A Novel
By Steven Decker
Best friends Michael Stevens and Billy Dexter have been athletic rivals their entire lives, first in youth swimming, then in high school track, and finally in triathlon. A terrible accident plunges their exceptional athletic careers into a long hiatus, but when they meet Liza Whitlock and Allie West, two extraordinary athletes themselves, a final reckoning is inevitable. Culminating in two thrilling world championship triathlon races, Distant Finish is a compelling look at the beauty and agony of sport merging with life itself.
