The Rookie

Sigler is a friend of mine. We’ve known each other online since I started ten years ago and I’ve met him in person a couple of times. He’s a good guy but that’s not why I’m reviewing The Rookie.

Every so often a book comes along that just reaches out and grabs your interest. A lot of my fans already know about Sigler, Quentin Barnes, and the Galactic Football League. If you’ve not met them yet, now’s your chance. The Rookie begins the saga of rookie quarterback Quentin Barnes (yes, QB the QB). Even if you don’t like sports or football – or maybe especially if you don’t like sports or football – this isn’t a book about sport or football. Sure there’s football in there, but the story is about Barnes, his growth as a team player and captain of the Ionath Krakens. It’s more about the characters – I can’t really call them people, because a lot of them aren’t human. These characters reached out and grabbed me by the nose and dragged me through the seasons.

I can’t recommend this series highly enough. The Rookie is a 99cent investment, but maybe grab a sample and see what you think. Ready? On three!

PS: If you’d rather stick it in your ear, the book is available in audio for free at Podiobooks.com.
