Any Day You Can Die
The Medellin Story
Medellín, Colombia. The City of Eternal Spring. Mecca for digital nomads.¿ ¿Recently single and burnt out from Melbourne's corporate scene, Tony Fletcher heads to Medellín in search of a reset.¿ ¿After moving into a frat house in the city's nightlife hub, Tony becomes fascinated by the burgeoning gringo subculture that's fueled by sex, drugs and currency arbitrage. Adrift and dead broke, Tony launches a dubious business on the dark web and gets thrust into the world of international drug trafficking.¿ ¿Under the cloak of a sham crypto coin, Tony and his associates begin living out their wildest fantasies. Yet there's trouble in paradise - the natural order has been disturbed. No one climbs to the top without stepping on some toes.¿ ¿Every day is a blessing. Every friend could be a foe. Every dream can become a nightmare. ¿¿¿¿"A tell-all gringo adventure that makes you want to delete Facebook, drink mojitos, and hope your small crypto fortune someday turns to platinum gold." - FROTHTOWN ¿¿¿¿"If The Rum Diary, American Psycho, The Wolf Of Wall Street, and Scarface had an orgy Any Day You Can Die would be the result." - LITJUNKIE ¿¿¿¿"An explicit study of human behaviour disguised as an expatriate's unscrupulous capers in Medellín. Waite has created something unique and modern, carefully displaying the possibilities open to us in the world of technology and commodity, whilst exposing us for who we truly are when faced with immoral self-gratification." - BOOK ODYSSEY "Any Day You Can Die has the style and instant literary punch that reminds me of Chuck Palahniuk. Thommy Waite writes crisp clear cut storytelling that you find yourself getting addicted to." - TRAINWRECK TENDENCIES "It's been a while since I've read a transgressive novel as good as this, a proper good romp filled with sex, drugs, booze, a wee bit more sex and a pinch more drugs and a whole load of intrigue. Imagine the guys from Trainspotting with some crazy IT skills, picture the damage and chaos they could cause and that is the book you've got here." - GNOME APPRECIATION SOCIETY ¿¿¿¿"Any Day You Can Die is a wild, sharp, fiercely adventurous ride into a world few of us know but may wish to leap into for a time simply for the adrenaline rush, as long as we can jump back out when we feel unsafe." - WRITER SHED PRESS ¿¿¿¿"This book is, in some ways, the reflection of humanity that you dare not see. It goes hand-in-hand (and dick-in-hand) with your dirty Jungian Shadow." - AHEAD OF THE CURVE ¿"Any Day You Can Die is a fantastic novel to kick off this decade. Its ruthless critique of 'dude-bro' culture is superb in the same way American Psycho criticized Wall Street culture." - A FISTFUL OF FILM ¿¿¿¿"The story of an Australian gringo expat who's silly exploits splice out of the book like a broken condom full of bad ideas." - A THIN SLICE OF ANXIETY
