Sometimes a true story has elements of the supernatural, and the supernatural is not always bad. Wayne Frye, author of the award winning How Hockey Saved a Jew from the Holocaust and the classic true story of a college hockey team, Thunder on Ice : A Legend in the Mists of Time, has written a rousing account of another hockey team he coached, in of all places; Cape Town, South Africa. So thrilling is this story that one has to ask if it is more fiction than truth. Only the reader can decide, as into this hockey team's life comes visions of the original Thunder-on-Ice team. Are these visions real or imagined? However, it is not just visions of the original version of Thunder-on-Ice that are a part of this story, but there is a ghost seemingly interested in the fate of the team, a ghost from a time when evil was trying to conquer the world. The ghost of a German Jewish hockey player during the holocaust hangs over a team of destiny, a team that will forge a place in South African hockey history. As usual, Wayne Frye, called by one European critic the Rembrandt of Words, will keep you on the edge of your seat with his vivid, rousing use of language to describe a game he calls the breath of life.
