Talis and the Thousand Tasks

The Great Tournament

The Purlieu basketball team is doing very badly, so badly that Jack Jackson has threatened to withdraw his sponsorship if they don't win the next match! If that isn't enough, their next opponents are the Sharks - an invincible team... Talis, a real military strategist, is admirably equipped to harangue his troops into winning the tournament ­ or at least, the match!
