The GFL is a "Space Opera" series of books described as STAR WARS meets THE BLINDSIDE meets THE GODFATHER. 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. This multi-part scifi/crime/sports mashup follows a professional American football team across a far-future galaxy. Travel to new worlds, meet new races, and put their quarterback into the dirt. Each novel and novella in the series is or will have its own season, so be sure to start from the beginning. Season 1: THE ROOKIE (GFL Book I) | 27 episodes Follow the story of Quentin Barnes, a 19-year-old quarterback prodigy who has been raised all his life to hate and kill those aliens.

Cillian’s old comrade in arms, Fanaka, has come on board the Olorun. She was on the ship decades ago, but a lot has changed since then — both with the Olorun and with Cillian. The datacube Fanaka tricked Cillian into transporting across the galaxy doesn’t belong to Fanaka. It belongs to the Pontski Sisters. And they…are not…happy. Written by Scott Sigler and J.C.

Cillian sat down with Fanaka Tolvaj, a.k.a. “the bitch who knows everything.” Cillian thought he’d pushed his past down, hidden it away, but Fanaka won’t let him ignore his failures or his cowardly betrayal of a solemn oath.
