Yolanda’s search for the killer of Grace McDermot finally comes to fruition. She’s found a store near the building where McDermot was killed, a store that has security cameras monitoring the exit of that building. If those records are intact, Yolanda will have incontrovertible evidence of who left the building right after McDermot died — and that will give her the killer.

After interviewing Ma Tweedy — mother of Ju Tweedy, the man accused of the murder of Grace McDermot — Yolanda increasingly questions the official story of the Madderch police. Yolanda also thinks her friend Miriam — McDermot’s bodyguard when McDermot was murdered — is holding back information. Yolanda and Whykor have arranged to meet Miriam at the game between the OS1 Orbiting Death and the To Pirates, played on the home field of the Death, that facility famously known as “The Black Hole.” On the field, it’s Condor Adrian vs. Frank Zimmer, and off the field, it’s Yolanda Davenport vs. this damn story.

After recovering, yolanda was surprised to learn that Ju Tweedy’s mother — the delightful, tiny Human known to many as “Ma Tweedy” — was still on Madderch. Yolanda and Whykor the Aware are on their way to interview her. And now, Episode number six of … the reporter.

Star reporter Yolanda Davenport has been tasked by GFL Commissioner Rob Froese to get the real story behind the murder of Grace McDermot. Krakens runningback Ju Tweedy was accused of that murder, an event that almost got him killed by Orbiting Death owner and crimelord Anna Villani, and led to Ju joining the Ionath Krakens. In just her first few hours on the case, Yolanda has already been threatened by Quyth Warrior Marik the Covetous, who may be connected to Krakens owner Gredok the Splithead. Why would Gredok get in the way of finding out the truth about McDermot’s murder and Ju’s possible guilt?

That's a wrap for TITLE FIGHT, the first GFL novella. It fits nicely between SEASON ONE, THE ROOKIE, and SEASON THREE: THE STARTER, which is next in the feed. The entire GFL series incorporates nine novels and six novellas into one unified timeline. In short, you have many stories ahead of you.

I have many other full-length podcast stories outside of the GFL series.

If hard-science horror is your bag, dive into the Infected Trilogy. Three seasons. Eighty-eight episodes. 53 hours of blood-drenched carnage.

Do you dig monster stories? Then you'll love ANCESTOR, my summer blockbuster monsters-on-an-island story, or NOCTURNAL, which I describe as LETHAL WEAPON meets HELLBOY. Sorta.

And, of course, subscribe to my free weekly fiction series, Scott Sigler Slices, the world's longest-running fiction podcast.
