Reviews
"Fleet and fun, The Fireballer will appeal to fans of The Natural and Robert Coover's The Universal Baseball Association . Frank Ryder is a classic American hero--the phenom who has to overcome his own terrible past. Mark Stevens has done the impossible: He actually had me rooting for the Orioles." --Stewart O'Nan, co-author of Faithful and author of Ocean State "Seldom do I read a book that knocks my socks off the way the The Fireballer did. This is a feel-good baseball story with a hold on the vernacular, the heart, the soul, the big picture, and the subtleties of America's favorite summer pastime. The characters are beautifully etched, and pitcher Frank Ryder may be the most likeable hero since Gary Cooper gave life to Lou Gehrig on the big screen. I guarantee that you don't have to be a baseball fan to be swept up by this moving tale. With a full heart, I recommend--no, insist--that you read The Fireballer ." --William Kent Krueger, author of Fox Creek and This Tender Land "Mark Stevens' The Fireballer is a timeless baseball story told with a love of the game and fast-moving prose that will leave your cheering and crying at the same time. Frank Ryder is the most appealing of heroes, taciturn and loyal, talented and haunted--truly haunted--and with a fastball that will change the game. With its authentic baseball scenes and its rich heart, The Fireballer is a novel that rests comfortably with other classics of the game." --William Lashner, author of The Barkeep " The Fireballer is not just a great baseball yarn that any fan of the game will enjoy--it is also a richly-layered exploration of character, regret, and redemption." --Lou Berney, author of November Road and The Long and Faraway Gone "The old game of baseball keeps coming up with new stories about the next twist or turn in the sport. In The Fireballer , Mark Stevens has invented a startling "What if?" that stretches the limits of the game. More than a baseball book, the novel is a journey through the mind and heart of a gifted, but tragic, athlete who finds a road to redemption." -- New York Times bestselling author Stephen Singular, "Fleet and fun, The Fireballer will appeal to fans of The Natural and Robert Coover's The Universal Baseball Association .

Mark Stevens hits it out of the park with this intricate and moving tale of redemption." --Robert Bailey, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Golfer's Carol "Mark Stevens has crafted a powerful, heartfelt story--with a memorable baseball backdrop--that carves out a place alongside classics like The Art of Fielding and The Natural . Stevens knows the game--but it's his deft narrative and characters that help this book truly sing. I couldn't put it down." --Alex Segura, bestselling author of Secret Identity "You don't have to know baseball to love The Fireballer . At the center of this big-hearted book is Frank Ryder, a star pitcher tormented by a mistake in his past. Readers root for Frank not for his fastball, but because his redemption delivers us all." --Stephanie Kane, award-winning mystery writer and author of True Crime Redux

Synopsis
A poignant story about hopes, dreams, and how far one man's talent takes him before he realizes it's about what you do-- and how you do it. Frank Ryder is unstoppable on the baseball field--his pitches arrive faster than a batter can swing, giving his opponents no chance. He's being heralded as a game-changing pitcher. But within the maelstrom of press, adulation, and wild speculation, Frank is a man alone. Haunted by a tragic incident from years past, he yearns to be the best but cannot reconcile the guilt he carries with the man everyone believes him to be. Frank's path to redemption leads him on a journey back to where his life changed forever, to visit his family, his high school coach, and his brother. Through reconnection and reconciliation with those also deeply affected by the devastating event of Frank's youth, he finds peace and his place in the world both in and outside the game. The Fireballer is a lyrical, moving story of undeniable talent and the life-changing power of forgiveness and a subtly romantic ode to America's favorite pastime., A poignant story about hopes, dreams, and how far one man's talent takes him before he realizes it's about what you do-and how you do it.
