The All-Pro is a thriller / science fiction novel by American author Scott Sigler that was released in 2011. The third book in the Galactic Football League series, The All-Pro is preceeded by The Rookie and The Starter, and continues with The MVP.
Synopsis
Seven centuries into the future, aliens and humans compete for the greatest prize in the universe: the Galactic Football League Galaxy Bowl trophy.
Quarterback Quentin Barnes enters his third season at the helm of the Ionath Krakens. He's re-shaped the team in his image, and the time for excuses is over -- it's win, or be replaced. Quentin's championship quest carries he and his teammates across the galaxy in a brutal twelve-game season fraught with injury and death.
But he faces more than just on-field challenges. As he enters a free-agent year, several franchises vie for his services. Will he play for a new team, or will he remain with his beloved Krakens.
And then there's the slight distraction that someone, somewhere, is trying to assassinate him - and he doesn't know why.
The GFL series is described as "Star Wars" meets "The Blind Side" meets "The Godfather."
Follow the Krakens as they fight to take the title and achieve immortality.
