The Starter is the sequel to THE ROOKIE, a hard hitting, bone crunching YA sports/scifi novel described as ‘The Blindside’ meets ‘Star Wars’ meets ‘The Godfather.’ The Starter is a star spanning coming of age space opera combined with the gritty world of organized crime, all set against a backdrop of a far future professional football league.
If you like aliens and football then I suspect you’re unlikely to find a better combination than than The Rookie. 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.’ In the Galactic Football League, wars are no longer fought in space, but on the gridiron. 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.
Organized crime runs every franchise, games are fixed and rival players are assassinated.
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.
