In this explicit first-hand account, a biker who spent 46 years as a member of the Hells Angels and Satan's Choice invites bestselling author Peter Edwards into the story of life lived as we've only imagined it.

A kid raised by his father's fists on the wrong side of a blue-collar town, Lorne Campbell grew up watching the local bikers ride past, making him wonder what that kind of freedom and power would feel like. He soon found out. At the age of seventeen, he became the youngest-ever member of the Satan's Choice Motorcycle Club and spent the next five decades living a life for which he does not ask forgiveness, only that his story finally be told, and that his family finally understand what drove him to live the way he did. With moments of terror and humour, great sadness and the simple pleasures of camaraderie and the open road, Unrepentant is a book like none other.

Editorial Reviews

Review

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

"The amazingly self-revelatory, and often darkly humorous, self-portrait of a Canadian underground legend; by turns perverse, hilarious, terrible, sad and intensely human--I was sorry when Unrepentant ended. This book rings true." --Mick Lowe, award-winning author of Conspiracy of Brothers

"In the biker world the highest compliment you can pay to another guy is that he is 'solid.' It means trustworthy. Dependable. Loyal. Lorne Campbell, for the sake of his brothers, took the stand and confessed to a crime that he had not been implicated in, in any way, knowing that he might well spend the rest of [his] life in prison. It doesn't get any more solid than that." --Steve Earle, Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter

Good to read about old school respect for the biker brotherhood. Lorne was/is the real deal and we should should all take a lesson from him on how to be a stand-up guy. He's forgot more about being a biker than most of us will ever know.

Enjoyed reading the book as these characters led a different life and the punishment if they screwed up was sometimes harsh. Did like the fact that Mr. Campbell was old school in his ways and thinking which would have made him a good friend.

Honestly it is an interesting story.

We follow the life of Lorne Campbell, a Canadian biker of the Satan's Choice MC, who later becomes a Hells Angel. He tells about his childhood, his youth and we follow him all the way up to his retirement. He is a tough guy, but given his abusive father who beat him constantly, there is not much to fear.

It is a fascinating story, but its based on interviews and police reports, so I found it a little heavy to read. That's why I'm only rating this three stars.

The stories of Campbell's and the people he meet are scary, weird and sometimes hilarious. I would recommend it, if you want an inside peek into the life of a hardcore biker. But like I've written, it is a little heavy to read.

What a great book, It sure brought back some pretty interesting memories. I grew up in Hamilton back in the 60's and 70' when there were alot of Choice members around. They didn't bother you as long as you knew your place and minded your business.

A great read for any true biker. Lorne Campbell is a guy who tells it how it is and doesn't pull any punches. When you finish this book you will have nothing but respect for Lorne a guy who stands by his beliefs.

A great read, and well written with no holds barred ( no pun intended ) book !! I had already read Mick Lowe's book " Conspiracy Of Brothers " no less than 5 times, and am happy to note that Peter Edwards does not constantly dwell on the subject of the Bill Matiyek affair. If a prospective reader of " Unrepentant " feels that they cannot handle a look at what goes on in the real world,.. I suggest you don't read the book. After reading the book, many readers are going to make up their own minds about Lorne Campbell, my own personal opinion is,..Lorne Campbell is a self made man, and is right up there with all of the " Port Hope Eight ", in being one of the most solid persons I have ever read about ( ever ), never detoured from meeting personal problems head on,..and has definitely paid his dues like a man. Good luck to you Lorne Campbell,..always. Thank You Peter Edwards for a great read,..excellent book !!
