wonderfulCombining a determined, hopeful sports story with something that reads very like a James Bond novel, this grabbed me straight away. Five very strong characters with true voices and diverse personalities, pull the reader straight into the action. There is adventure, espionage, intrigue and some amazing innovation. The reader may even pick up a few tips to help them up their own game. Siggins characteristic descriptive elements are present in force and are used to great effect to build a story that is really hard to put down. The passion and knowledge for his subject is transferred to the reader and, in this 'sports' story, there is something for everyone. Can't wait to read the next instalment
