But when the devastating truth of V’s past is exposed, threatening both her career and their second chance, Sam finds himself asking a different question: does he have what it takes to win back her love?

Today We Die a Little!: The Inimitable Emil Zátopek, the Greatest Olympic Runner of All Time
by Richard AskwithFor a decade after the Second World War, Emil Zátopek-"the Czech Locomotive"-redefined his sport, pushing back the frontiers of what was considered possible in terms of training, record-setting, and medal winning. He won five Olympic medals, set 18 world records, and went undefeated over 10,000 metres for six years. His dominance has never been equaled. And in the darkest days of the Cold War, he stood for a spirit of generous friendship that transcended nationality and politics. Zátopek was an energetic supporter of the Prague Spring in 1968, championing "socialism with a human face" in Czechoslovakia.But for this he paid a high price. After the uprising was crushed by Soviet tanks, the hardline Communists had their revenge. Zátopek was expelled from the army, stripped of his role in national sport, and condemned to years of hard and degrading manual labor: cleaning toilets in a uranium mine. Only the protests of the sporting world saved him from a worse fate. By the time he was rehabilitated in 1989, he was old and broken, a shadow of the man he had been. Based on interviews with people across the world who knew him, as well as his widow, fellow Olympian Dana Zátopková, journalist Richard Askwith breathes new life into the man and the myth and uncovers a glorious age of athletics and an epoch-defining time in world history.

Todo pasa
by Hernán CastilloLa biografía no autorizada de Julio Grondona. La historia del hombre que llegó a manejar el dinero de la FIFA sin hablar inglés. Eterno. Camaleónico. Poderoso. El repaso de la vida de Julio Grondona remite inmediatamente a esas palabras. Un hombre de códigos, buenos o malos. Guiños y favores son conceptos asociados a su historia. Una historia atravesada por negociaciones y negocios, repleta de apuestas fuertes. Una historia en la que el inoxidable presidente de la AFA se sentó mano a mano con dictadores y representantes de la democracia. Con radicales y peronistas, con amigos y enemigos; en la AFA y en la FIFA. Negoció y convivió con todos. Él mismo se burla de quienes lo investigan: "Tengo más denuncias que Al Capone". Guste o no, es el dirigente más influyente de la historia del fútbol argentino, y él lo sabe. Aquí, un repaso por su vida. Una vida semejante a la de Dr Jekill y Mr Hyde, ese personaje de ficción que, en él, parece real.

Together on Top of the World: The Remarkable Story of the First Couple to Climb the Fabled Seven Summits
by Susan Ershler Phil ErshlerOn May 16, 2002, Phil and Susan Ershler reached the top of Mt. Everest and became the first couple in history to scale the fabled Seven Summits. What made their achievement all the more remarkable was that Susan was not a mountain climber, but a high-powered Fortune 500 executive who had never hiked or climbed until she met Phil at the age of 36. Phil, a professional mountain guide who was the first American to summit Everest from its treacherous north face, had climbed his whole life with Crohn's disease, a chronic, debilitating illness. Adding to these challenges, just before their final summit, Phil was diagnosed with colon cancer, and the resulting surgeries and complications were expected to end his career. This is Susan and Phil's story: a tale of love set in the mountains, a story of triumphal highs and devastating lows in quest of a seemingly impossible dream.
