TOMMY ORANGE Welcome to Chain-Gang All-Stars - the highly popular, highly controversial profit-raising program inside America's private prison system. Harkening back to the time of gladiators, but watched by millions of live-stream subscribers, prisoners compete for the ultimate prize: their freedom. Loretta Thurwar and Hamara 'Hurricane Staxxx' Stacker, teammates and lovers, are the fan favourites. If all goes well, Thurwar will be free in just a few matches, a fact she carries as heavily as her lethal hammer. But will the price be simply too high? *Roxane Gay's May Selection for the Audacious Book Club* Praise for Nana Adjei-Brenyah's instant New York Times bestseller, Friday Black 'So daring and mind-bending that you haven't a clue where he's going to take you.'
