'I couldn't put it down ... Mr Bateman writes with such truth and deceptive simplicity, and always with a smattering of good oul' Ulster humour!' --Liam Neeson

Synopsis
Colin Bateman grew up in the pleasant seaside town of Bangor in Northern Ireland. Ten miles away, the IRA, the UDA, and the UVF were blowing Belfast apart, but he was more concerned with making his first million through the GBA--the Gerbil Breeding Association (sadly short-lived when his gerbils turned out to be cannibals). Inspired by All the President's Men and The Odessa File to become a crusading journalist, Bateman joined the local paper when he was a seventeen-year-old punk rocker, where instead of bringing down Presidents and finding Nazis, he found himself being hunted down by the notorious Kilcooley Strollers, a dance troupe with an axe to grind. So close to the Troubles, yet so far away-- Thunder and Lightning is the story of one boy's journey through the rather soft side of life in a town which lacked tough streets but boasted many cul-de-sacs. A town where an occasional terrorist bomb was seen as an opportunity to profiteer and where his father became a paramilitary by accident.

- k***k (328)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGood seller I'd buy from again
- p***l (110)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGreat condition. It is important to remember that Bill Mason's book was seminal work in its day. Very comprehensive book on canoeing. However, the presentation of information is dated with black and white photos and there are newer books with similar information. I bought it to replace a copy I had years ago; because I feel it belongs in the library of every serious canoeist, especially if you like to do expedition canoeing.
