Quentin and his friends have met the mostly unknown Portath. In that meeting, he came to learn that the kidnapping of his sister wasn’t set up by a rival team or a revenge-minded gangster, but none other than the living god herself, Petra Prawatt, so she could deliver a message to the Prawatt about a pending galactic-scale invasion from a race known as the Abernessia.
Petra’s tool for this manipulation? Cormerant Bumberpuff, Quentin’s Ionath Krakens teammate. Quentin needs to find out Bumberpuff’s involvement, and find a way to free his sister, his friends, and himself from the Portath.

THE CHAMPION (GFL Book V) | Ep. 8
Quentin and his friends have made first contact with Hulsey, a Human representative of the as-yet-unseen Portath. Hulsey gave the grim news that while she could help Quentin find his lost sister, Jeanine, and his friend Fred, that wouldn’t do Quentin much good, because he and his friends would never be allowed to leave the Portath Cloud. Instead of rescuing his sister, is Quentin doomed to remain just as lost as she was?

Quentin and his friends are aboard the Rosalind Franklin, a living Prawatt ship.

THE CHAMPION (GFL Book V) | Ep. 6
Quentin and his friends are aboard the Rosalind Franklin, a living Prawatt ship. Rosalind was swallowed up by a massive Rewall ship, which she nicknamed “Joey,” in hopes of having the Rewall take her into the Portath Cloud, where Quentin & Co. could continue the search for his sister. The thing was, as the Rewall tentacles closed in and engulfed her, she couldn’t say for sure if Joey was going to transport them … or digest them, killing everyone in a tidal wave of acid.

About 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.
