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 19-year-old quarterback prodigy who 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".

Performed by: Andy Brownstein, Bradley Smith, Chris Davenport, Colleen Delany, David Jourdan, Duane Beeman, Eric Messner, Eric Singdahlsen, James Konicek, Jefferson A. Russell, Jonathan Church, Jonathan Watkins, Ken Jackson, Kenyatta Rogers, Kimberly Gilbert, Matthew Bassett, Michael Glenn, Michael John Casey, Nick DePinto, Richard Rohan, Scott McCormick, Terence Aselford, Thomas Keegan, Tia Shearer, Jonathon Church, and Johnathan Feuer

Good story, poor pronunciation.

Excellent book, on Audible read by author so you can hear the proper way to pronounce the names and places. Just wish the voice actors or someone thought of that.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
