Dreadball - by Robert E Waters (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Set in Mantic Games' Warpath universe and based on its sports tabletop game Dreadball.

Having won the Third Sphere DreadBall tournament by the proverbial skin of their teeth, Leeland Roth and his intrepid Corporate team, the Vitala Vipers, head to the "big leagues" for the chance to play in the elite FSIDL (First Sphere Intergalactic DreadBall League). It's both an honor and a homecoming for Coach Roth, since he left six years prior, vowing never to return after the tragic death of his brother Victor.

But all is not forgotten. There are many within the DreadBall community who not only revere the Roth brothers, but also despise them. Their enemies will stop at nothing--not even murder--to end the Roth name and legacy once and for all. Leeland must now coach his team to respectability while trying to maintain his and Victor's good name.

It's a mad dash for survival, both on and off the DreadBall pitch. Can Leeland keep it together? Will the pressures of his personal life overshadow his responsibilities on the pitch?

Could this possibly be Leeland Roth's final Rush?
