About This Item
Three Story Press (2004), 2004. Paperback. Fine. SIGNED and INSCRIBED by author. Octavo, softcover, fine in black, blue and red pictorial wraps. Clean, unmarked. The white-knuckle pace of a bicycle race drives this novel about a young American's opportunity to compete in the Tour de France. Complex relationships with teammates, personal and professional obstacles, and a terrible disaster cause the young cyclist to redefine his limits. An insider's perspective on the world of professional bicycle racing reveals that the required tactics and skills create a culture in which pain is the ultimate currency and endurance is the most powerful force.
