Omschrijving

A Skinhead classic in the tradition of the great Richard Allen novels, and the first book written by Simon Wellington.


The Youth

Fighter, lover, musician; 18-year old Mark Heaney walks the skinhead path and faces trouble head on. He'll rumble if you cross him, he'll steal your girlfriend's heart if you're not careful, and as the lead singer of a ska/oi band known as the Juice Monkey's, he'll set your nightclub on fire with some great energy!

It all changes however, when Mark's father loses his job, and he has no choice but to join the army to help support his family. He leaves high school in the final year and is trained as a medic within the Canadian army. Later as his service time increases, Mark finds himself Para qualified and is attached to the Canadian Airborne Regiment. He sees action on battlefields and in bedrooms around the world until, six years later, he becomes a man in all senses of the word.

The Man

With his father dying after a tragic work site accident, Mark decides to return home to his home turf in order to assist his mother in raising the rest of the family. Working as an ambulance paramedic in Vancouver's skid row opens his eyes even further to life on the street. It helps to pay the bills to some degree but it's usually only a part time job that is incredibly stressful and thankless. The only consolation is meeting Terri Battle who is one of the pretty waitresses at his favourite venue and drinking spot - the Skavoovee Tavern. It's not long before Mark is working there himself as an assistant manager.

Skavoovee

It's the place where Terri works. It's where Mark's band got its first start. It's home to so many of the cities subcultures - including skinhead's, punk rocker's, and a host of other people that identify with the vibe of the place. Mark is proud to call it his second home.

But one night when a bunch of American Skinhead wannabe's try to cause trouble in the tavern, Mark makes a point to voice his displeasure and sends several of them to hospital. 

In retaliation, the boneheads from down south make it a priority to get back at Mark by kidnapping his younger sister. The war has started. Will he and his commando friends survive?
