As her submerged abilities begin to reawaken and as she seeks to regain her memories, Chiropteran warriors are guided by a mysterious leader to threaten Saya and her loved ones.

BRUCE LEE A LIFE HC

(W) Matthew Polly

Forty-five years after Bruce Lee's sudden death at age thirty-two, jour NAlist and bestselling author Matthew Polly has written the definitive account of Lee's life. Following a decade of research that included conducting more than one hundred interviews with Lee's family, friends, business associates, and even the actress in whose bed Lee died, Polly has constructed a complex, humane portrait of the icon. Polly breaks down the myths surrounding Bruce Lee and argues that, contrary to popular belief, he was an ambitious actor who was obsessed with the martial arts-not a kung-fu guru who just so happened to make a couple of movies. This is an honest, revealing look at an impressive yet imperfect man whose perso NAl story was even more entertaining and inspiring than any fictio NAl role he played onscreen.
