Review: His Robot Wife - a review
Rating: 4 out of 5

In His Robot Wife by Wesley Allison, widower Mike Smith orders a robot wife named Patience. The gist of the tale revolves around societal conflicts over legalizing/recognizing marriage between robots and humans. There is a subplot about an insidious upgrade for the robots which will deprive them of free will. I will give away no more about the storyline so as not to spoil it for readers.The book is a well-written, sedately paced, and very engaging story. The world is believable and interesting. I enjoyed the details about the robots, brand names, the way Patience related and spoke, and the futuristic society presented. It's an easy comfortable read and held my interest to the end.
