Although this book has a very interesting concept and plot and I do plan to read the series, I found it be much more adult in style then it maybe needs to be. Because of that I have told my househould that it is adult reading not for children or even young adults in my opinion. I am very much looking forward to how some of the civil, racial and governing issues progress and are handled. It does tend to make one think about things... well atleast it does me.

I had put this book on my reminder list after reading the plot line and some of the reviews. I finally decided to give it a try and I am very happy that I did.

I started reading the book the same evening as it arrived and absolutely could not put it down until my husband awoke about midnight and asked me to shut my light PLEASE.

I ordered the next two in the series the next morning even before finishing # 1

This is the first in a very long series starting with the nuclear destruction of much of the world. Three major military powers gambling with nuclear and biological weapons as their playing cards....double-cross power plays. Sounds familiar? Does to me!!

There is a reluctant hero, lots of bad guys and some outright evil people. And then there are the rest of us....ordinary just wanting to pick up the pieces and try to live a peaceful life.

Call it pulp fiction if you wish. I agree BUT...there is bad pulp fiction and there is good pulp fiction. Only the reader can make that decision.

I do recommend this book with a comment to parental guidance...there is a lot of violence here but probably not much worse than the current nightly news.
