The Olympian

Peter L. Dixon

4.9/5 (15105 ratings)

Description:At nineteen he is a fugitive. At twenty-one he stands among the athletes of the world waiting to compete for a gold medal in the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics. His name is Winter Wolf, and he is the son of an Irish-Canadian father and an Indian mother. By heritage, he is Lord of the Sea, and his totem is the Orca, the Killer Whale – most powerful of all sea creatures. From the moment his fishing boat sinks off the California coast, Winter is thrust into the world of athletes and movie stars. William Randolph Hearst and Marion Davies offer him refuge in their grand castle at San Simeon, introducing him to people of power and wealth. Johnny Weissmuller and Buster Crabbe help him to develop the drive necessary for competition. Alex Jaeckel, the son of a top Hollywood producer, offers him friendship and encouragement to follow his dream. And Roxy Selmanoff, a young Russian refugee working as a film editor, offers him love. Together Winter and Roxy seek happiness, but their separate driving ambitions—his to win a gold medal in the Olympics, hers to be Hollywood’s first woman film director—come between their feelings for each other. Just as Winter’s dream seems within his grasp, a secret from his past surfaces and threatens to keep him out of Olympic competition. In The Olympian, Peter L. Dixon skillfully depicts the atmosphere of Los Angeles in the early 1930s, with its glamorous Hollywood stars, its Malibu movie colony, and its Olympic village. He weaves a novel filled with romance and adventure, but more significantly, he creates a truly memorable character. Winter Wolf will remain with the reader long after the last page is turned.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
