Synopsis

Waiting For Carver Boyd is Thomas Hauser's most riveting work to date. It tells the tale of a young fighter who rises from obscurity to challenge for the most coveted prize in sports, the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world. It's a special book that moves back and forth with increasing intensity between the bright lights and shadows of professional sports. It's about hope, anger, loss and belief in oneself. It's a love story with a special twist. On occasion, a unique book breaks with traditional thinking and demands attention. Waiting For Carver Boyd is different from any novel you've ever read. Spend an hour with it. You won't be disappointed. The experience will stay with you forever.

Media Reviews
'This is the extraordinary story of a young prospect who rejects hate and instead chooses to be inspired by love on his journey through life and the rigours of the fight game. Hauser is one of boxing's truly perceptive voices and the touching simplicity of this story belies its depth.' The Sunday Express 'Hauser's new book can be read in one breathless sitting...Bringing a spectator sport to life on the page is no mean feat, and Hauser pulls it off, in spare and direct prose.' The Times 'It is raw, painful, beautiful and, above all, real. This is one hell of a book.' Secondsout.com
