"When Man goes to the stars, he'll bring a ball with him." Hit the court, tee off, and play ball in these five short stories about future sports. ¿Going into the baseball season's final game, he could be the first player in a century to hit .400. Thanks to his genetically engineered eyes. ¿The basketball coach needs to turn underachieving stars into a winning team. The franchise's new owner, a big pharma tycoon, gives him a new invention in "team chemistry." ¿In the twilight of his career, the powercrosse star signs with the perennial power for his last best shot at a championship. But jetting after the ball in zero gee, will he pay the price of winning at all costs? ¿His bitter rival challenges him to a golf match. The stakes? A holy relic. The course location? On the Moon. ¿The ultimate flying disc team on an alien planet faces one challenge. Win or go "home." To an Earth the young team has never seen. Will an unexpected coach help them, or ruin their chances? Pull on your jersey, strap on your jet pack, and join our team on a road trip across the wide galaxy of sports. Because even on the Moon or under alien suns, it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game.
Autorenporträt
I'm Raymund Eich. I use my Middle American upbringing as a launchpad for journeys to the ends of the Universe. Growing up in the Midwest prepared me for my academic career, culminating with a Ph.D. in biochemistry from Rice University. It helps me help inventors prosper and the world benefit from innovations in medicine, biotechnology, and other life sciences. Above all, it inspires me to write science fiction and fantasy about ordinary people facing extraordinary wonders and terrors, battling enemies both foreign and domestic, and building better lives for themselves, their families, and their societies. My last name has one syllable and is pronounced "eye-sh." I live in Houston with my family. You can learn more about me at https://raymundeich.com.
