Review: Pleasant light entertainment

L J DeLeon's Ultimate Game was a pleasant afternoon read, entertaining and light.  This made it easy to suspend belief and accept the idea of  main characters Max and Maddie being revived after centuries of suspension  and overcoming all odds in a hostile, high tech future very different from their own time, 1875.  We are so used to the robots and cyborgs in this genre that the concept is not startling, although the way of creating cyborgs in this novel is unusually cruel, to emphasise the danger of this time. This was a complimentary copy  and  while enjoyable enough, engendered only  a mild desire to read more about Max and Maddie in any future  instalments there might be.
