PLAYING ON THE EDGE
BLACK AND WHITE EDITION
ARKSEY, NEIL
In 2063 top flight football is faster, more skilful and even more competitive than ever. Regulations allow players to turn pro at 15. Clubs push their players to the limit. And beyond.
There are rumours that young players have become sick and some have even died from the side effects of supplements they are being made to take under the clubs' harsh training regimes.
Easy Linker, a gifted young footballer, lives for the game and dreams of playing for Gunman Reds, the team he has always followed. So when his dad suddenly quits his job as a talent scout for the club and bans him from having anything more to do with the sport, he is devastated. And when, a few days later, his dad disappears without warning, its even more of a shock.
Then Easy gets a visit from the club. Years ago his dad signed a contract on his behalf. And now Easy belongs to them.
Its time. They've come to take him away
