I was alerted to this writer by somebody who dropped in here a while ago with a comment and, needless to say, had to get hold of a copy. 

I'm really behind with review writing at the moment and I promise to extract that digit later in the week - but in the meantime I'm churning through some book reading!

From the Blurb:

In between drug deals and binge-drinking, reckless driving and street fights, the delinquents of the Brotherhood wage the holiest of wars. Yes, they will derail the Juggernaut before it can suicide ... or have a ball trying at least.  But when one of them falls prey to Roto-Vegas gang memebers, the cultural terrorists mobilise in earnest.

Opening Lines:

They're at it again.  Flexing muscle, that is.  Hardly surprising really: the sun's been down for hours.  Hardly disappointing either: it's what we've been waiting for.

In between drug deals and binge-drinking, reckless driving and street fights, the delinquents of the Brotherhood wage the holiest of wars. Yes, they will derail the Juggernaut before it can suicide . or have a ball trying at least. But when one of them falls prey to Roto-Vegas gang members, the cultural terrorists mobilise in earnest. Revenge takes them on a road-trip - a coming of age from hell. It is a journey to the corners of a collective psyche peopled by nightmares as real as the headlines of today, a New Zealand the tourists and executives had better pray they never stumble upon. Alone and gut-shot, the Juggernaut closing in, the Brotherhood will rally for an audacious final stand, a last ditch fight for their minds and their lives . and perhaps for the future of us all. Craig Marriner is New Zealand's response to Irivine Welsh and Quentin Tarantino. His first novel will make you cringe and shudder, then wet yourself laughing. Its raw and scathing prose breaks new ground against the backdrop of a world-view as chilling as the nightly news.
