Armored little people riding armored dinosaurs in a full-contact bloodsport? Welcome to Dinolition, the biggest show in the galaxy. Star rider Poughkeepsie Pete and his T-Rex mount “Old Bess” are fixtures of a league struggling to reach profitability and gain intergalactic recognition, to be thought of as something other than circus-freak sideshows.
But to get that credibility — and the massive payday that comes with it — Pete has to manage a league commissioner with a God complex, deal with a devious team owner, navigate a web of organized crime trying to fix matches, and dodge religious zealots set on killing him and the dinos alike — all while grooming the next generation of riders that will carry the sport into a new age of glory.
In THE RIDER, authors Paul E. Cooley and #1 New York Times bestseller Scott Sigler give “ride till ya die” a whole new meaning.
THE RIDER is a scifi eBook and audiobook available from Amazon and Audible.

The Galactic Football League is a space opera series that combines crime, scifi and sports.
hi Scott
loving the GFL titles from Graphic Audio. they’ve done a great job on the series I must say.
is that it after the Champion then or are there going to be more books in the series?
now just waiting for GA to release the Champion and the Rider 🙂
Liam: Glad you’re digging it!
Just finished it and thought it was great, but that ending is begging for a sequel…any chance of that happening?
Jeremy: No chance for a sequel to THE RIDER, but you will be seeing some of these characters again in the GFL novels.
Just finished listening to chapter one, and I am so stoked. Unbelievable how quickly Sigler/Cooley were able to mentally/emotionally/spiritually (and maybe a tad bit sadistically) bring me right back into the siglerverse. Although I am confident you are already fully aware of this Scott, I know I’m not only speaking for myself when I say one of the reasons I remain a proud junkie addict, is because nothing compares to listening to a GFL story, that is read by you.
Now only if you could find a way to clone yourself and force your clone to write/record 24/7.
ratman19: Thank you, sir. Believe it or not, I’m working on ways to be more focused, write more, record more.
Your welcome. I hope my comment wasn’t read in any way as a negative opinion on the amount of time you dedicate towards your craft. I have faith that you allow yourself 3-4 hours sleep a night, 15-20 minutes of family/leisure time a day, 2-5 minutes of bathroom breaks, and then spend the rest of the day writing/recording. That seems fair to me, so don’t beat yourself up over it.
ratman19: Didn’t take it as negative at all. I would love to get down to four hours of sleep a night, I’d get so much done!
Just bought this on audible. Listening now thanks for the fix D.O.
Mine!!!!
Halt all other reading, I’m on it.
Hey Scott, do you know when this will be available on iTunes?
Mike: We’re working on it right this minute. You should have told us you were psychic.
That’s great, can’t wait to listen.
Cannot wait. Will it be available on the Google Play Store soon?
ZoomDog: We’re actively working on that. Can’t give you a date, but we have to get several books up there.
Will this soon be available as ePub?
BigJohn: Yes, it will. A few days, perhaps.
Well, it’s been a few months, and I cannot find a place to buy an ePub version. Any news about that?
So stoked about this. Purchase purchase purchase!!!!
Mega Awesome!!!
Super mega awesome
Nice. More GFL content to corrupt my brain while I wait for the other novels in the main GFL series.
Nice….so much for finishing that other ebook i was reading…
Nemesis0: That other eBook is trying to corrupt your mind.
And this one isn’t? Not even a little?
