Undefeated galactic heavyweight champion Korak the Cutter has defeated all challengers, destroying everyone in his path, but the wins aren't as easy as they used to be. After a decade of perfect fighting, his age is catching up with him. For a Quyth Warrior, that means he's slowing down, and speed is the name of the game in mixed martial arts.

Chaiyal "the Heretic" North, former intergalactic heavyweight champ, flees the wrath of crimelord Gredok the Splithead by going to a place Gredok can't reach - the Reef. A frontier planetoid where citizens try to scratch a living from the rock, the Reef is a lawless land ruled by the strong and the vicious.

When he hits rock bottom, he must carve out a new existence free from the weight of his past.

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.

Story
The entire human race balances on the razor's edge of annihilation, beset by an enemy that turns our own bodies against us, that changes normal people into psychopaths or transforms them into nightmares. To some, Doctor Margaret Montoya is a hero-a brilliant scientist who saved the human race from an alien intelligence determined to exterminate all of humanity. To others, she's a monster - a mass murderer single-handedly responsible for the worst atrocity ever to take place on American soil. All Margaret knows is that she's broken. The blood of a million deaths is on her hands.

How else to explain the dreams he keeps having - dreams that mirror, with impossible accuracy, the gruesome serial murders taking place all over San Francisco? How else to explain the feelings these dreams provoke in him - not disgust, not horror, but excitement? As Bryan and his longtime partner, Lawrence 'Pookie' Chang, investigate the murders, they learn that things are even stranger than they at first seem.

Publisher's Summary
The Detective takes place from roughly March 2683 to March 2684. Where applicable, the chapters are named to map to the action in The All-Pro (book III in the Galactic Football League series). The story actually begins, however, on unknown dates during book II, The Starter.
In terms of the GFL timeline, The Detective runs from roughly week seven of the 2683 regular season in The Starter through week 10 of the 2684 regular season in The All-Pro.

A differant way to read
As we wait with baited breath for the relese of GFL book 6 the Gangster I think I have found a new way to enjoy the series.
Qurntin Barns is the main character his upbronging is covered first in this novela. If you want to reread the series, I reccomend the following order. 1. The detective 2. Title fight 3. the Reaf 4. the Ryder 5. The rookie 6. The Starter 7, the all pro 8. The Reporter9. The MVP 10. The Champion. While reading the All Pro I reccomend stopping in the middle and reading the reporter bassed on the chapter designations given in the All Pro.. Everyone is differant just because I don't think most of the novellas give away significant plot points does not mean you will. This review is meant for rereaders only

A wonderful story and exploring the back stories of minor characters in the GFL books. Not as great as Title Fight, but very good. A must read (or listen) for all GFL fans.
No one could ever do the voices of the characters better than Scott!

Good times in the Siglerverse
This ties together both the main GFL series and other adjoining novella. And finally we get under the skin of Fred, his story is one of the darker and I guess there is more to be had here.

Most cringe of the entire series.
The author trying to get a Creole accent down is among the worst thing i have ever heard.
Really hated it.
The book is also not that interesting, The reporter was way batter.
I am a completionist so i could not skip it but it was hard...
Do not bother if you cringe at some of the other "acting" in this series.
