"Clever idea... and great concept. Reminds me of a football Field of Dreams. The journey the main character takes you through the book is great... It kept me interested throughout. I love football and I would love to see this on film."

"American football's answer to Field of Dreams with a touch more magic. A tale of broken dreams and heart warming courage leaves you thinking of all that's good with the world. The characters are well thought out and spring to life in your imagination as you follow the life of Sammy the football star who's career is cut short through injury. His trials become your trials"

Book Description: On a Field of Legends by Nicholas Julius (ISBN: 0595284167) When Sammy Balles leg is shattered on the final play of the college football National Championship, his chances of going pro are shattered as well. While wallowing in self-pity and contemplating what might have been, catastrophe strikes when his young niece is injured and falls into a coma. When Death comes to take her away, Sammy challenges him to a football game for her life. Deaths stipulation, however, is that all of the players Sammy chooses to fill in his roster must have passed on. With the help of an elderly football guru, Sammy compiles his team of Legends, including greats such as Nitschke, Grange, Alzado, and Hutson. The game that ensues is not at all what Sammy had in mind however, as he must overcome Deaths hidden clauses and tricks.In a one-time football game where the stakes are life and death itself, you will not need players, you will need Legends.
