THE DEADBEAT DADS CLUB by Nicola Lonie

RELEASED 2025

In 1984, three young army recruits - Alex, Neil, and Chris - forge an unbreakable bond amid the brutal hardships of a military boot camp. Three decades later, their lives are shattered in ways they could never have foreseen.

Alexander Cage, a global icon, sees his fame and fortune collapse in a fierce battle against a vengeful ex-wife and a merciless family court that unjustly strips him of his fatherhood.

Neil Wallace, fuelled by a soldier’s grit, rises in politics to fight parental alienation from within, only to be undermined and threatened by a corrupt, ruthless bureaucracy.

Chris Evans, scarred by war and haunted by grief, wrestles with despair as the broken system fails him and his children.

Their families splintered, their children collateral damage, The Deadbeat Dads Club emerges - a bold stand against a prejudiced legal machine and a lifeline for non-resident parents everywhere.

A gripping saga of friendship, loss, and the relentless struggle for love and legacy amid the debris of Parental Alienation, a scourge tearing families apart worldwide.
