Add to basketPaperback. The year is 2070. The United States, contrary to the opinion of many this century, still exists. However, political strife has caused two breakaway nations to blossom. The Democratic States of America exists mainly in the northeast and western sectors in the country, while the Independent American Union was also formed in states the decided they no longer wanted to be pawns in ever increasing battles between Republicans and Democrats. The American dollar went away, replaced a global currency called the Earth Credit. With the divide between political parties widening, insurance agent Alan Stoneman invents the game of Cubeball in the quiet hamlet of Roanoke, Virginia. The game, a combination of mainly American football, basketball, and Gaelic football, is played inside a Plexiglas cube on a field roughly the size of a hockey rink. But there's something about the game captures worldwide interest over the years, and by the dawn of the 2070s, the game is played by over 8,000 professional clubs in eight geographic regions in scores of nations. Intrigue surrounds the yearly playing of the Global Club Championship in Las Vegas, as a team from a Los Angeles office supply chain battles a Japanese media consortium for the Stoneman Trophy. Five million Earth Credits (about $25,000,000) goes to each player of the winning team, but this year's final breaks new ground. It turns a star player for the Los Angeles team is dating one of the more celebrated female players on the Japanese team, a story in itself that makes headlines due to the usual secrecy that surrounds player fraternization in the Planet Earth Cubeball League. As it turns out, author Lucas Shaughnessy has problems of his own to deal with concerning the opposite sex. His married female boss can't keep her hands off of him, leading to the revelation and rescue of Shaughnessy by a secret admirer. What other mysteries are revealed as Lucas and his crew converge upon Sin City? Find out in The Cubeball Chronicles, the first part of a three book trilogy. This item is printed on demand.
