An Underdog Sci-Fi Sports Novel of Baseball, Supercomputers, and Predictive Analytics

Perennial losers in major league baseball, the Chicago Atoms experience a sudden, inexplicable winning streak after an eccentric new owner takes control and appoints himself starting pitcher. Despite his total lack of professional sports experience, the owner leads the team toward a pennant contention.

Behind the team's miraculous turnaround lies a high-tech secret: a reclusive blind mathematical genius utilizing an advanced mainframe supercomputer to analyze player biomechanics and predict opposing pitches with perfect accuracy. As rival teams investigate the Atoms, the team must guard their computer secret through the pennant chase.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Robert Browne crafts a humorous, lighthearted speculative sports novel combining vintage baseball lore with early computer science fiction. Essential reading for fans of sci-fi sports fiction, tech comedies, and classic underdog tales.
