The 80-Yard Club: The Full Distance

Book 3 of 3

The championship was just the beginning.
Zack Bach came back from Zurich with a rebuilt knee, a street cat named Bruno, and a kick that defied physics. He survived the surgeries, the doubt, and the silence. He proved the impossible — eighty-two yards in Denver, watched by forty million people, including a twelve-year-old in a living room somewhere who is still watching the replay.
Now the rule is under attack.
Gerald Hutchins — lawyer, lobbyist, and the most dangerous kind of true believer — has built a counteroffensive: the Counterstrike Initiative, a league-funded program training elite defenders to leap the line and swat down the long kick before it arrives. The leapers are getting better. The owners are getting nervous. And the eighty-yard rule that changed professional football may not survive the season.
Zack's answer is a hybrid technique — a kick that climbs high enough to beat the leapers and fast enough to survive the wind. But a kick no one in history has ever made isn't a solution until it works in a game. And a game is not a practice field.
Meanwhile, the woman who built the franchise that gave him a second chance is fighting her own battle. Alex Kellerman, president of the Las Vegas Outlaws, is being blackmailed — a secret that could undo everything her family built and everything she and Zack have been slowly, painfully trying to rebuild. Some distances can only be crossed the hard way.
The Full Distance is the conclusion to the 80-Yard Club trilogy — a story about what we become when we stop running from the hardest version of ourselves, and what we build when we finally decide to stay.
