After moving to America, Nick Wideman - son of a Greek sprinter and an American pole vaulter - is dumbfounded when he is criticized by the black community and ostracized by whites for transferring to all-black Central High School in an attempt to join a nationally acclaimed 400-meter relay team, whose runners are so fast they are called Rocket Men. A school-boy's crush on pretty brown Mia Hunter only adds fuel to the fire as Nick battles reverse discrimination and stiff competition to make the team.

Autorenporträt
Pat Patterson is a paramedic, photographer, and lifelong student of the Holy Shroud of Turin. While studying at the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara during the late 1970s, he served as an assistant to Professor Vernon Miller, Chief Scientific Photographer for the Shroud of Turin Research Project (STURP). Working closely with Miller and other members of the STURP team, Pat contributed to several foundational studies on the Shroud, including research into art history, fluorescence, the effects of direct bodily contact on image formation, and computerized 3D imaging. Pat lectures frequently on the trauma evident in the Shroud, with an emphasis on the profound suffering endured by the man seen on its fibers. Now retired and living in Raleigh, North Carolina, Pat devotes his time to writing, weaving his experiences and spiritual passion into powerful, thought-provoking novels.
