Fortunately, as I continue to receive treatment and make progress, my memory has started to improve. Telling my story has allowed me to reflect on how far I’ve come since my accident and also the fact that I have been supported by the very best, to whom I can only say a truly heartfelt thank you.

What is it like to go to the very edge of the world and look over? In this personal narrative, former couch potato Michael Bane begins an incredible journey that takes him from the abyss to the highest, storm-swept mountains and, ultimately, changes his life forever. Following The List -- 13 extreme events, chosen arbitrarily and jotted on a cocktail napkin -- Bane went from his living room couch to swimming across San Francisco Bay, scuba diving in caves, climbing frozen waterfalls, kayaking off sheer cliffs, and riding a bicycle across Alaska in the dead of winter. He faces his greatest challenges on the eternally frozen slopes of Mt. McKinley, reeling from altitude sickness and battered by vicious storms. Bane's transformation is chronicled in his critically acclaimed book, praised by the Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and numerous other publications as a master work in sports journalism.

From a beloved master of crime fiction, Free Fall in Crimson is one of many classic novels featuring Travis McGee, the hard-boiled detective who lives on a houseboat. He was rich, mean, and slowly succumbing to cancer—until someone hastened the inevitable by beating him to death at a Florida truck stop. Now Ellis Esterland’s son wants Travis McGee to find out who killed his estranged father. The why seems obvious: Esterland’s multimillion-dollar estate. “The Travis McGee novels are among the finest works of fiction ever penned by an American author.”—Jonathan Kellerman Though he had been reassured that he would receive a substantial inheritance, Ron Esterland was disowned by his wealthy father years ago. But upon dear old Dad’s conveniently timed murder, the family fortune winds up in the hands of Ellis’s ex-wife instead. The quest to recover Ron’s money takes McGee from Hollywood to the Midwest, where he confronts prostitution rings and drug deals gone wrong. In the haze of violence surrounding him, McGee starts to lose sight of who he really is. But one thing remains crystal clear: McGee is on the trail of a killer conjured from his worst nightmares. Features a new Introduction by Lee Child
