Publisher's Summary

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. Follow the story of Quentin Barnes, a nineteen-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."

I keep coming back.

I've enjoyed many of Mr. Sigler's books over the years, and I keep coming back to the GFL series. I usually get a chance to listen to a book for 20 minutes at a time, for a couple hours a day. This series is always entertaining for that duration and keeps me wanting more every time. If you're looking for an excellent author, you can trust that Scott Sigler will deliver. If you're looking for a very talented audio book narrator with well placed use of audio effects, you can trust that Scott Sigler will deliver.

Loved it!

I absolutely loved this story! I am a big fan of Scott Sigler, I have listened to a lot of his short stories and the other series he has written. I couldn't wait to start the GFL series and I was not disappointed at all! I am into book 2 now and excited to get into the rest of the series!
Awesome job on the story line and on the acting of the books!

best sports-thiiller I've ever heard

Scott Sigler was actually my first podcast of any kind I ever listened to. it was the rookie and by the time I finished his podcast I was hooked and have been listening every week since.

Don’t listen to reviews

Authors shouldn’t do narration. I thought this book would be good. It was the authors interview on Rogan Mr. Sigler sold me on it. I’m not a book spoiler so I will leave you up to your own opinion on this one. I say thumbs down.

Mr. Sigler get someone to narrate this book and I’ll try again.
