Product Description

Synopsis
After lifting the World Club Trophy in Japan, a group of professional footballers crash-land in an inhospitable jungle. With little food or water, and even less hope of rescue, the pampered stars attempt to make their way to civilisation. But the mysterious jungle holds more surprises and dangers than any of them could have imagined. The players' character, resolve and sense of humour are set to be truly tested.

4.0 out of 5 stars A complete convert, 9 Nov 2008
By Musicmakers "Xenia" (Norwich) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I came to this book with a completely open mind and no pre-conceptions..The only previous reading that had even a tenous link to this book was the Man who Hated Football by Will Buckley. I laughed all the way through that ! Back to Away Day..an excellent read and an excellent first novel from David Fairley.. Perfect for curling up on the sofa on a grey-skied Autumnal afternoon. This whisks you away to another world and has a comfortable pace to make you want to stay there. The writing has a freshness which stimulates the imagination and keeps you engaged throughout.I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a breath of fresh air in their fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Adventure, 26 Oct 2008
By Michael Craig (Baton Rouge, Louisiana) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Away Day is full of memorable characters who are evocative of famous names in football without any of them falling into cliche. This is a fun survival narrative with plenty of action, humor, and smart natural dialogue. Highly recommended.
