TITLE FIGHT, ROUND #1

Click here to download TITLE FIGHT: ROUND #1

Here is a brand-new short fiction novella, recorded live at Mysterious Galaxy bookstore in San Diego and Book Soup in Los Angeles. This is a sports/scifi story co-written with Matt Wallace (the most dangerous man in podcast fiction). We think we're the first to combine far-future aliens and hardcore MMA action. And if we're not the first, best to just say we are, or I'll sic Wallace on your punk ass. I do Round One, then Matt will provide Round Two with his character, and we'll trade off until the blood-splattering main event in the octagon of the far future. Enjoy!

I've been looking forward to this since hearing it at the LA book signing! It blew us all away! And to get it on Rookie Preorder day! My head's gonna explode!

 

The pus is always greener...


Someone clean up that mess ...

I'd like to congratulate Mark on becoming a character in a Sigler story. You have been immortalized. Way to go.

Zuffa trademark of Octagon term

Great stuff Scott! I've been waiting a while for someone to write a sci-fi mma story--looking forward to the rest of it! Zuffa, who owns the UFC, trademarks the term, "Octagon". So you should replace it with the generic term "cage"--this is what other orgs use. I think they have a few other terms trademarked, view the end of a UFC show to see what other terms they hold.

Don't worry about the trademark

It's a non-issue, but thanks for pointing it out. I can write about a character going to Disneyland and riding the rides, I can write a story about a character visiting the Playboy Mansion or driving a Ford, etc.

Besides, this story isn't based on the UFC octagon, it's based on an earlier use of the shape as a fighting arnea -- the original "Octagon" was a 1980 movie starring none other than Mister Awesome himself, Chuck Norris.


Thank you, sir

I really like this. it also helped me understand the physiology a but better then in rookie. 

You kill me? No, no ... I kill you  


Physiology is a weak spot for me

I'm working on upping that skillset. Descriptions of aliens/monsters is really important for my style of writing. Sometimes I nail it (the Hatchlings from INFECTED) and sometimes people email me to say "I'm not really sure what X looked like."

haha and...

 what the hell do Leekee and Whitokians look like. every time I hear their names i cant help but wonder.

 

ohh and why are there no other races going into the crypt? just thought id ask while i have your attention :) 

You kill me?

no, no

I kill you  


CRYPT races

scottsigler's picture
The difference is that THE CRYPT takes place about 300 years before THE ROOKIE. At that point (which is, I think 400-450 years from today), all the races basically slaughter each other. "Peace" only came when the Creterakians conquered most of the known galaxy and established their laws. So you'll see other races in THE CRYPT, or should I say, you'll see their steaming corpses ...

Kill (the) Feed!
