¿In the thrilling finale to the bestselling basketball trilogy, teen hoops star Zeke Archer is ready to fulfill a lifelong dream: running point for the best college basketball team in the country! But on what should be the best day of his life, things take a horrible turn. Zeke's truck has been completely dismantled, leaving him with no way to drive to a university 1,600 miles away. His on-again, off-again girlfriend has written him a letter that can only be heart-crushing. And Zeke's father is in critical condition, hanging on by thread in the VA hospital . . . But to make matters absolutely worse, Zeke's nemesis and archrival Brock Decker is suddenly rich and famous-and appears responsible for a most insidious plan to alter the future of basketball's history. With barely any time to fix things, Zeke, together with his best friend Lawrence, will somehow have to break interdimensional barriers of time and space to return to the very spot where the game he loves was invented, all in an attempt to undo everything. But if the clock runs out, Zeke Archer and everything he loves will be gone!

Autorenporträt
Despite being relatively earthbound most of the time, Craig Leener has long maintained a keen interest in space travel. He's also a big fan of basketball, having immersed himself in the game since his youth as a player, coach, referee, fan and, later in life, as a sportswriter.Craig has an above-average ability to go to his left and maintains a solid perimeter jumper. His free-throw percentage on his backyard home court is an implausible 87 percent - and to this day, that number remains 100-percent officially unverified. And what the author lacks in foot speed, leaping ability, and defense, he makes up for in court smarts and postgame snacks.Craig is a lifelong opponent of the instant replay in sports. He maintains this contrarian point of view because of the intrinsic value he places on the human element's potential to influence the outcome of athletic competition, inadvertently or otherwise.Craig holds degrees from Los Angeles Valley College and California State University, Northridge. He sits on the board of directors of CSUN's Journalism Alumni Association and serves as the organization's director of scholarships. Although Craig possesses an innate curiosity about what might reside beyond the heavens, he lives in the suburbs of Los Angeles with his truly otherworldly wife, Andrea.There's No Basketball on Mars is his fourth young-adult novel, following the publication of the Zeke Archer Basketball Trilogy. The author and his publishing company, Green Buffalo Press, will donate a portion of proceeds from the sale of this book to Exceptional Minds, an academy and studio that prepares young adults on the autism spectrum for careers in animation, visual effects, 3D gaming, and other related fields in the entertainment industry. The organization is headquartered in Los Angeles.
