House of Bond tells the rags-to-riches-to-rags tale of controversial business tycoon Alan Bond from the 1960s to the 1990s. It follows the story of a cheeky, knockabout "Ten Pound Pom" who rose through the back alleys of Fremantle to become one of Australia's wealthiest and most iconic sporting heroes. The book explores Bond's insatiable appetite for excess: women, fame, money, crime, and everything in between. However, his ego, greed, and ambition ultimately led him to overreach beyond all measure, resulting in his empire collapsing and leaving him as the country's greatest villain with one of the biggest ever bankruptcies. House of Bond is a story that defines the 1980s by dreaming big and rewriting the rule book both as a hero and a villain.
