Scott Sigler's Galactic Football League (GFL) Series: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Scott Sigler
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.

Gredok received an ultimatum from — of all sentients — Ma Tweedy, who told the Splithead to steer clear of conflicts with Quentin. As if that weren’t problematic enough, Wakhan Reed is about to deliver a report that will cast a veil of suspicion over one of the Leader’s key underlings. Meanwhile, the woman who saved Quentin’s life gave him a hypodermic gun loaded with a strange substance to use against Gredok. What is in that vial, and how far will Quentin go to protect those he loves against the ruthless gangster’s rage?

FEED DROP | BEASTS BEYOND THE RIVER Audiobook Preview
We wheeled and dealed and got permission to share the first 35 minutes of Beasts Beyond the River, Scott’s intense new horror novel, read by none other than Ray Porter (narrator of PROJECT HAIL MARY, EARTHCORE, MOUNT FITZROY, THE BOBBIVERSE, JOE LEDGER, and more). SYNOPSIS: Amidst the brutality of the French and Indian War, an officer in the legendary Rogers’ Rangers is thrust into a nightmare that will challenge both his leadership and his lifelong quest to leave his father’s heritage behind. Lieutenant Geoffrey Rapelje is tasked with guiding a ranger detachment to his birthplace to preserve a fragile treaty between the British and his father’s people. What Geoffrey finds is not the idyllic village of his youth, but a land—and a tribe—ravaged by a vicious, unknown force. He and his rangers embark on a harrowing journey across a North American wilderness beset by violence, betrayal, and inexplicable terrors. To defeat a genocidal enemy, Geoffrey must embrace a dark truth he has long denied. — Slices is created by Scott Sigler and A B Kovacs — Produced by Steve Riekeberg — Production Assistance by Allie Press — Copyright 2026 by Empty Set Entertainment Even the frontier has a boundary… they just crossed it.
