Heavy Duty People (Brethren Trilogy #1)
And I must say that I enjoyed it.
This is a fiction-mystery genre book.
When loyalty to his bike club and his brothers has been Damage's life and route to wealth, what happens when business becomes serious and brother starts killing brother?
Heavy Duty People is the story of a biker which is quite well written by author/journalist Iain Park and Martin Robertson who's nickname in the book is Damage.
The story takes place in the UK. It's the story of Damage's journey, from when he was a teenager, joining a charter, known to us here as a chapter and growing with them as a biker. This club is an independent one known as The Legion. This club is all about brothers being loyal to one another. Across the rest of the world, the biker's gang wars are raging and it starts to echo into the UK. And so one day the president of the The Brethren called Dazza, the top charter of the UK, makes an offer to The Legion to join them. Because smaller charters across the UK are joining bigger ones if not there are wars. And so The Legion guys are fused into The Brethren except for those who don't want to , those have their patches removed.
But Dazza is driven by power and money more then loyalty. Nothing will stand in his way to get it, not even murder. So when her gets Damage's 3 best buddies killed, Damage swears he will get revenge. He then plans his revenge with some of his brothers that had their patches removed.
SO when the time comes, Damage and his brothers take over Dazza and his goons and he becomes the new President of The Brethren.
From what I understand and what I read, the writer must rider a bike also. Because, the way he describes the bikes and the way they ride in the book gave me the impression of actually being on a bike.
It was awesome. I could almost sense the wind in my hair.
Riding must be a passion for him.
I give this book 4 stars.
Biker clubs meets Machiavelli (not biker clubs meets Hamlet = Sons of Anarchy). Interesting twist at the end with change of point of view. Well plotted with Damage a believable and sympathetic character.
This coke and shit doesnt smuggle itself in yknow? It takes a bit of good old entrepreneurial risk-taking and effort on somebodys part sos you can get off your face. Theres demand, we take the risk and supply, and we get the rewards. Aint that how its supposed to work? Anyway, big tobacco sells stuff that kills you and if youve got a pension I bet you own some of it.Heavy Duty People is a hard-nosed crime thriller set in the world of outlaw bikers. His club and his brothers have been Damages
Reviewed on behalf of 2 Girls Who Love Books Blog.Heavy Duty People was totally different than I expected. This book is read as a biography type setting. We follow Damage and his life in the MC Club. This story is very unique and it shows the true life as an MC member. We experience his life as a prospect and as a member of the club. The storyline takes a twist as two clubs join togethor. Three of Damages closest brothers get killed. He wants nothing more than to seek revenge. And take over the
3.5 starsI was given this book free through Story Cartel in exchange for a review. I eventually liked this story, but it took until almost the end before I decided that. It was rather flat, and there wasn't much action until about half, maybe 2/3 of the way through. I never really considered abandoning it, but I kept waiting for all the excitement. When it finally arrived, it was abrupt and surprising. I think the surprise was what redeemed the story. Maybe. I mean, I'm on the fence about it,
True biker noir. The author knows this world, and brings it into the readers world with no apologies needed nor accepted. Smashmouth writing with a strong storyline and characters who jump off the page and drag you along for the ride!
This is a great read. I found I couldn't put it down and finished it under 24 hours. It gripped me.Written in the first person, outlaw biker gang member Martin "Damage" Robertson takes us into the fascinating and secretive world of the biker gangs. His story takes us from his early beginnings as a young biker taken under the wing of the local bike gang, The Reivers, through The Legion and onto one of the big 6 world renowned outlaw biker gangs, The Brethren. We learn of the rights of passage,
