Publisher Description: Speed Kills Celerity usually comes in second at UCLA track-the first loser, her coach would say. But she is encouraged by her father, a botanist, her only parent, and her biggest fan. Then he dies unexpectedly. Now she is alone. While wrapping up his affairs, she learns about his expeditions of discovery to the Dari n jungle and a plant that transforms indigenous tribesmen into prolific hunters ... and extraordinarily fast runners. She takes a sabbatical from college and follows his work. After weeks enduring the tropics, she finds the plant-it's fifty feet tall and carnivorous. She returns with its extract. Training at her local high school, her speed is increasing, and people notice. A student times her in the 100 meters-she breaks the women's world record-videos go viral-and life will never be the same. Approached by a flamboyant sports agent, he has a plan; there's no money in track ... try out for the Chicago Bears as a wide receiver. Nobody can touch the world's most famous female athlete. Then the side effects kick in. |
