Titles in This Set: The Game Ticket to the World: My 80s Story Condition: BRAND NEW Format: Hardback ISBN (The Game): 9780008626792 ISBN (Ticket to the World): 9780008586041 Publisher: HarperCollins Age Range: Adult Overview: The Martin Kemp Collection brings together two very different sides of the Spandau Ballet star and EastEnders actor's storytelling. The Game is a gritty, high-octane thriller following a fallen 80s popstar dragged into London's criminal underworld, while Ticket to the World is Kemp's own joyous, nostalgic memoir of the decade that made him famous. Together they offer fiction lovers and music fans alike an entertaining hardback set that pairs page-turning drama with heartfelt real-life reflection, all from one of Britain's most recognisable entertainers. About the Books: In The Game, Martin Kemp introduces Johnny Klein, a rock casualty who has lost his family, his money and his fame. Thrown a lifeline by an old contact in the music business, Johnny is dragged into East London's dark underbelly, discovering there is far more at stake than his shattered ego. It's a breathless page-turner blending suspense and redemption, marking Kemp's fiction debut, praised by reviewers as gritty and heartbreaking. Ticket to the World: My 80s Story takes a different tone entirely, a joyous celebration of the decade that shaped Kemp's life, opening on New Year's Eve 1979 as his family gathers around the kitchen table counting down to a new decade. From the rise of Spandau Ballet to the wider cultural revolution in music and fashion, Kemp shares first-hand memories of punk giving way to the pop explosion, and the highs and hardships of fame. Read together, the two books contrast fiction exploring the darker side of celebrity with a warm, personal account of the real era that inspired it, making this a thoughtful hardback set for any bookshelf or gift occasion. Key Benefits: Combines Martin Kemp's debut thriller with his own bestselling 80s memoir in one hardback set. Appeals to both fiction readers and music/pop-culture fans in a single collection. Brand new hardback editions, ideal for gifting or collecting. Written by a genuinely well-known British entertainer with first-hand industry experience. A great conversation-starting gift for Spandau Ballet, EastEnders or 80s music fans.
