Game
By J.J. Rose
A Better World Cup. A better world.
The World Cup is supposed to be a celebration of the beautiful game, but the dark political underbelly has made it otherwise. When Asher Fox receives a mysterious call begging for his help to bring back the light, he sets off on a worldwide search for the heart of the game.
But Asher doesn't know the danger that awaits. Huge, warring corporations and governments stand in his way, and he is in the crossfire. To get the game back to the people, he will need to be part of something more - a revolution.
A book that makes you wonder just how much fiction is fact.
