| Publisher Description: THE GREATEST GAME A Novel of Sport, Comedy, Romance and Adventure (with a kick ) by Paul Smith THE GREATEST GAME unites sport, comedy and romance with a 'lost in the wilderness' adventure. It is the story of a clash of rival codes of football (Australian and American), two sets of lovers and two cultures: the most ancient and modern. It takes up the challenge to discover... what is The Greatest Game? It is spectacular, hilarious, sexy, fast-paced and full of surprises and witty conversations. Get to know the innocent (American) youth abroad, the tough Irishman, the down-to-earth beautiful Australian female, the over-the-top sexy Southern belle and her millionaire father and the wise old aborigine, his loving grandson and many others in novel that spans 50,000 years and two continents. Who will finish up in bed with whom? What happened to the ten lost Australian Rules football players in the wilds of Tasmania that was so outrageous that they took an oath in blood never to reveal it? Who invented The Greatest Game and who kicked the greatest winning goal? What is THE GREATEST GAME?
