INTERGALACTIC BASTARD
About this ebook
Coop Sabre, along with his exploding barbed wire bat, Guy, has turned the galaxy upside down, taking crowds across the galaxy by storm. The brutal bloodsport of alien deathmatches was no place for the average person, but nothing about Coop and his reckless fighting style was average.
With everything he desires seemingly within reach, an unwanted question pops into his mind: Is this really what he wants out of his life?
The vicious cycle of violence, addiction and depression takes a toll on every warrior. It’s up to Coop to find where he belongs, or he risks losing it all.
He is the INTERGALACTIC BASTARD.
***
INTERGALACTIC BASTARD is an over-the-top cyberpunk science fiction adventure story built on a foundation with a lot of heart.
Built on a foundation of imagining a future where humans unlock the galaxy and find dozens of alien races, we find ourselves outmatched and underpowered in the galaxy’s sport of choice: gladiatorial combat. No human could hold their own until former bouncer Coop Sabre smashed his way to the top.
INTERGALACTIC BASTARD samples from the competitive worlds of mixed martial arts (UFC, Bellator, etc.) and professional wrestling (AEW, WWE, BJW, GCW, etc.). While there are plenty of combat scenes, the heart of the story revolves around Coop Sabre’s quest to build a family for himself and feel comfortable in his own skin, all in a futuristic, cyberpunk setting with evil corporations and all.
Goodreads reviewer Kathy Wortham touches on the universality: “Even if you don’t like wrestling, SCI-FI readers will like this.”
Goodreads reviewer Karen does as well: “Walsh’s Intergalactic Bastard may appeal to a Sci-Fi audience who are also going through personal struggles and enjoy a bit of UFC thrown in for fun.”
About the author
Dave Walsh was once the world's foremost kickboxing journalist, if that makes any sense. He's still trying to figure that one out.
The thing is, he always loved writing and fiction was always his first love. He wrote 'Godslayer' in hopes of leaving the world of combat sports behind, which, as you can guess, did not exactly work. That's when a lifelong love of science fiction led him down a different path.
Now he writes science fiction novels about far-off worlds, weird technology and the same damned problems that humanity has always had, just with a different setting.
He does all of this while living in the high desert of Albuquerque and raising twin boys with his wife. He's still not sure which is harder: watching friends get knocked out or raising boys.
