One novelist who doesn’t suck at podcasting is Scott Sigler. Author of the highly enjoyable and entertaining Earthcore, Ancestor and Infection podcast novels has released yet another installment of sci-fi gore in The Rookie.

“Imagine a story that combines the intense football action of “Any Given Sunday” with the space opera style of “Star Wars” and the criminal underworld of “The Godfather.”

“The Rookie” is set amongst a lethal pro football league 700 years in the future. Aliens 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 assasinated.”

We’re already on episode six and yet again I’m hooked like a junkie. It definitely makes the daily commute so much more enjoyable. Best you start downloading The Rookie episode 1 and get hooked…
