le Carre tale with all the threat and paranoia.."
The Inside Story of The Australian Cricket Team's Tour of India -
2013 Find out what "really" happened on the Tour of India through
the wickedly outrageous chronicles of the 17th Man as he picks over
the daily entrails of a Tour gone wrong in his parallel cricketing
universe. Australian Cricket Tours of India always start with
winning expectations that are ever so slowly deflated by stifling
days watching dusty pies belted over the boundary ropes and a curry
smorgasbord that runs through you like the Ganges. Mental
disintegration under pressure is nothing new. Add the spice of
HomeWorkGate, persecution of the Mohali 4, debilitating on-field
performances and a dash of sledging and you have enough explosive
to shake the pillars of Australian cricket. NOW WITH ILLUSTRATIONS
BY JOCK MACNEISH What Readers Say "Funny, considered, intelligent
humour which struck a chord for me as a cricket fan" "Warwick Todd
with bite "

insightful pen of The 17th Man, the last player picked in the

The second half of the once-in-a-lifetime Double Ashes Series
unfolds day by day via the quirky and insightful pen of The 17th
Man, the last player picked in the Australian cricket squad.
England started bristling with confidence, but it soon evaporated
in the heat of the WACA sun, as Australia secured The Ashes and
then steam-rolled England 5-0. All the triumph and controversy is
here - departures and debuts, drop-bears and drop-ins, runs and
runaways, petulance, performers and pretenders wedged between the
odd sledge, broken bats, and a bucket of celebration, capped by
hilarious commentary from the Tests in Tweets. Relive it all in The
17th Man's 'Summer of Shove', the sister volume to 'Summer of the
17th Man, England 2013'.
