Scott Sigler's Galactic Football League (GFL) Series

The GFL is a "Space Opera" series of books described as STAR WARS meets THE BLINDSIDE meets THE GODFATHER.  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.  This multi-part scifi/crime/sports mashup follows a professional American football team across a far-future galaxy. Travel to new worlds, meet new races, and put their quarterback into the dirt. Each novel and novella in the series is or will have its own season, so be sure to start from the beginning. Season 1: THE ROOKIE (GFL Book I) | 27 episodes  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." Season 2: TITLE FIGHT (GFL Novella I) | 10 episodes Season 3: THE STARTER (GFL Book II) | 36 episodes Season 4: THE ALL-PRO (GFL Book III) | 36 episodes Season 5: THE RIDER (GFL Novella II) | 16 episodes Next Season: THE DETECTIVE (GFL Novella III) Written and Performed by Scott Sigler Produced by AB Kovacs and Arioch Morningstar Engineered by Steve Riekeberg Production Assistance by Allie Press Copyright 2024 by Empty Set Entertainment  Consultation by Evo Terra For more from Scott Sigler, please visit https://scottsigler.com

  • From the writer of the #1 Podcast OUTLIERS and the new psychological thriller Podcast, GREETINGS FROM SALTON SEA. In 1961, at the height of the Cold War, an enigmatic CIA operative investigates the source of a mysterious shortwave signal—generated either by Russian double agents/spies and their handlers or originating from extraterrestrial aliens/UFOs, or both—and systematically tracks the source in order to disrupt the possible activation of a thermonuclear “dead man’s switch.” At the same time, a plucky young woman fights to rescue her younger brother—who has the ability to see alien “insect people”—from the clutches of ill-intentioned “government doctors,” while a dogged radio host in Dayton, Ohio uses his UFO-focused show to expose ongoing government-sanctioned conspiracies to hide the fact that extraterrestrial aliens not only exist, but are already living amongst us.
