Cage Fighter

by David "Tank" Abbott

Released from jail on a bogus conviction for protecting a woman from domestic violence, Walter T. Foxx finds himself living in a garage with only his faithful hound, Adolf, still by his side. Assailed by scumbags, wannabes, and posers looking to increase their reputation by besting Walter in a bar fight, he protects himself with the minimum force necessary to win without being sent back to jail for probation violation and probable felony charges. Just when it seems that nothing will go his way, a chance meeting with someone who knows NHB matchmaker, Big Bart Shady, provides Walter with a possible berth in the NHB fight show on pay-per-view. His shot goes down the drain, though, when he attends the show as a spectator, gets into a drunken altercation with football hall of fame announcer, Tim Black, keeps NHB owner, Stewart Fish, up all night with a loud party in the room next door, and then confronts him the next morning in the hotel lobby not realizing who he is. Losing his only sponsor, Baton Sportwear, gained with the promise of him appearing on the next NHB pay-per-view show, Walter returns to Happening Beach in despair. His situation goes from bad to worse when an unscrupulous bar owner attempts to extort his entire life savings when his security camera records Walter defending himself from a drunken, pool-cue-wielding attacker in the parking lot. Walter knows that if he uses the last of his resources to pay his way out of trouble he will be left with no money, no hope and no future. With no one in Happening Beach on his side and with no clue of what to do with his life, Walter decides to go around Big Bart and his referee and assistant, Little Winchell Duncan, in a desperate attempt to get into the NHB or die trying!

4.25 stars

Book 3 of Tank’s “Fiction”
This one tells his story of finally getting into the ring of the “NHB”
If you are a Tank fan, listen to his episode on Rogan then read all 3 books!

pretty good

Not quite as good as the other two but finished off the trilogy nicely. I’d like to see more from him.
