false 5306171 2 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 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 hell wind up just another stat in the column marked "killed on the field." 5373626 2007 The Rookie total:152|5:95|4:43|3:10|2:4|1:0| 152 685 201 18 5306171 148 18 4.51 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1227648973m/5306171.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5306171.The_Rookie 4 0 false Fri Sep 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 11:37:44 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 11:42:35 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5306171 148 18 4.51 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1227648973m/5306171.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5306171.The_Rookie 4 0 false Mon Nov 23 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 27 00:56:33 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 27 01:00:33 -0800 2009
