In an all-out assault on the sensible, the mercurial Billy Winslow returns for his most daring adventure yet. After losing everything because of a botched kidnapping, Billy is tasked with rebuilding his life in a foreign land. Exiled to Mexico for kidnapping Steve, on a spiritual retreat, he mistakenly ingests a sacred substance and enters a different realm. Stranded at a Mayan temple, through crashes of lightning and roaring thunder comes a mythic debate on the sanctity of souls. From another dimension, glowing images and heavenly voices sound an urgent message of salvation. Visions of Gods and Goddesses fighting a holy battle race vividly through the sky as the tempest rages on. And as the storm recedes, ravaged and barely alive, Billy regains consciousness repeating the cryptic phrase, "To save a son." Eventually making his way home, he finds the storm has yet to subside. Lapsing into an uneasy sleep, dreams of a car crash flash intensely though the night as Billy again wakes with the ominous message, "To save a son." Compelled by the spirits to save someone somewhere, a stiff gust of wind plasters a map of Florida to Billy's face, providing the first of many clues on where to go next. Cleared in the kidnapping, he returns to the scene of the crime only to find that the true destination lies further north. Following a mysterious car ride with a specter and a dream about a one-armed basketball player, Billy Winslow descends on a college town to somehow save a son. In a story of redemption through both spirit and sport, after a series of transformative events, he's thrust into a rather ghostly game.

When coach Nick Saban arrived in Tuscaloosa in 2007, he boldly proclaimed &“We want to be a champion in everything that we do.&” Since that time, Alabama has won three national championships and become the nation's number one destination for recruits and the top source of NFL talent while simultaneously graduating its players. No other program has won more games, captured more awards, or come close to approaching the kind of consistent success as the Crimson Tide. In Nick Saban vs. College Football, author Christopher Walsh not only explains what separates Saban from his peers and compares his accomplishments to some of the all-time legends, but tells why, if there were a Mount Rushmore of college football coaches, Saban's face would already be on it. From his upbringing in West Virginia to his relationship with legendary coach Bill Belichick, &“the process&” has not only led to Saban having a statue along Alabama's &“Walk of Champions&” in front of Bryant-Denny Stadium, but the establishment of a new standard that may be unparalleled in college football history.
