Kirkus Reviews In this epic novel about the motor-racing heroes of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, legendary characters battle to win incredible races on switchback roads along the edges of ravines. A sprawling, adrenaline-drenched story that will appeal even to readers who know next to nothing about auto racing. Amid the pungent fumes of gasoline, readers will also feel the sense of dread as the world inched closer to war. In Martini's prose, one can almost hear the tires screeching around the track, from the dry deserts of Libya to the damp mountains of Italy, from the sparkling streets of Monaco all the way to the shores of the United States. Experienced journalist and debut novelist Martini spent a decade researching the real men whose stories form the basis of this work of fiction, and it shows in the both epic and intimate details that make this story spring to life.
