Our setting is several hundred years in the future and Mankind almost wiped itself out.  Now the only thing left is one city with hundreds of millions of people living in it.  This city is portrayed like almost any city in Sci-Fi or modern literature.  You have the upper class elements, not much of a middle class and a huge, serf-like lower class.But, beyond the city dwellers, there are folks that live in the radiation covered outside world.  Many are exiles from the city, but some are born there.The story flows pretty well from front to back in a decent plot and a few engaging characters.  There is a lot of violence in the book but it is part and parcel of what is happening in the city.So, we have:PoliticsActionA strong heroIntrigueBetrayal - sort of....Plots within plots.I enjoyed reading it.  The book did have closure but the setting is one that could be expounded upon in several ways, made into it's own literary universe.  Not sure if the author will carry it any farther but I liked it.
