Description:A man can escape from his own loneliness in many ways—with money, or with a woman, or in his imagination. Steve Novak found his escape on the football field. It was as simple as that.He asked for no money from the college. They taught him engineering. Steve made spectacular touchdowns in return. He knew what he wanted; and now, by some miracle, he had found it.And the Steve met his benefactor, the powerful alumnus who paid his tuition—raging, commanding—McCabe, whose grandiose plans went far beyond football, and whose unspoken desires were perhaps the most fearful of all. And Steve’s safe, sunlit world began to dissolve.The Hero is set on an idyllic, fashionable Southern campus, in stadiums packed with hero-craving crowds. Yet this is a story of fury—muted and unleashed. Its football scenes are superb; its love story haunting. But behind all this, The Hero is a tale of suspense that builds up subtly from the moment Steve first discovers Melissa—McCabe’s strange, half-willing captive—to the violence of McCabe’s final destructive orgy.What started for Steve Novak as a dream come true, changed swiftly into a nightmare filled with exciting new pleasures and hidden menace. The reader will wander through it with Steve, observing the impact of bitter disillusion on a troubled, idealistic boy; and watching him emerge a man, shaken but freed.—from the front flap of the dust jacketWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
