Hold on tight, Gavin Winter's novel "The Matabi Contract" will take you from Manchester to the heart of Africa where the main character, Edward Steel, finds himself embroiled in a coup d'état and encounters many adventures while left to fight for his life with a small group of similarly hapless Europeans. The flavor of Africa is very strong throughout this fast-paced, realistic drama. Full of action and a fast pace, there is everything to keep the reader engaged - suspense, romance, tragedy, and humor - all in sequence until the end. Well-written and beautifully crafted with just a hint of James Bond surrounding the main character, "The Matabi Contract" will immerse the reader in the stark reality of life in an unstable but beautiful political environment. Gavin Winter's book will hold the reader's attention until the very last page. You won't want to put it down!
About the author
Born in 1931, Gavin Winter grew up in County Durham to a middle-class family. He received a good education at secondary school and Durham University and achieved many sporting achievements, particularly in football and athletics. His National Service between 1950 and 1952 gave him experience with the Parachute Regiment in Egypt, a country then suffering from division and terrorism, which may have been the initial inspiration for the Matabei Contract. He worked in the iron and steel industry, then in construction, which provided him with the environment to set up his own company in 1977, from which he retired in 1996. He is married with two daughters and two sons from his first wife and six grandchildren. He enjoys playing tennis, ballroom dancing, playing the piano, and gardening. The Matabei Contract is Gavin's first novel. He is currently working on a sequel, documenting further exploits of Edward Steel and his companions, to be titled The Mpasi Project.
