About The Book
Title: Rainbow Curve
Author: Michael Boylan
Genre: Sports
Buy a ticket for a bus ride taking you
from North to Central to South America and a boat ride to the Caribbean
along with a traveling baseball team. Discover baseball in all its
mythical allure: Rainbow Curve is a compelling tale about race,
politics, corrupting power and one man’s courage to stand up against it.
An aging baseball player, his
multi-cultural teammates, a domineering manager, and a South American
drug lord—are all brought together in Rainbow Curve, a gripping novel
that explores the international baseball scene. Moving from training
camps in Sun City, Arizona, to Wrigley Field in Chicago, to a mountain
citadel in Columbia, author Michael Boylan expertly draws connections
between America’s favorite pastime, cultural power, and ethical choice.

Michael Boylan writes like a true
baseball fan. Rainbow Curve is a novel filled with more than 9 innings
of history. From barnstorming and tales about the Negro Leagues to the
Chicago Cubs, Boylan examines the life of players on and off the field.
Bo Mellan, Rainbow Billy Beauchamp and Buddy Beal are just some of the
characters who give this novel a high batting average. Baseball is not
just a game about balls and strikes, it’s also about economics, race,
youth and growing old. Rainbow Curve is a reminder of why we sing “God
Bless America” at the ball park.
