After a chance meeting with American journalist Hayes in Vietnam, award-winning author Daniel Mason's wild-eyed narrator finds himself on an adrenaline and testosterone-fuelled trip into a world of pain, risk and desperate men.
As he finds himself taking on Hayes' identity, he is drawn into a seedy underground where men gamble on games of Russian roulette and life is very, very cheap.
Splicing Tarantino-esque violence with the cult allure of The Beach, Rush takes
the reader on a thrilling and suspenseful adventure. This novel took out the
2001 Young Author's award, and there's no denying it deserved the win. Tough
writing and clear characterization makes Mason an author to watch in the future.
