Set in Mumbai, India, this epic story explores the heartaches, the joys, the sorrows, the successes, the failures, the passions, the intrigues, and the drugs. It is a story of love and hatred, revenge, and greed. Revenge Is Not a Game exposes the intricate details of the financial world that motivates and influences the game of cricket. A saga of two very strong characters, drawn together by a common ambition to build the biggest financial and management empire at the highest level of sport. However, sudden and tragic circumstances cut deep into their relationship, inextricably drawing them apart to the point they become bitter enemies. Tony de Silva, India's greatest cricketer, retires at the height of his career. All he plans to do is settle down and relax, that is until he meets Leya Raman, a strikingly beautiful woman, and the owner of a successful financial management company. Leya falls in love with Tony, but he has eyes only for her sister, Karma. Dejected and distraught, Leya swears revenge. Two potential tycoons full of testosterone and ambition play out their rivalry, reaching a climax that ultimately destroys one of them. This book should be read just for the sheer brilliance of John Sealey's storytelling ability, which makes readers eager to want to turn to the next page.(About the Author)John Sealey has spent most of his life in London, England, but on retirement from the film and television industry, now lives by the sea in the county of Essex. "In my travels while filming in India and Sri Lanka, I realised cricket was somewhat of a religion with millions following the game, which gave me the idea to write what goes on behind the game."

Wessex Coaches of Bristol was certainly a company with two faces. The first was that of a very large concern operating day trips to the seaside, carrying out private hire work and operating many local contracts for schools, companies and local institutions. Bristolians still fondly remember the smart red and grey/green Bedford Duples which were a common site for a period of 26 years over the whole of the West Country with depots at Clifton, Kingswood and Chard (Somerset). The other face was that of an anonymous fleet of mainly second-hand Daimler and AEC double deck contract buses carrying workers to power station and motorway construction sites at Hinkley Point, Berkeley, Sizewell, Wylfa (Anglesey), Hartlepool and Heysham etc. on behalf of blue chip companies. Besides the Bedfords there were many interesting older vehicles still in the fleet in the 1960s and very many unseen photographs of these have been obtained from the family archives and other sources to illustrate the story.

Bristolians still remember fondly the smart red and grey buses of Wessex Coaches. For twenty-six years, the fleet was a common sight in and around Bristol, but on 1 August 1974, the company was purchased by the National Bus Company. Of course, Wessex was more than just a bus company. It ran many successful contract hire buses, used for running employees to Heysham's power station and the nuclear plant at Sizewell, among others. Wessex also operated many holiday excursions too. John Sealey tells the story not just of Wessex and its Kingsdown and Chard, Somerset, depots, but also of the many forerunners that went up to make Wessex Coaches.
