Cycling Novel Draws Rave Reviews

Salt Lake City, Utah
Dave Shields' newest novel, The Tour, is turning heads. It's the story of a young American cyclist under intense pressures to use performance-enhancing drugs during the Tour de France. Through the book, readers experience first-hand the temptations to dope from an athletes perspective. Reviewers have been blown away by the unexpected twists and turns. In their current issue (July 2006) VeloNews wrote: "There are some strange parallels between The Tour and what is happening in the news at the moment... Shields also successfully walks the line between writing for a race-savvy audience and keeping the story accessible to those who have never seen a bike race& For anyone who is drawn in to this summer's Tour de France, The Tour should provide an equally addicting alternative."
1999 US Pro Cycling Champion Marty Jemison raved, "Dave's new book, The Tour: A Novel, fills out the adventure he began in The Race perfectly. Along the way he educates readers on the issues of performance enhancing drugs. It's a topic deserving of close inspection, and this book is a big step in the right direction. The Tour is a fantastic book."
As a result of the positive press, Shields has had a constant stream of interviews including appearances on CNN, ESPN, Sporting News Radio, and hundreds of regional television and radio stations. He is a sought after guest both for his ability to clarify complex doping issues, and for his passion to teach America about the fascinating nuances of pro cycling.
