New Blog: World Soccer Digest for Soccer Fans!

I've read two of this guys books and this new one that's out sounds like it would be pretty cool.
I give high marks to "Infected" and "Contagious". They are both very unique and fairly disturbing. Awesome!
The following synopsis can be found on the website, but I've included it here.
" 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 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."

Reminds me of mutant league football the videogame.

Perhaps the only football game better than madden…

Same premise, future football, run by crimelords, alien football players playing the positions etc.
Kill the Ref
You could eat other players too.

seriously? that would’ve been a good game to play after your real team loses. kinda take the edge off by eating or maiming the other players/aliens.
