Bookseller Review:

‘In a near future version of the USA, gladiatorial battles between convicts has become the most popular sport in the country.
This book masterfully explores the lives of these “links”, including their reasons for the crimes that got them here, and the complex ways the competition warps their personal psychologies and relationships. It’s a wonderful study on the dark places humanity can reach, whether through momentary passion, or a large-scale loss of empathy for one another.’ – Ade

Description

Welcome to Chain-Gang All-Stars – the highly popular, highly controversial profit-raising program inside America’s private prison system. Harkening back to the time of gladiators, but watched by millions of live-stream subscribers, prisoners compete for the ultimate prize: their freedom. Loretta Thurwar and Hamara ‘Hurricane Staxxx’ Stacker, teammates and lovers, are the fan favourites. If all goes well, Thurwar will be free in just a few matches, a fact she carries as heavily as her lethal hammer. But will the price be simply too high?
