Sinopsis

Speed KillsCelerity usually comes in second at UCLA track-the first loser, her coach would say. But she is encouraged by her father, a botanist, her only parent, and her biggest fan. Then he dies unexpectedly. Now she is alone.áWhile wrapping up his affairs, she learns about his expeditions of discovery to the Darién jungle and a plant that transforms indigenous tribesmen into prolific hunters ... and extraordinarily fast runners.áShe takes a sabbatical from college and follows his work. After weeks enduring the tropics, she finds the plant-itâÇÖs fifty feet tall and carnivorous. She returns with its extract.áTraining at her local high school, her speed is increasing, and people notice. A student times her in the 100 meters-she breaks the womenâÇÖs world record-videos go viral-and life will never be the same.ááApproached by a flamboyant sports agent, he has a plan, thereâÇÖs no money in track ... try out for the Chicago Bears as a wide receiver. Nobody can touch the worldâÇÖs most famous female athlete.áThen the side effects kick in.
