Review: Outstanding cyberpunk dystopian sci-fi

I am a huge science fiction fan and Hunters of the Last Dungeon lived up to my expectations. Hiro and Olly are a brother/sister team trying to survive extreme games known as the Hunters Test in order to become hunters. If they succeed, their names will become legend. If they fail, they die.For me the story brought to mind King's short story, The Long Walk, as well as Hunger Games, but it really stands on its own unique legs. Loads of action and adventure, and plenty of danger, combined with strong characters that are easy to connect to, make this a captivating story. Wagner's writing chops are well showcased here, creating a compelling coming of age story set in a dystopian landscape. I realize this is written for the young adult crowd but this old adult totally appreciated the puzzle Hunters presented.
