Review:
No matter the sport,
scouting for talented players can be one of the most challenging aspects of
sports. How does one go about determining who are the best players, let alone
trying to cover the entire globe to find those players? In this quick read, Anthony Ranieri takes the reader on an adventure into
the future where technology will help answer that question, but not without
perils.
Gunnar Grimmson has
created a player identification drone that will take all the player data and
observations for any player and let a scout know whether that player is the one
that will take a team to the promised land. It is used successfully to lure a
young talented player to Sydney, but there are concerns that this information
could be used for espionage and other nefarious activities. Ranieri keeps the action fast paced, the
technology futuristic and the dialogue crisp between all characters. Because of these traits, this is a story that
is one that is not only quick and easy to read, it is one that is very
entertaining.
The only part that may
leave a reader less than satisfied is the ending, as it is open and doesn't
really seem to answer any of the burning questions a reader will have, but this
is the first of a multi-part story, so if this topic is one that a reader wants
to read about in order to escape the real world for a couple of hours, it is a worthy
choice.
I wish to thank the
author for providing a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
