This is the second edition of Ultra Violence: Re-released to coincide with the release of the sequel, Violent Disorder. It is new and improved. Minor re-editing has taken place, as well as a new cover (in symmetry with the sequel, featuring some of the characters featured in both books). Otherwise it is the same book. Keep the original in good nick - it might already be a collector's item! ****Forty. Receding pate. Dental problems. Failing marriage. Delinquent son. Psycho boss parachuted in to cut the big earners. A few lost marbles.It hadn't always been like this. He used to be a Face. A Player. A Terrace Celebrity. Now he's just another faceless nobody on the brink of despair in a world he no longer recognises. Yet, one freezing winter's day, a chance meeting with a face from the old days at Notts County changes everything. Especially when there's an intriguing proposition on the table. One he may find difficult to refuse.****Ultra Violence is the thrilling, humourous, nihilistic and sometimes moving story, told partially in flashback, of one man's journey from idealistic young fan to major football hooligan set against the shadow of a grim and soulless middle age in the bustling English city of Nottingham.Read more, including sample chapters and cover aetiology throughout:http://greenwizardcarla.blogspot.co.uk/ No library descriptions found. |
