Synopsis:
A
Sci-Fi Thrill Ride Set in the Action-Packed Sports Arena of the Future.
A
rising star in the weightless combat sport of zeroboxing, Carr “the Raptor”
Luka dreams of winning the championship title. Recognizing his talent, the Zero
Gravity Fighting Association assigns Risha, an ambitious and beautiful Martian
colonist, to be his brandhelm––a personal marketing strategist. It isn’t long before
she’s made Carr into a popular celebrity and stolen his heart along the way.
As
his fame grows, Carr becomes an inspirational hero on Earth, a once-great
planet that’s fallen into the shadow of its more prosperous colonies. But when
Carr discovers a far-reaching criminal scheme, he becomes the keeper of a
devastating secret. Not only will his choices place everything he cares about
in jeopardy, but they may also spill the violence from the sports arena into
the solar system.

This isn’t your usual book trailer. Instead, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite parts of writing Zeroboxer: envisioning and depicting the sport of zeroboxing. How would a combat sport work in the absence of gravity? Check out what these martial artists and fighters have to say about it.
