MAX
Max Aries is out of this world. Literally. He's a skinny twenty-seven year-old who performs impossible feats. He takes the Cincinnati Rams, a mediocre professional football team and makes them Super Bowl Champions. Science fiction? Well, sort of.

About the author
Barry Friedman
12 booksThere is more than one author with this name
During my fifty-odd years as an orthopaedic surgeon. I kept a small notebook (and paper napkins) on which I recorded incidents I thought were unusual. Most were humorous, some tragic. After I retired I started writing vignettes based on these notes. Several were published in obscure magazines. Then I read an article by Lawrence Block (a REAL writer) in which he stated that if you can write a short story you can write a book. I took him at his word, embellished several of the vignettes and have now published twelve books. Living off twenty-dollar royalty checks ain't easy, but it beats bagging groceries at Safeway.
The books are all listed on Amazon.com. They are in paperback and ebook format.

This book was fun to read. The plot and characters were slightly predictable and under-developed, but the whole story was really nice and the football parts didn't feel out of place and were entertaining.
