from HarperCOllins:

#4 on the New York Times Bestseller list

Ghost-written by Lee Gruenfeld for John Brenkus

Barnes & Noble: #1 top seller

Amazon.com: #3 top seller

Wall Street Journal: #7

Publisher's Weekly: #5

If you're interested in understanding the American character, there are plenty of texts to consult— including, of course, the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence and Alexis de Tocqueville's meditations on this country. Here's another work to add to the mix: John Brenkus's "The Perfection Point," about the absolute limits of human athletic performance.
                                                           —Wall Street Journal

“Beyond fascinating. An imagined scenario...accompanies each chapter. They aren't just hypothetical vignettes but truly moving accounts that move beyond sports journalism and approach literature."
                                                  —BBC

“Sure to spark debate in sporting and scientific circles, the book is engagingly written, well argued, and —even when the conclusions seem almost science-fictiony— entirely plausible.”
                                                  —Booklist (*starred review)
