by Jim Eyre When the first part of Jim Eyre's autobiography, It's Only a Game, ended in the 1960s it left readers eager to read more of his extraordinary life and times. Now, Jim's story continues in The Game Goes On. If you enjoyed the first book or are being introduced to this master storyteller for the first time, you will avidly devour every word and wonder how, given all his escapades, Jim has survived for so long. Join Jim in The Game Goes On as he seeks the world's deepest cave on the end of a winch, learns SRT when it is introduced to the UK, rescues others and is rescued himself from halfway down an immense pitch, and escapes from bandits – but he is never far from his favourite caves in the Dales. Add stories of losing and gaining a wife, travelling through India, Iran, Greece, Mexico and Spain (with a trip to Mendip thrown in for good measure) and even how publishing can land you in deep trouble. His is a rare talent but let no one be misled: these are outrageously told tales accompanied with Jim's trademark, a set of definitely non-PC cartoons. These books are filled with a caver's black humour and, as the saying goes, are definitely not for maiden aunts. Or the squeamish. Or politicians, sheep or chickens ...
