From publisher blurb: A decisive match in the international feral football league is taking place between Voghel’s team “Carossa” and New Olson Island’s “Gull’s Reef”. Following a particularly dramatic play, athlete Ivan Brodiv suddenly falls to the ground, motionless. Paramedics immediately rush to help him but all they can do is declare him dead. The match is suspended and the stadium falls prey to chaos as the thousands of fans who came to Voghel to see the match begin to riot.
