The first book of the science fiction series by J. Post Rugel. This first book of the TTFC series is the story of Professor Terminus's adventure through time as he attempts to recruit the greatest known footballers of all time for a team that will represent the Earth on the intergalactic stage. From Pele to Maradona and players from the dystopian future, the TTFC features footballers from all seven continents to have a true All-Earthican roster for the upcoming Battle for Orion's Belt! Once his recruitment is done, the professor schedules preseason matches against some of the ancient civilizations who first had primitive versions of football(soccer), like the Aztec Empire, the game of Mob Ball in London during the 1600-1700s and more as they prepare themselves to take on the interstellar World Cup style tournament hosted on Pluto.
