Featured Book
The Trap
In a future where Earth is a neglected backwater in a vast interstellar alliance, a young athlete’s meteoric rise in a gravity-defying sport turns into a desperate fight to escape the systemic forces threatening to trap him forever.
Jaylen Robinson is a rising sports star from a not-so-great part of the galaxy: Earth. The future is his. This is his chance. But when a desperate job goes wrong just days before a big race, Jaylen’s promising sports career threatens to succumb to THE TRAP.
Seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker and former Chicago Bear LANCE BRIGGS, Eisner and Harvey Award-nominated writer KYLE HIGGINS (RADIANT BLACK, Immortal Legend Batman), and rising star artist DANILO BEYRUTH (DEEP CUTS, Catwoman) bring you a fast-paced epic about second chances in a world where hard work and talent is no guarantee for success.
This book will be available for purchase at the event.

ABOUT THE TRAP
Jaylen Robinson is a rising sports star from a not-so-great part of the galaxy: Earth. He’s worked hard his whole life. Everyone’s saying that Jaylen is the Next Big Thing for the interstellar sport of the future: surfriding. The future is his. This is his chance. Until it’s not. Days before a big race, everything changes. Jaylen’s surfrider board needs to be repaired but he doesn’t have the money and he doesn’t have very many options. He’s desperate — desperate enough to agree to boost the ship belonging to one of Earth’s Interstellar Senators. But when the job goes wrong and Jaylen Robinson accidentally shoots the Senator, his once-promising sports career threatens to succumb to THE TRAP.
