This book is more visceral than cerebral. Football aficionados will find it more palatable than the rest of the world. I'm not sure it is a YA book but it reads as if it is. An award winning football team is drafted to the future.
The premise of the book is a stretched version of the
current concerns about the safety of football.
Recent players who have retired rather than play bring more feasibility
to the premise of the book. If you take
automated pitchers from baseball or tennis ball throwing machines and project
their genealogy into the future you might find the probability of the book
increasing.
Far fetched comes to mind when reading the book and that is
from a die hard SciFi fan. With that
said, I enjoyed the book. It was a fast
paced read and carried some current concerns to a seemingly logical
conclusion.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
