The Road To Glory

By Lawrence Brooks

"I'm still trying to sort out my emotions after finishing this book. The ending was totally not what I expected. At first I was angry, but as I sat and thought about the book as a whole, I realized that it was an incredibly clever read.

The ending had a significant impact on me, stressing me out. I experienced a wave of different emotions, each having a profound influence on my sleep. The next morning I was still going back and forth as to whether or not I actually liked the book. In fact, I went back and forth on my opinion for hours.

In the end I thought Brooks did a wonderful job. Not many novels allow you to feel so many different emotions. I went from annoyance, to shock, to anger, and finally clarity about the situation. How many authors are able to bring out so many emotions from their readers?"-Goodreads Reviewer

A one-of-kind thriller that takes place during the biggest annual cycling race-The Tour de France

The Road to Glory

By Gregory Boileau
(Originally published under the pen name Lawrence Brooks)

A prodigy in yellow. A legend chasing history. One Tour de France where loyalty, pressure, and truth all crack under the weight of glory.

Nick Carney never meant to lead the world's greatest race. The 23-year-old phenom joined the team to support Jack Bomber-his mentor, his hero, and the man the entire cycling world expects to win his third Tour de France.

But when Nick finds himself unexpectedly in the yellow jersey, the pressure begins to pull at the quiet darkness he carries, the one no one sees but everyone feels.

As Nick's star explodes, a relentless reporter begins weaving a public rivalry between him and Bomber-twisting every glance, every hesitation, every whispered doubt. Inside the team bus, tension turns sharp. On the road, tactics blur. And in the mountains, nothing is certain anymore.

Is Nick riding for Bomber?
Is Bomber riding for Nick?
Or have they both become trapped in a story neither of them meant to write?

What follows is a razor-tight psychological thriller told on two wheels, loyalties tested, corruption amongst riders and a Tour de France that builds toward one breathtaking question-

Who will wear yellow in Paris... and at what cost?

A gripping blend of elite sport, hidden struggle, and escalating suspense, The Road to Glory delivers a Tour de France like you've never seen it-intimate, emotional, and impossible to predict until the very last page.
