Book Description
"I'm still trying to sort out my emotions after finishing this book. The ending was totally not what I expected. At first I was angry, but as I sat and thought about the book as a whole, I realized that it was an incredibly clever read. The ending had a significant impact on me, stressing me out. I experienced a wave of different emotions, each having a profound influence on my sleep. The next morning I was still going back and forth as to whether or not I actually liked the book. In fact, I went back and forth on my opinion for hours. In the end I thought Brooks did a wonderful job. Not many novels allow you to feel so many different emotions. I went from annoyance, to shock, to anger, and finally clarity about the situation. How many authors are able to bring out so many emotions from their readers?"-Goodreads Reviewer A one-of-kind thriller that takes place during the biggest annual cycling race-The Tour de France 21 Days of exhilarating action A covenant jersey being battled over by teammates A young man struggling with internal demons When Nick Carney is asked to ride the Tour de France in support of his teammate, and last year's winner, Jack Bomber, he never imagined he would be in the yellow jersey after the prologue. Now he has to contend with tension building within the team. Jack will do whatever is necessary to win, but at what cost to Nick. Each stage proves to be a battleground between the two men. The physical and mental toll to win the Tour is hard enough. When the competition comes from within your own team it's only a matter of time until the Team Director must make difficult choices-a side must be taken-there can only be one winner. Is Nick capable of keeping the yellow jersey until the final stage to become one of the youngest riders in history to win the Tour? Will Nick be able to overcome the dark thoughts that alter his perception of reality and threaten to ruin him? Who will end up with the final yellow jersey? The road to glory doesn't always lead to victory

Ultimate Glory
Author: David Gessner
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0735210578
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
A story of obsession, glory, and the wild early days of Ultimate Frisbee. David Gessner devoted his twenties to a cultish sport called Ultimate Frisbee. Like his teammates and rivals, he trained for countless hours, sacrificing his body and potential career for a chance at fleeting glory without fortune or fame. His only goal: to win Nationals and go down in Ultimate history as one of the greatest athletes no one has ever heard of. With humor and raw honesty, Gessner explores what it means to devote one’s life to something that many consider ridiculous. Today, Ultimate is played by millions, but in the 1980s, it was an obscure sport with a (mostly) undeserved stoner reputation. Its early heroes were as scrappy as the sport they loved, driven by fierce competition, intense rivalries, epic parties, and the noble ideals of the Spirit of the Game. Ultimate Glory is a portrait of the artist as a young ruffian. Gessner shares the field and his seemingly insane obsession with a cast of closely knit, larger-than-life characters. As his sport grows up, so does he, and eventually he gives up chasing flying discs to pursue a career as a writer. But he never forgets his love for this misunderstood sport and the rare sense of purpose he attained as a member of its priesthood.
