The creator of James Bond, Ian Fleming, once said his goal was to write books for business men to read on trains. To me, that meant easy and quick reads that hold one's attention but certainly aren't trying to change one's mind much less change one's life. I thought of James Bond when I started reading this, and 100 chapters in, the comparison still seems as apt. I happened to enjoy all of Fleming's Bond novels (yes, I'm old), and I enjoy this too, **: I've never been a serious gamer, but I kind of also enjoy the MMORPG setting... so much so, that who knows? Maybe I'll try one of the new systems someday just to see if it's any fraction as fun as Galaxy seems to be.
