Farm Team

About the Book

A tale of conquest and rebellion taking place in the near future. Three key characters propel the plot.

Jokar had led the first group of Gyrll troops to land on Earth. His attack on the base at Colorado Springs spearheaded the invasion of the planet. In fact, the analysis carried out by the High Command at the end of the war determined that the successful attack on Colorado Springs was the key to victory. As a result Jokar was given management of one of the General's farms on very generous terms.

The Gryll had conquered Earth, destroyed it's infrastructure, enslaved the human population and set back civilization hundreds of years. However they were not invincible. Plans were in motion to overthrow Earth's conquerors. But what problems would humanity face when the revolt succeeded? Pete had the organization in place and the vision to deal with them and baseball was a key element in his plan.

Jimmy McClaren just wanted to play baseball. If he was good enough he could make the Major Leagues. That would be a lot better life than slaving for the Gryll doing field work. Jimmy had worked at learning baseball from his dad since he was five. That's when the farm team was started up by a coach named Pete. Jimmy had the skill and intelligence to become a major leaguer. However, Pete had other ideas.
