關於這本電子書

Ryan Jefferson never played a down of college football and when as a ‘walk-on’ at the Lions training camp turned the heads of fans and coaches alike he began a journey of discovery and redemption for the city of Detroit. The 22 year old kid quarterback with the golden arm and brains to match was thrust into the role of savior for a franchise long mired in futility and ridicule. Martin Schulman, a retired high school janitor befriended by Ryan is presented with a life altering opportunity and together they dream of a better society filled with the spirit of integrity, honesty, and personal example for the multitude of disbelievers, the downtrodden, and the destitute of America. A fast paced, action packed novel with the bone-crushing realism of smash-mouth football combined with a gentle love story of Ryan Jefferson and his high school sweetheart make this an irresistible read. Sprinkled with moments of hilarity the novel takes the reader on a fun-filled adventure of the lives of an unlikely pride of young Lions. -Onto the frozen tundra galloped the Packer horde led by their aging veteran quarterback who took losing at home as a personal insult and an affront on his character. -Suddenly the ‘black death’ poured out from the depths of hell in a seemingly endless flow of human misery known collectively as the Oakland Raiders. -The Lions had two opponents in New Orleans. The all-powerful Saints and the the mighty Who Dat Nation.
