About this listen
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."

Story
Few know the warship’s actual name. But everyone has heard the rumors. The PUV James Keeling can do something no other vessel in existence can do—slip into another dimension, travel undetected, then re-emerge onto our plane and surprise enemy targets. But the thing that makes the Crypt unique also makes it a nightmare for those onboard; interdimensional travel causes hallucinations, violent behavior, and psychotic breakdowns. Keeling could be the Union’s greatest weapon, a game-changing asset that can defeat the bloodthirsty zealots of the Purist Nation, the Union’s mortal enemy.

In the frozen ground of the Hürtgen Forest, Lieutenant Eric Granville digs a grave. A grave for yet another of his men lost to the brutality of World War II. He prays he will have to dig no more, for everyone knows the war is drawing to a close. But as German lines bend, then break, the Allies gain access to vast tracts of territory, including areas believed to contain advanced military research projects where the Nazis desperately work on war-ending super weapons.

Story
A teenage girl awakens to find herself trapped in a coffin. She has no idea who she is, where she is, or how she got there. Fighting her way free brings little relief - she discovers only a room lined with caskets and a handful of equally mystified survivors. Beyond their room lies a corridor filled with bones and dust but no people and no answers. She knows only one thing about herself - her name, M. Savage, which was engraved on the foot of her coffin. She finds herself in charge. She is not the biggest among them or the boldest, but for some reason the others trust her.

A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

To save humanity, they must fight.

For millennia, a secret society known as the Bastion has protected mankind from the horrors of the Underskin—malevolent forces lurking unseen in civilization's shadows. Monsters, demons, spirits, lawyers, and Fortune-500 CEOs, the Underskin's fiends pray upon the weak. When these creatures spill blood, it falls upon the rixators—the Bastion's elite warriors—to cut them down. Armed with ancient relics and modern weaponry, altruistic rixators hold the line against chaos. But a rixator's sworn oath of poverty grinds against Lincoln's life.

Football...in space!
Scott Sigler has written an amazing genre mash-up. Football in space. The narration is incredible. The Rookie is the first on the fantastic GFL series.

Awesome!
I love the story and the performance. I'm not much of a sci-fi guy but this is awesome. I'm definitely reading the entire series.
....back to add to this. I just finished the All Pro, third book in the series, and I love the entire story. The performance is amazing but the book is even better. I haven't finished the series but I'm sure I'm going to be disappointed that there aren't 1000 books in the series. This would make a great HBO long running series. I say that because a movie would miss the details. I find myself connecting with the characters and identifying with the circumstances. This book is good for everyone, but if you're background is that you are from nothing and that you have fought tooth and nail to get where you are, then you will love Quinton Barnes.
I doubt he reads this, but Scott you have done an amazing job. I really appreciate your effort and what is my favorite book series of all time. Thank you.

Great Production
Good story with in depth football knowledge. The production on this went far beyond the standard reading you typically get with an audio book which can be distracting but I thought made this book a great listening experience. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

really enjoyable
I always forget how much I despise the main character at the beginning of this series, but what really makes this series so enjoyable, is watching Quentin grow and change! There's actual character growth and development that's what I really love about Scott Sigler books and this Series in particular.

A Fun Sports Story for Sci-Fi Fans
The GFL (Galactic Football League) books are a lot of fun. The Rookie is your standard football drama but set in a world that makes it accessible to people without a lot of football knowledge. Sigler does a great job narrating the book himself. The only issue with the audiobook is a few missteps with production.

This is the first book of a series and it’s great.
This is the first book of the Galactic Football League which set 700 years in the future.
There are various alien specie playing the positions on each team.
The main character is from a backwater planet and doesn’t like the other races. He has to learn to interact with each specie on their terms not his.
