Lance Briggs: The Trap, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A BOLD ALLEGORY FOR SYSTEMIC INEQUALITY: Uses speculative fiction to explore race, economic disparity, and systemic failure --- a richly imagined sci-fi world that posits a future where Earth has been annexed into an interstellar coalition yet left socially and economically marginalized. POWERFUL PERSONAL BACKSTORY FROM A UNIQUE CREATOR: Co-created by former NFL All-Pro linebacker Lance Briggs, whose own experiences growing up in underserved communities deeply inform the book's themes of opportunity, adversity, and resilience. SCI-FI SPORTS EPIC: Follows Jaylen Robinson, a rising interstellar "surfriding" sports star whose dreams are derailed by desperate choices, exploring ambition, consequence, and second chances within a futuristic, high-stakes environment. Jaylen Robinson is a rising sports star from a not-so-great part of the galaxy: Earth. The future is his. This is his chance. But when a desperate job goes wrong just days before a big race, Jaylen's promising sports career threatens to succumb to THE TRAP. Seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker and former Chicago Bear LANCE BRIGGS, Eisner and Harvey Award-nominated writer KYLE HIGGINS (RADIANT BLACK, Immortal Legend Batman), and rising star artist DANILO BEYRUTH (DEEP CUTS, Catwoman) bring you a fast-paced epic about second chances in a world where hard work and talent is no guarantee for success.
