Trisk is a book about the will to win. Because winning Trisk, a lawless, ruthless game that has punched, gunned, and sexed itself into a national obsession... yes, winning Trisk... that can only mean winning everything. Enter Curtis Powell. A hero. A heartthrob. A man who means only to play Trisk with the world's best... and then stomp all over them. But he's not going to win. No, he's not going to win, no matter how hard he wills. Why? Because the game has been stacked against him from the beginning......
In a futuristic America overtaken by obsession with Trisk, one man sets out to be a star Trisk athlete with *gasp* a moral conscience. Will fortune and fame and the pressure to win prove too much for the noble player?
The writing is quick and entertaining as the story follows the career of the young hopeful player in this action-packed debut. Great stuff. Characters surrounding the hero are a little underdeveloped, but over all, Trisk has the power to hook its readers in and hold them captive until the final pages. It's a really enjoyable read for sci-fi or sports fans as well as readers looking for a smart read.
Literally found this at a yard sale in Princeton years ago. I just loved the moral conflicts mixed with futuristic sports. I’m a Christian too and there was definitely elements of the authors spiritually. Loved it!
