Starr: My Life in Football
Editorial : From Publishers Weekly Starr was an undistinguished quarterback at the University of Alabama and with the Green Bay Packers until Vince Lombardi arrived in Wisconsin. Even then, it seemed as if the new coach accepted Starr only with reluctance, but the gamble paid off and the outstanding play of the young man helped lead the Packers to five championships in seven years plus several other winning seasons. Starr and Olderman (The Pro Quarterback) present a picture of Lombardi at variance with the general image; they show a man driven to push his players to the level of excellence he was sure each of them could achieve, certainly not a tyrant or a monster. The second part of the book, about Starr's disappointing years as the Green Bay coach, is less absorbing and comes as something of an anticlimax, particularly in its detailing of the games he masterminded.

Mordden writes very believable novels that evoke emotion and never betray the reader.. Having horrible​ professors in PA school, this is a blessing. Although I didn't think it was possible for me to like him more than in Bound To Shadows, I fell well and truly hard for him in Moon Sworn.
Now that we have to say good-bye to Riley, I look forward to Keri Arthur's spin-off series featuring Risa, daughter of Dia, another well loved character from the Guardian series.. The pain I felt wasn't imaginary or psychosomatic in the sense that there weren't actually physical symptoms, but the cause of those symptoms (the result of restricted blood flow
