Fireball

Tyler Keevil

This is the tale of a disillusioned teenager who idolises his dysfunctional best friend, long after his tragic death. The short disjointed scenarios of unsequenced events, set over a period of four months, gives this novel an edgy and youthful pace.

Extract

He threw his can down in the sand. I never beat him at shotgunning. He had this way of opening his throat and guzzling ridiculously fast. It was another one of his super abilities - like his extra hard skull.
