We learn early on in the books that Quentin's an orphan. Anybody wanna tackle a "Quentin meets his parents" scene? That'd be kinda cool. ------- Whole Lot of Nonsense PodCast - http://www.wholelotofnonsense.org UUCSH Sunday Services - http://uucsh.libsyn.com Follow Me - http://www.twitter.com/bpende Pownce on Me - http://www.pownce.com/bpende

Quentin finds out that he has a daughter that he never knew about, when she is brought to live with him. The cute little girl turns his whole world upside down, and many hilarious adventures ensue with them and their Bulldog Spike.....wait a second, this is sounding familiar.....

... in Siggie's version, Spike may get sliced open with the little girl slipping and sliding in his entrails, as Quentin rips the arms from their attacker. It's all in the execution. ------- Whole Lot of Nonsense PodCast - http://www.wholelotofnonsense.org UUCSH Sunday Services - http://uucsh.libsyn.com Follow Me - http://www.twitter.com/bpende Pownce on Me - http://www.pownce.com/bpende

Yeah, I bet Quentin has a little "blue-skin" bastard child from "that one time" in college... crazy kid. Either way though, I hope the next few Rookie's have lots of focus on the different mob/drug/underground alien culture type feel that, to me, tied it in which a few of my favorite dystopian tales like bladerunner and whatnot... Can't wait!

There's a whole universe out there to play ball in... Yeah, they made it to Tier 1 - yipee... But the money's not in ball, it's in the bag... All those new open "trading" routes for the sindicate... What happens when rival mobs fight for territory? Do the GFL teams become pawns in their power plays? What about the To Pirates, and their "courting" of Quentin? What will their take on Quentin be now that he's firmly ensconced with the Krakens... What would happen if Greedok demanded that Quentin tank a game with another team because it would open new trade routes for him? With Quentin becoming so chummy with all the sub-races, will his own people dis-own him and maybe even work against him? What if he was banned from the purest nation and then suddenly his parents showed up back on his home planet? Would the team pull together to get them out? What would that look like? having a bunch of Ki linemen on Purest Nation soil trying to effect a rescue mission. A scene straight out of a nightmare, that's what...

Quintin has shown he can *really* unite the races. How much you wanna bet that by book 3, we're in a full-blown intergallactice rebellion with Quintin as a bit more than just a 'gridiron general'. And what's better is that since it's Sigler writing it instead of George Lucas ... we'll get it in order and most of it WON'T suck. Tastes Like Chicken

I think Quinten will have a fall from grace after taking the "Big Payday" from somewhere else only to return and rebuild his rep on and off the field
