Description:
Rollerball Murder – the deadly
game of the twenty-first century. At a signal forty players run, skate and bike
for their lives around a high banked, hardwood track, dodging the careening
25-pound oval balls which scatter and maim and over 300 miles an hour.
No rules, no rest
periods, no substitutes. It’s play up or die. Just two hours of brute speed and
crowd-pleasing carnage viewed simultaneously the world over on multivision …
Rollerball
Murder is one of thirteen tightly written, provocative and, ultimately,
unforgettable stories of the past, present and the horrifying future.
