Underdogs. Bullies. Corruption. Impossible odds. Sportsmanship. Honor. Perseverance. Generosity. Love. And, for those who swing that way, ultrarunning. The story was a tad formulaic but the writing was superb. Although I'll never fully understand ultr...more

Human history is replete with tragedy. But when we're talking the annihilation (both intentional and inadvertent) of entire civilizations; when those civilizations have no written records or their records are deliberately destroyed; when an entire he...more
