Orange Town is a fast paced, rollercoaster ride through the hidden and often dangerous world that goes on behind the scenes of one of the biggest construction companies of the early 1990s. It follow[s] the adventures of Rooster as he does his best to protect and help the guys and girls working under him, and as he gets distracted on the way by the fairer sex. Things take a dark turn in later chapters, and Rooster seems like he might have bitten off more than he can chew. Will he have the daring and skill to pull off his hardest challenge yet? This book transforms from what seems to be a straightforward, life on the edge type adventure story into something deeper. Without giving the plot away, some major characters are not all they seem to be at the start, and this depth of character ultimately means that your interest will be kept right until the end. A very entertaining read, I finished the book in a couple of sessions, which is unusual for me as I'm a slow reader. I would highly recommend anyone to read this book, inside or outside of the construction industry. Those inside will get a laugh from glimpses of people they may recognise. Those outside will get a glimpse of people they never thought could exist. I eagerly await the follow ups -Keith O'Connor
