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."

Being British I had no idea about American Football. I listened because it was, originally free as a podcast.
I'd had a serious operation on my chest and medication after made it really difficult to do the one thing I loved, read.
The GFL series was a god send and the way they are recorded and read is amazing. I found myself really engrossed in every aspect of the game and all the characters.
A big thanks to Scott Sigler. Your stories and reading of those stories is awesome.
I've listened to all of your other stories too. Again, thank you for these amazingly read audio books!
Awesome, awesome, awesome!!

Phenomenal start

I finished about 4 books in the series and am still intending to listen to the rest.
Also the narrator/author thinks he can act... This is not so. There are a lot of cringe moments that i really wished I could skip.
I, like the most of the world, do not know or care about American football but i did get to appreciate it a little at the end.
Just think of England and get through the gibberish related to the game.
On the edge about this but intetesting

I listened to this way back when it was on a weekly podcast. I did all pf his other books first, trying to ignore this one because it was about football. I ended up loving it perhaps best of all (its between this and the infected trilogy).
Though narrating sound effects is not Siglers forte - everything else is SO good. Love it and recommend it
STILL love it
