BOOK SYNOPSIS
Ben Stokes is not cast in the same mould as the vast majority of English cricketers.
Fiery, combative, gladiatorial - he plays the game hard and with great gusto. He bats, bowls and fields at full throttle.
Whether it's thrashing the fastest ever Test century at Lord's, or the quickest ever Test double-hundred by an Englishman, or destroying the Australian batting at Trent Bridge, Stokes plays the game he loves with his heart on his sleeve and with 100% effort and commitment. Cricket fans adore him for it.
Firestarter focuses on the pivotal moments in his life and career so far. These episodes are vibrant, emotional, poignant - revealing the man in three dimensions, red in tooth and claw. They provide a riveting insight into one of the most exhilarating figures in sport today.
