Author Description

Mario Lemieux: Over Time is 208 pages of a most unique career in professional sport. Family, friends, teammates, opponents and sports executives comment on a hockey life that defined drama in the Shakespearean sense, from the abject agonies of injury and serious illness, to soaring demonstrations, time and time again, of a most sublime talent. This is Mario Lemieux, hockey player, sports executive and team owner, and family man... in the words of the people who were there. Marios comeback, the sports story of 2001, is chronicled game-by-game in a special timeline; some 20 sidebars and player profiles bring his unique story to life.
