4TH AND FIXED
Book ID/图书代码: 12311004B05802
English Summary/英文概要: 4th and Fixed is a stunning novel about a pair of memorable wiseguys who against all odds fix a season’s worth of NFL games. Written with an authentic voice that could only come from a former NFL player, Reggie Rivers bursts into fiction with a force and style reminiscent of Peter Gent’s classic bestseller North Dallas Forty.
4th and Fixed goes inside the world of professional football like no other book, and does so with an unforgettable set of characters: Michael Gasca, the ultimate, clever fixer; hisliterally larger-than-life partner, Roscoe Evans, a 320-pound enforcer; Jonathan Kinneson, the devious new owner of the San Antonio Stallions willing to do the unthinkable to snag his team a Super Bowl victory; Trevor Deale, the star quarterback of the Stallions who can read a defense in the blink of the center’s snap; Trevor’s gorgeous, bitchy and untrustworthy girlfriend; and Steven Oquist, an NFL special agent charged with keeping illegal gambling and the mob on the sidelines.
4th and Fixed is as riveting as the last moments of a tied Super Bowl game.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 4th and Fixed是部极其精彩的小说,它是以真实的口吻所撰写的,只有真正经历过美国国家足球联赛的人才能写的出这样的作品,就如Reggie Rivers,他的这部突发奇想的小说所用的笔法及这部小说的风格让我们不禁回想起Peter Gent的经典畅销小说North Dallas Forty.没有一本小说能象4th and Fixed一样走进美式职业足球,也没有一部小说能给我们留下这样一群令人难忘的人物:Michael Gasca和他的搭档,重达320磅的Roscoe Evans; Jonathan Kinneson,一个怪异的圣安东尼奥牡马队的新老板,他会做出一些让人费解的事情——阻止自己的队伍获取超级球赛的冠军;Trevor Deale,,牡马队的明星四分卫和他漂亮却水性扬花的女朋友,还有就是Steven Oquist,美国国家足球的特别代理,负责阻止非法赌球和足球流氓闹事。这样一群有趣的人物在一起,你说会发生什么好玩的事呢?本书是一部扣人心弦的经典小说,他的精彩程度决不会亚于一场打平的超级联赛的的最后几分钟。
