Over Time [Paperback]

Brian Hill (Author), Dee Power (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 15, 2005

Time is running out for Dan to save the business that took his family sixty years to build. Kelly’s lifework crumbles around her. Mike thinks he’ll always be the guy watching the world from the sidelines. Mark dies just when his dream of playing football for the Green Bay Packers seemed within reach.

Then a letter lost for twenty years arrives and sends the game of life into overtime. It all comes down to a desperate financial gamble, a football game for the ages, and the emotional reunion of four friends who could not be separated by time, distance or even death. All this “team” needed was a little more time than reality normally grants us.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Over Time" has the one great quality of all good thrillers, once you start reading it you don't to stop -- Vince Prygoski – Librarian, University of Michigan, Flint

Over Time had me captivated from the first chapter on. It holds the readers attention and won't let go. -- Margaret Chapman, Blether.com

Over Time is as pleasurable as watching your favorite team play -- A Romance Review

Packers fans and Green Bay natives are going to love Over Time -- Green Bay Press Gazette

You’ll be turning the pages quickly to find out what happens and will become totally enmeshed with the this story. -- Sandra Tibbetts, Roundtable Reviews

From the Publisher

In a perfect world, novels would cater to both football-loving men and women who love to read romantic thrillers. Over Time does both.

Golfers have Bagger Vance, baseball fans have Field of Dreams. Now football fans have a book they can call their own: Over Time.

But there’s more to Over Time than football, even great football.

If you always thought your college years were your best years, you’ll enjoy Over Time. If you like romantic mysteries that reach slightly beyond reality you should read Over Time. And of course Over Time makes a great gift for any NFL tm fan.

"Over Time"- by Brian Hill and Dee Power

Take a field trip into the world of high finance and football. While these two subjects seem to be a strange mix: the people who are movers and shakers in both games are frequently the same.
The story is as diverse as Green Bay, Wisconsin and Scottsdale, Arizona. Characters created by Brian Hill and Dee Power take us on a journey from a fateful night in 1967 through a period of twenty years, and leaves us applauding for the small group of friends who play the toughest game of their lives.
Dan took over the family business, and created a successful corporation of faithful and appreciative employees. Mike is an attorney who works for his friend Dan, and wants a woman he thinks he can never have. Kellys' business has survived on the kindness of many, but even the generosity of newfound friends cannot hold it together. Their friend Mark had dreamed of playing for the Green Bay Packers, but his untimely death ended that dream.
The arrival of a letter, lost for twenty years, reunites the friends with answers to questions about what had really happened the night Mark died. When Dan's company is raided and he is forced to search for ways to get it back, the friends team up in the struggle. The battle for the corporation in Arizona plays out on a snowy football field in Wisconsin. At the end of the game, you'll be glad you stayed to see whether, or not, it went into overtime!
Well-written and timely, I recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Business Thriller with a Football Edge, July 7, 2009

This review is from: Over Time (Paperback)

This book is a business thriller. But, a major subplot involves the Green Bay Packers and all of the history that goes along with the Pack. If you are a football fan - especially if you're a hard core Green Bay fan - this book's for you.

The pacing is excellent, the characters are well developed, and the plot is interesting.

I thought this was a really fun read. It would be a good "summer beach novel" and an even better fall "football season" novel!

This review is from: Over Time (Paperback)

I enjoyed this book. It reminded me of John Grisham's "Bleachers", but was a little more enjoyable because our family is enchanted with the Green Bay Packers. I would recommend it to anyone who is either fond of the Packers or John Grisham's non-mystery type books.
