You Are an Ironman
By:"Jacques Steinberg"
Published on 2011-09-15 by Penguin

A New York Times bestselling author takes readers inside the Ironman triathlon. As he did so masterfully in his New York Times bestseller, The Gatekeepers, Jacques Steinberg creates a compelling portrait of people obsessed with reaching a life-defining goal. In this instance, the target is an Ironman triathlon-a 2.4-mile open-water swim followed by a 112-mile bike ride, then finally a 26-mile marathon run, all of which must be completed in no more than seventeen hours. Steinberg focuses not on the professionals who live off the prize money and sponsorships but on a handful of triathletes who regard the sport as a hobby. Vividly capturing the grueling preparation, the suspense of completing each event of the triathlon, and the spectacular feats of human endurance, Steinberg plumbs the physical and emotional toll as well as the psychological payoff on the participants of the Ford Ironman Arizona 2009. His You Are an Ironman is both a riveting sports narrative and a fascinating, behind-the scenes study of what makes these athletes keep going..

David Haller è il figlio del Professor Xavier, anche se il fondatore degli X-Men è stato una figura paterna assente e – secondo il ragazzo – gli ha preferito i suoi studenti. In compenso, David è uno dei mutanti più potenti del pianeta: a ogni sua personalità corrisponde un potere. Sì, perché David Haller è schizofrenico e dentro la sua testa c’è un’intera “Legione” di voci che scalpitano per uscire e manifestarsi. E non tutte queste personalità sono buone... La più originale e provocatoria serie Marvel degli ultimi anni, un viaggio nella follia e un punto di vista inedito sul mondo degli X-Men, scritto con umorismo nero da Si Spurrier e illustrato da Tan Eng Huat (Ghost Rider, Deadpool) e Jorge Molina (A-Force, Star Wars).

The Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove
By:"Joann H. Jeffries","Roger D. Jeffries"
Published on 2011-07 by Tate Publishing

Lineville, Iowa, is your typical small town: box-lunch auctions, doors left unlocked, and plenty of gossip. So the last thing Lineville's inhabitants expect the summer of 1920 is murder. When snooty Sophia Vander Veen, part owner of the Mineral Springs Resort, is found murdered after the disastrous Fourth of July ball, not many people are upset. But Maude Lovett, a self-styled detective who prides herself in her shrewd observation abilities, vows to get to the bottom of the murder and the malicious pranks that led up to Sophia's death. Maude makes it her duty to determine if the pranks—a snake in Sophia's closet, a headless statue in her bed, and noxious gas in her suite of rooms—and the murder were committed by the same person. With suspects from bootleggers to close acquaintances to waiters at the Mineral Springs Resort, Maude has her work cut out for her and must quickly eliminate suspects in order to squelch rising fear. With help from her niece, Lilly, and her friends; her sister, Nell; and everyone in between, Maude labors to bring justice to her once-safe town. Upon questioning her final batch of suspects, Maude learns the killer's identity and then uses herself as bait in a dangerous trap to snare the murderous perpetrator. Surprising twists, a bit of romance, and humor laced throughout are sure to keep you turning the pages until you too discover the target of Maude's iron-willed persistence.
