Beware of Spoilers! At the beginning of the story I found it hard to get into due to the main character's paper thin dedication to his job, but then we find out what his job is, and we understand. He's betrayed by everyone he knows and is set up as an enemy of the state. I won't go ruining the whole story, but there were some inconsistencies that I found difficult. One is that he spends months in the frozen winter of Alaska and Canada after his escape from the prison, sleeping in the open, sometimes without fire or food, but as soon as he makes it to Utah the first thing he seeks out is a place to rent. I found myself saying, "it's spring in the continental US, go sleep in an ally, it should be like a tropical vacation."All in all though, it was a fun read, and part of my favorite type of fantasy noel, a dystopian future, where the country's lost it's collective mind, and our heroes are the ones to bring back sanity.
