Football Force

Description

Since the invention of power-enhancing body armour, football has never been the same. The youth league is dominated by the ruthless Vestige United. However, Jim Tranton thinks Vestige may be cheating. He enters the dangerous underworld of the armour companies to learn how and makes a startling discovery.
