Scott Sigler's Galactic Football League (GFL) Series

by Scott Sigler
91

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 episodesSeason 3: THE STARTER (GFL Book II) | 36 episodesSeason 4: THE ALL-PRO (GFL Book III) | 36 episodesSeason 5: THE RIDER (GFL Novella II) | 16 episodesSeason 6: THE DETECTIVE (GFL Novella III) | 10 episodesSeason 7: THE REPORTER (GFL Novella IV) | 12 episodesSeason 8: THE MVP (GFL Book IV) | 38 episodesCurrent Season: THE REEF (GFL Novella V)Written and Performed by Scott SiglerProduced by AB Kovacs and Arioch MorningstarEngineered by Steve RiekebergProduction Assistance by Allie PressCopyright 2024 by Empty Set Entertainment Consultation by Evo TerraFor more from Scott Sigler, please visit https://scottsigler.com

    OP
    Amazing I don’t even like football but this is OP
  • cerescamp
    The MVP
    I loved this book and really like hearing the author read it. But I isn’t like that he didn’t finish the book. It leaves you in a cliffhanger and no other way to finish the audiobook it finishes in episode 35 but I think the book has 38 episodes. Does anyone know where you can listen to the last episodes?
  • kellync
    So much fun and I am not even a football fan!
    My second listen and enjoying as much as the 1st time I heard it.
  • FlyersNfillies
    Awesome and complex
    This is amazing!! It takes time to build an entire world and thats what they’ve done here! So much fun too! Ive just started season 1 and cant wait for the journey I know this show will take me on.
  • YourboyBruno212
    Hooked
    Honestly, takes time to develop to the actually galactic football but nonetheless it’s good! Got me hooked!! Season 2 is off spin but shows why it’s connected to the series on season 3
  • Sexyyeti
    GFL series is Fantastic!
    Amazing world building, deep charters crazy in depth easy to follow plot! All in all worth EVERY MINUTE! Scott Siglers novels/ short stories are ALL worth a read or listen! He has never let me down! And every time I re-read or listen I find a new tidbit of info that just increases my love for his work! Keep up the excellent work Mr. sigler! Always waiting for what you have next!
  • pinkacer
    Rider best new addition
    Thank you! Your work gets me through my work!
  • bwdesmo
    Just spectacular
    The “football” is written well, and compelling. The world building is immersive and truly engaging. I can’t recommend this strongly enough
  • Rory OG
    Fantasy Footballs Finest
    This story takes fantasy football to a whole other level. Whole it has nothing to do with NFL fantasy Football, Scott’s imagination drops you into a fantasy world of football far into the future! I love the story and listened to the (20+ episode) first season in 3 days.
  • Orgoprof
    Could Scott Sigler surpass Ray Porter as my favorite narrator?
    I have read almost everything Scott Sigler has written but I never tried the Galactic Football Leauge. Boy was I stupid! This is fantastic stuff. The story is fantastic so much more than just football. Highly creative take and what the NFL would be like a couple hundred years in the future. But the thing that sets this apart is the production! All species have unique accents and Scott is absolutely outstanding in his narration! Just give this a try and you will not be able to put it down!
  • DirtyAmishMan
    Wow!
    I’ll be the first to admit I’m NOT a football (sports) fan. Holy wow im definitely happy I gave this a try. Mix GodFather, street fighter/mortal combat with Football and bam. Here we are. The story is amazing, characters well rounded and the football was Even fun! Go KRAKENS!!
  • the real DJT
    👍
    Good
  • AvIaVi
    A truly and uniquely great series and first book
    Sigler is writing what he knows - football. And using it as context for a bigger journey of growth, bigotry, and a man finding himself in a world much larger than he ever could have thought There’s a ton of world building, but Sigler is able to work the exposition in through fun and engaging ways Production is also stellar. Game sounds and excellent acting choices by the author who also reads it meant for a very immersive listening experience
  • Jimmy's Jubilent Junipers
    Fantastic read
    Scott really captured my imagination with this series. I’m not a football fan which is good because this story is about way more than football. If you like sci-fi, aliens, gangsters and galaxy wide conspiracies, this series is for you.
  • Funtime Foxy8475
    Thank you
    Thank you Scott Sigler for creating this amazing book series.
  • Touchfx

  • Larry456camp
    Another great book

  • Mgordon151
    It All Starts Here!
    One of my all time favorite works of art! Scott will hook you with this one!
  • ultimó
    Self-glorifying egotist
    These books are set in an interesting alien world, but when listening to the podcasts you are going to be bombarded by the more egotistical person in the world as he pours praise on himself. In his books, he makes a habit of preaching his philosophy and usings degrading language against anyone who would have a different point of view. He comes off as a really hateful guy.
  • Kljklmhvbg
    Awesome.
    This is the best. Highly recommend.
