THE CHAMPION - BOOK Five: After his most successful season yet on the field, Quentin sister - his only family - is lost in the Portath Cloud, an area considered to be the "Bermuda Triangle" of the galaxy. To save her, Quentin and his teammates must first escape team owner Gredok the Splithead, and acquire a ship capable of surviving the unknown dangers that await. Quentin's leadership and intelligence are put to the test as Becca, the Tweedy Brothers, Denver and more risk their lives to save his sister. Set against the backdrop of a professional American football franchise seven centuries in the future, the Galactic Football League puts huge humans on the field with five alien races to create a game that is faster, stronger and deadlier than anything we know today. Quarterback Quentin Barnes has grown from a racist, small-town standout into a proven leader, a uniter of peoples, and the Galaxy's most-famous athlete. Willing to do anything for his team, his Ionath Krakens have bound together through shared sacrifice, tragedy, devastating losses and thrilling victories. The GFL series combines science fiction, crime and blistering sports action to create a non-stop, pulse-pounding adventure that you can't put down until the last second ticks off the clock.

His loyal fans, who named themselves “Junkies,” have downloaded over thirty million individual episodes of his stories and interact daily with Scott and each other in the social media space.
Scott reinvented book publishing when he released EARTHCORE as the world’s first “podcast-only” novel.
