Review: Possible future?
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 01 29, 2014
An intense and brutal imagining of a dystopian America in the neat future.  The Unionist Party's rise to power and the subsequent formation of corrective labor camps in the American west.  A man and his family are separated with the mother and youngest daughter being detained in Philadelphia while the father is arrested and sent to a camp in Utah and the eldest daughter is searching for her father.  There are heroes and cowards within the camp and without.  This story is so gripping and thought provoking that I could not put it down.  The characters are well developed with villeins you really hate and heroes you love.  The majority of the story goes back and forth between the father and daughter who is searching for him.  The author shows a great many facets of being human and also man's inhumanity to man, both very realistically.  This is the first book by this author I have read, but it certainly won't be the last  I highly recommend this story, not as entertainment, but as a possible future?  I received this through Library Thing giveaways for an honest review.
