During that time he married and ran his own pool hall, but having left that all behind he's now badly in need of money, and pool is all he knows. On the beautiful aquamarine waters of the Florida Keys, he ropes his former rival Minnesota Fats into a series of exhibition matches in the hopes of picking up a cable TV deal. But playing the old master, a terrible feeling nags at him that he's sat on his talent and that the best part of him is now gone. And when he vows to get back in the game--seriously, this time--he finds a challenging road ahead, and the only thing standing in his way is himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWALTER TEVIS is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Hustler\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Fell to Earth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMockingbird\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Steps of the Sun\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Queen's Gambit\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Color of Money\u003c\/i\u003e, and the short story collection \u003ci\u003eFar from Home\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Fell to Earth \u003c\/i\u003ewas the basis for a major motion picture starring David Bowie. \u003ci\u003eThe Hustler \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Color of Money \u003c\/i\u003ewere also adapted for film, \u003ci\u003eThe Queen's Gambit \u003c\/i\u003ewas the basis of the Emmy Award-winning Netflix series and \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Fell to Earth \u003c\/i\u003eis the basis of the Showtime series.
