Publisher's Summary
The Contention book series is based on the world of horse racing and will intoxicate listeners who love adventure, sport, crime, and mystery. It will even capture lovers of romance. Its a mixture of the TV series Dallas and Yellowstone.
Book one, Contention, introduces Logan Weston, a down-on-his-luck Australian racehorse trainer who can't seem to catch a break. Angus Masters, his arrogant training archrival born with a silver spoon in his mouth, has kicked Logan in the guts one too many times. First Angus took Logan's wife, and now he has stolen his prize horse out from under him. When Logan lays out Angus Masters cold with one punch, he is arrested and suspended from racing. His world is turned upside down. But when the Aussie underdog is offered a dream job in England by the Baker Racing empire, his life looks to be turning around....
The Contention book series follows Logan's rags-to-riches journey and captures the greatest moments on the racetrack between horse, rider, trainer, and owner. It delves into the dark criminal underworld of the racing industry and takes you on a roller-coaster ride of race fixing, extortion, drug dealing, and money laundering.
Finally, a book series written by a hands-on horseman with more than 40 years' experience in the Australian racing industry. Stephen Irwin captures the exhilaration, triumphs, and tragedies of horse racing in a book series that will captivate you from the very start.

If you love horse racing you’ll love this yarn!
Being the first audio book I have listened to it took me a little while to get into the pace of the reader but once I got in sync it was a brilliant experience. The narrator is very talented as he brings many characters to life as the book progresses. Initially I thought the storyline was very basic but as the story unfolded I became entrenched in wanting to keep listening as I was intrigued by the intermingling relationships of all the characters. Now I can’t wait to read the rest of this series.
