Gold Team

Gold Team 2009 Post 321


Gold Team is a manga-style graphic novel in the Space Sports series. In this one, Prof, who is a grandfather in Space Skipper, is quite young. His father, Doc, is kept very busy at Space Station Nova, looking after the station, and training with Blue Team. Nonny, a child newly-arrived on Nova, discovers young Prof and his friends are secretly practising 3D at night, despite a ban on using lights and power.  The mayor's nephew spies on them, because he wants to play on their team. When Blue Team gets into trouble with injured players, there's no one to play in the championship, so the newly-formed Gold Team Junior takes over. The seeds of this idea are planted to the stories written earlier but set later, when it's revealed that young players are at an advantage, being smaller, lighter and more agile than adults.

The goal for 2017 is to write a post a day profiling the background behind one of my books; how it came to be written, what it's about, and any things of note that happened along the way. If you're an author, an aspiring author, a reader or just someone who enjoys windows into worlds, you might find this fun. The books are not in any special order, but will be assigned approximate dates, and pictures, where they exist.
