PUBLISHER COMMENTS:
In his first season with the NHL, Pavel Bure won the Calder Memorial Trophy as top rookie. Eight years after his debut, the "Russian Rocket" had racked up two 60-goal season and two 100-plus point years, despite absences caused by injuries and contract disputes.
Now, an award-winning journalist delves into the mysteries of Bure's life, including what brought him to the West; allegations of involvement with the Russian Mafia; his troubled relationship with his father; the feuds with the media and with the Canucks' management; and his ambivalent attitude towards his intensely adoring fans.
It's the story of a remarkable and riveting career--and man. |
