Galactic Football League Bundle
(2018)(A book in the Galactic Football League series)
An omnibus of novels by Scott Sigler
Linebackers That Literally Want to Eat You
"... a wild ride that takes football to the next level. Set in a future day of corruption, bigger bodies and bigger stakes, it’s Rollerball between the white lines and a fascinating read..."
— John Clayton, ESPN NFL Analyst
Set in a lethal pro football league 700 years in the future, the Galactic Football League 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.
Follow the story of Quentin Barnes, a 19-year-old quarterback prodigy that 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."
Galactic Football League (GFL) Series:
THE ROOKIE • THE STARTER • THE ALL-PRO • THE MVP • THE CHAMPION
In the Galactic Football League, wars are no longer fought in space, but on the gridiron. If you like aliens and football then I suspect you're unlikely to find a better combination than than THE ROOKIE. --Phil Plait, Discover Magazine
...pulls you in, and makes it impossible to think about anything else...
...I loved everything about this book!!!!! The author's other works are great too, but this is my favorite!...
...These books contain an entire world of sci-fi adventure. And when it comes to sci-fi and world-building, few do it better than Scott Sigler...
...If you like your Sci Fi and horror with real and plausible science shoring up the premises of the story, and you like loads of well defined characters with interesting personalities. Then Scott Sigler is probably your kind of author...
...Football was made a galactic sport to help the aliens and humans to learn to play as a team and learn to appreciate each other as teammates and friends. They are to be the examples for all the people in the known universe...
...Very well written football story with a sci-fi bent. Sounds almost too believable. Nicely thought out with meaty characters, great job...
...I love this book full of action, humour and all out full throttle sports adventure...
