{"product_id":"9781456772505","title":"The Paladin","description":"For 7 year-old Raymond Johnson, born in India of Anglo\/Indian parents, his migration to Sydney, Australia, in 1949 is the start of a great adventure. The story follows Raymond’s early life as he struggles through harsh treatment at boarding school and at the hands of his often-violent father’s alcohol induced rages. After marriage at a young age, he joins the Commandos and later sees service with the AATV in Vietnam.  The aftermath of that bloody conflict is his continuing nightmares; a drift into alcohol dependence, marriage break-up and years spent aimlessly drifting from job to job in tough outback-Australian country towns.  A troubled man trying to get his life back together, a man with an honourable code, a modern day Paladin. This is a tale of abuse, love, mateship, courage, degradation and redemption.","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47124357447920,"sku":"9781456772505","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781456772505_p0.jpg?v=1763863456","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781456772505","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
