Because anger and vengeance know no bounds, and like everyone in the blighted town, they become pawns in a game of retribution. The contestants become nothing more than live entertainment to viewers who watch and judge their every move in the town of Prideful as they race each other to arrive alive to a final flag.

Even worse, A.K., the symbol of hope for the rebellion and the world’s first cured Inexorable, begins to buckle under the dark and deadly burdens of war when his comrades need him most.

Truths, Half Truths and Little White Lies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 508min
If I'm going to tell the story of a life, my life, then I need to tell it warts and all. If the tale is too saccharine sweet then what can the reader take away from it? What do they learn about you? I've written everything down. The shit, the death, fun, naughtiness, addiction, laughter, laughter, laughter, some tears and lots of love and happiness. That ,to me, is a better reflection of a human's life. Nick's family life was difficult, blighted by alcoholism, illness and sudden misfortune, meaning they lost everything overnight. He left school early and drifted from job to job, dogged by his own personal demons. It's something of a miracle that Nick survived and even more that he would achieve such success with his writing, acting and comedy. In Truths, Half Truths and Little White Lies, Nick paints a brilliantly funny, moving and brutally candid portrait of childhood, adolescence and eventual success. ungekürzt. Language: English.
