SUMMARY

The author of If I Never Get Back returns with a new novel set in the golden age of baseball. Havana Heat takes readers back to 1911 America, where thirty-six-year-old Luther Taylor, legendary deaf pitcher, is trying to work his arm back into fighting shape. A real-life star pitcher for John McGraw's New York Giants. Taylor helped lead his team to the pennant, winning 115 games between 1900 & 1908. But an injury relegated him to the minors, & he dreams of one last shot at the big time. He gets his chance when McGraw invites him to join the Giants on a barnstorming trip to Cuba. There, Taylor faces off against the tough Havana teams ... & meets a deaf Cuban boy with a spectacular pitching arm. Havana Heat transports us back to a time when baseball shaped the lives of generations, & gave us our heroes. "Fast-paced, savvy, & sensitive, Havana Heat is baseball fiction at a level all baseball fiction should reach." --Seattle Times. "This is a good novel that just happens to be about baseball & deserves a wide audience." --San Diego Union-Tribune.Brock, Darryl is the author of 'Havana Heat Library Edition' with ISBN 9780452282339 and ISBN 0452282330.
