ZEROBOXER

Rocky meets Gattaca in this action-loaded thrill-ride of celebrity, competition, and personal responsibility.

Carr "the Raptor" Luka is a rising star in the weightless combat sport called zeroboxing. To help him win the championship title, the Zero Gravity Fighting Association assigns Risha, an ambitious and beautiful Martian colonist, to be his brandhelm—a personal marketing strategist. It isn't long before she's made Carr into a popular celebrity and stolen his heart along the way. But as his fame grows, Carr becomes an inspirational hero on Earth, a once-great planet that's fallen into the shadow of its more prosperous colonies. And when Carr learns of a far-reaching criminal scheme, he becomes the keeper of a devastating secret. Not only will his choices place everything he holds dear into jeopardy, they may also spill the violence from the sports arena into the solar system. Fonda Lee lives in Portland, Oregon and writes science fiction and fantasy for teens and adults, and is an avid martial artist with black belts in karate and kung fu. A former corporate strategist, Fonda has advised or worked in a number of Fortune 500 firms, including, most recently, a certain global sports company. ZEROBOXER is her debut novel.
