About this listen
Seven centuries in the future, the sport of American football has never been bigger, never been faster, never been more lethal. Trillions of fans from all over the galaxy watch six unique races battle in contests so violent that deaths are part of the stat sheet. Star quarterback Quentin Barnes has led his beloved Ionath Krakens to glory on the gridiron and become the most-recognized individual in history, but it is off the field where his world crumbles around him. Over four seasons with Ionath, he's picked up powerful enemies, one of which drove his sister into the Portath Cloud, a place from which no ship returns. Because his enemies include his team owner - a possessive crime lord who treats players like property - and the ruling government that controls the shipping lanes, Quentin and his friends must hide from the media spotlight as they search for a way to rescue his sister.
Set against the backdrop of a professional American football franchise seven centuries in the future, the Galactic Football League puts huge humans on the field with five alien races to create a game that is faster, stronger, and deadlier than anything we know today. Quarterback Quentin Barnes has grown from a racist, small-town standout into a proven leader, a uniter of peoples, and the Galaxy's most-famous athlete. Willing to do anything for his team, his Ionath Krakens have bound together through shared sacrifice, tragedy, devastating losses and thrilling victories.The GFL series melds star-spanning scifi, brutal crime fiction, and intense sports action into a smash-mouth extravaganza unlike anything you've read before.

For a British person not knowing anything about American football, I didn't expect to like this. How I was wrong.
What does the series offer?
Football, adventure, comedy, gangsters, love, death, aliens, war and intergalactic space travel.
Not only is scott Sigler a great science fiction writer but his narrating skills are awesome.
These books are well worth a buy which much more listening time than your average novel.
Can't wait for book 6.

Would you listen to The Champion again? Why?
Yeah when all 7 of the books are in I plan to relisten to it all back to backWhat was one of the most memorable moments of The Champion?
Too many spoilers to be fair so I can't give anything away but there was a moment with uncle johnny and the gouger where I realised that the series was not being planned book to book but from start to finish of the series.Which character – as performed by Scott Sigler – was your favourite?
uncle Johnny ain't he everyones.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I couldn't half way I was so angry with QBs treatment of uncle johnny I stopped reading for two weeks until I got my temper back.Any additional comments?
Its darker and the feeling of slowly growing dread is palpable, slowly you fear more for the characters you care for which is a rare thing. But if you have not go from the start and listen to the rookie first.Scott Sigler ups the GFL ante again.
