Seven centuries in the future, the sport of American football has never been bigger, never been faster, never been more lethal. Trillions of fans from all over the galaxy watch six unique races battle in contests so violent that deaths are part of the stat sheet. Star quarterback Quentin Barnes has led his beloved Ionath Krakens to glory on the gridiron and become the most-recognized individual in history, but it is off the field where his world crumbles around him. Over four seasons with Ionath, he's picked up powerful enemies: one of which drove his sister into the Portath Cloud, a place from which no ship returns. Because his enemies include his team owner a possessive crime lord who treats players like property and the ruling government that controls the shipping lanes, Quentin and his friends must hide from the media spotlight as they search for a way to rescue his sister. The GFL series melds star-spanning scifi, brutal crime fiction and intense sports action into a smash-mouth extravaganza unlike anything you've read before.… (más)

Sigler knocks it out of the park again. I don't even watch real football anymore but I always look forward to the GFL season!

The sci-fi is great, the characters are funny and awesome, and the story keeps getting better. He's building up to something big so don't miss this latest installment of the GFL series.

If you haven't read the series yet, go get the Rookie and get started! ( )

After finishing this, I need to look up whether or not Sigler plans to continue this series. My favorite aspect was the frayed relationship issues between Quentin and Becka. But too many other things were glossed over (Quentin's sister Jeanine), or left unresolved (the impending possible doom of the galaxy). I assume this unresolved stuff will be covered in a future book, but this one ended on a very uncertain note, with no hints about how it will be addressed.

I'll read the next one, if there's a next one. I love the aliens, and I love the characters. But I have to admit that as a person who's not enamored of pro sports, the football is starting to get a little repetitive. I want more more story resolution and less radio commentary.

Shocking new story developments by the end! ( )
