Scott Sigler's Galactic Football League (GFL) Series

The GFL is a "Space Opera" series of books described as STAR WARS meets THE BLINDSIDE meets THE GODFATHER.  Set in a lethal pro football league 700 years in the future, THE ROOKIE is a story that combines the intense gridiron action of "Any Given Sunday" with the space opera style of "Star Wars" and the criminal underworld of "The Godfather." Aliens and humans alike play positions based on physiology, creating receivers that jump 25 feet into the air, linemen that bench-press 1,200 pounds, and linebackers that literally want to eat you. Organized crime runs every franchise, games are fixed, and rival players are assassinated.  This multi-part scifi/crime/sports mashup follows a professional American football team across a far-future galaxy. Travel to new worlds, meet new races, and put their quarterback into the dirt. Each novel and novella in the series is or will have its own season, so be sure to start from the beginning. Season 1: THE ROOKIE (GFL Book I) | 27 episodes  Follow the story of Quentin Barnes, a 19-year-old quarterback prodigy who has been raised all his life to hate and kill those aliens. Quentin must deal with his racism and learn to lead, or he'll wind up just another stat in the column marked "killed on the field."

To find this culprit, Frose embedded his assistant, Whykor the Aware, and reporter Yolanda Davenport aboard the Touchback, under the guise of doing a feature story on Quentin.

Earlier in the year, the Krakens cut two players ? the Ki lineman Gan-Ta-Kapil, and the Sklorno receiver Richfield. Richfield said she was heading out to see the universe and spread the word of her ?godling,? Quentin Barnes. In Episode #22, Becca Montagne and Danny Lundy executed a power play that would make that week?s tilt against the Yall Criminals her last as a fullback, meaning Kopor the Climber will have to get up to speed to become the team?s starter at that position. The Krakens beat the Criminals to move to 4-0 on the season. Following the game, Quentin headed for the Ki Baths to clean up for the post-game press conference.

THE CHAMPION (GFL Book V) | Ep. 9

Quentin and his friends have met the mostly unknown Portath. In that meeting, he came to learn that the kidnapping of his sister wasn?t set up by a rival team or a revenge-minded gangster, but none other than the living god herself, Petra Prawatt, so she could deliver a message to the Prawatt about a pending galactic-scale invasion from a race known as the Abernessia. Petra?s tool for this manipulation? Cormerant Bumberpuff, Quentin?s Ionath Krakens teammate. Quentin needs to find out Bumberpuff?s involvement, and find a way to free his sister, his friends, and himself from the Portath.
