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."

Unfortunatly when I ordered mine I didn't know

you could get it personalized. Darn I guess I will have to bring it to the next book tour to get that extra special Sigler touch.

You can still contact

Scott via email and give him the email address you used to place the order
and let him know how you would like it personalized.

I might try that, thanks.

SO wait....

Finaldrive's picture

When does it ship? I can get it personalized? How are they numbered? Can I find out what number I got? Crack hits? Who wants crack hits? Me? Yes. hahaha. Crack.

 

Seriously though; it doesn't ship soon enough. Yes you can get it personalized, if by personalized you mean verbally attacked by the FDO, numbered by order number and apparently not, I offred to kill someone to find out and what did hear? Nothing. I offered death, if you have something better let me know!

is there a way to know

steveANARCHY's picture

what # book you got? 

 

"SHIT adds up at the bottom!" ~ JMK


No. Apparently not

Finaldrive's picture

I even offred to kill someone for the FDO.  He would have none of it.  Not even a hint about my number.

maybe

steveANARCHY's picture

the FDO, is going to randomly assign numbers?!  how cool would it be to have the very 1st book? 

 

"SHIT adds up at the bottom!" ~ JMK


You get your number based on when you ordered

Finaldrive's picture

the first person who ordered got number 2.  The second number 3 etc etc.....

Correction

The first book ordered got #3. Scott gets #1 and his dad gets book #2. As it should be. No support from dad, no "Rookie"!

Have you heard the Rookie yet?  Its my personal Fav!   

No power in the Verse can stop me.


no i haven't.

steveANARCHY's picture

i'm debating if i want to wait to read it 1st.  i'm currently listening to nocturnal.  i'm new to the whole podcast thing.  it's not like listening to talk radio at all.  i really have to listen.  yes, when i was in school i was the one who wasn't listening.

 

"SHIT adds up at the bottom!" ~ JMK


Oh, definitely listen to it first!

Twowire's picture
That way when you do read the book you will hear the FDO voicing the characters. This will bring even more 
enjoyment to the reading experience!
 
"What the hell is happening? I blew up the building. Why? Because you made a phone call."

I agree!

Finaldrive's picture

The alien voices will mean so much more when you hear them from the FDO. Its amazing!

Yaaay!

Got my copy ordered

DarkKnightJared's picture
Took some doing mugging old ladiesgetting money to get it, but it is finally done. Or, at least it better, or else Paypal will suffer my wrath. Can't wait--so far, The Rookie is definately my favorite of your stories. :D

Draft

Finaldrive's picture

Random Rookie/GLF question: Is there a GFL draft? How would that work? Or does the tier system basicly do away with that process?

 

I think there is some potential there: "The first selection of in the draft is the Sklorno receiv......oops, sorry folks a Ki linemen just ate the first draft pick. Well, looks like the Glory War Pigs have learned a hard lesson about always picking the Ki first."

 

When do I get my share of the loot?


Have patience young Junkie!

Twowire's picture
We'll find out what number edition we drew some time or another. It may be the day you get the Rookie in your little sweaty Junkie hands.
Though "I feel your pain" Now beam me up Scotty. :D
 
*edit* dont know how this got down here! I replied to your above post!
 
"What the hell is happening? I blew up the building. Why? Because you made a phone call."

I was really confused for a second

Finaldrive's picture

I was like, "Scotty"?  WTF?  Has twowire finally gone off the deep end.

 

   

No power in the Verse can stop me.


Well I am off the deep end

But the post dropping down like that was over the top! I must have flubbed somewhere....
 
"What the hell is happening? I blew up the building. Why? Because you made a phone call."

LOL!

Germans are also ordering ... late

thiede's picture
Hi FDO,

I love your stories, but I have not been able to make a whole lot of fuss about this in Germany because lots of people are only speaking German here. I ordernd today ... lasy me ... I actually do not watch American Football at all and I was too stupid to update my calendar.

Well, enough fuss about me. Is there a schedule for the FDO comming in ... sorry ... to Germany? If yes, please mention this in your shows or the Newsletter, dammit! Maybe I can help? If my FDO so commands, so be it!

Thiede

I second that

While you're planning your trip to Germany, you might as well drop by Denmark on the way...

Keeping a Copy with Me

Finaldrive's picture

I'm going to always carry a copy of this book with me. No matter where I go or what I'm doing. That way when they arrest me the news will say, "His only possessions appear to be a dirty backpack, a spork and a copy of Scott Sigler's The Rookie."

 

I'm assuming they would be mostly concerned about the spork........

 

When do I get my share of the loot?


They'd only care about the

They'd only care about the spork if it was this: http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/kitchen/8ace/

The spork thing kinda made

Glisson's picture

The spork thing kinda made me shiver!  The FDO has got to off somebody with a spork now.  I nominate you as it was your idea after all!

 

 

I'm not real bright, but I'm consistant.


hmm, a spork you say?

Platinum_Spork's picture
maybe it'll be me creeping up behind you with my gilded spork, and slice your head off with it.
maybe.

Spork Killer

Finaldrive's picture

Beware the Spork Serial Killer!  Not quite as scary as an ancestor, but I bet I could take out a sklorno or two!

 

The only downside is that I would have to eat ALOT of KFC to get enough sporks.  I might have a heart attack before I actually get to it.........

 

When do I get my share of the loot?


interesting

spencerfoltinek's picture
with a spork you stab them then if your feeling up to it have a light snack

Go Krakens!!

claputka's picture
Very psyched!! I can't wait to get my copy! I've never much interest in football and I FRICKIN LOVE THIS STORY!!! Sequel, Sequel, Sequel!! Crown Publishing are you listening?!!! Kudos to Scott for creating such a rich universe and publishing it directly for the fans. Scott turns New Media on its ear again. That's leadership! That's innovation! That's our very own FDO! May he rule long and severely!

Krakens Rock!

Glisson's picture
   So I'm out of town playing in a pool tournament when The Rookie sales go live.  Wouldn't you know it we're winning and I can't get away to order my copy.  Made a quick call to a friend, whom I infected by the way, and got my hookup by proxy!  Works out 'cause we won the tournament and I just ordered a 2nd copy just because this shit is that bad ass!  I, like many, have been waiting for a Krakens print version a long time and can now die a happy junkie!

I'm not real bright, but I'm consistent.

My favorite

This is my favorite scott sigler book. Can't wait to actually read it and am dieing for the sequel!

I got mine...

Brad P. from NJ's picture

So, I'm at Rutgers Day, and it's 15:30 PM (EST). I've got no WiFi... what the heck am I gonna do. Fortunately for me, my kids *actually* got bored... I didn't *tell* them they were bored... and we headed off to the nearest Starbucks. A frantic drive through New Brunswick, NJ in an effort to get a fairly low numbered copy. We got to the store at 16.02. My awesome daughter tells me, "Dad, order the book, give me your coffee cup, I'll get it." By 16.16, I had gotten in, gotten to the site - I just wanted to yell at all the other people using the signal at the store to just stop it for 5 frakkin' minutes, I'm doing important stuff - got my discount code, and ordered my copy

Now, I'm realising that I fell down on the job and didn't drop Sigler cards on all the laptops there in the shop with me... feeling like a dolt. I have mine, though... Now, it's time for some word 'o mouth marketing :)
