First of all, I have to give Ms. D'Souza kudos for being a master of the mechanics of writing - being able to craft a story in a nicely-flowing way, without punctuation mistakes or clunky dialogue!  Thank you for that.Mechanics aside, the author has created a set of interesting characters and placed them within a compellingly tense situation. A community on the edge of breaking, food running low, tensions high.  I agree with other reviewers that the politics of the story are a bit heavy-handed in spots, and the end of the chapter is a little confusing, but overall the story is entertaining, intriguing, and holds the promise of lots of additional adventure to come. I'm definitely interested in finding out more about Aaron, Martin, their families, and the identity of the Mole Rat!
