Scott Sigler has just posted a pic to tease us die hard fans. This book comes out end of this month and is only limited to 3500 copies, each personally signed.

You can get your copy here: Scott Sigler’s The Rookie

The Story Synopsis:

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.

Follow the story of Quentin Barnes, a 19-year-old quarterback prodigy that 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.”

I’ve talked about Scott Sigler before, who has now published 2 books, the 2nd one getting onto the NY Times Best Sellers list. All the while still releasing his books for free in an audio format on his website.

Today, he’s released The Rookie for pre-order on his site. This is a hardback limited edition (only 3000 copies) that will be released in Sept. If you like football and scifi and mafia type stories, get it. You will love it.

For those of you that i’ve talked to about it and others that I haven’t. Its been out since April 1st. Only 2 other people I know have bought it. Others said they’d check it out.

Get the damn book already. Its great! Check this out:

I just finished reading it, I know its been out now 6 weeks, but its one the reasons I don’t read anymore. Limited time, usually before I goto sleep. Its why I listen to audio books so much now.

Myself, I picked up two copies. One of them is for myself, signed by the FDO himself and the other was donated to the local library.
