Excellent alert of what the world can come to if people don't wake up. The US government is already trying to kill people with GMO foods, fluoridated water, Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) where the animals/chickens are kept alive only with massive doses of hormones and antibiotics, fruits and vegetables devoid of nutrition from the use of chemical fertilizers (not to mention poisoning people with the widespread use of toxic pesticides)...on and on. One reviewer wrote: " Over all, humanity does go on." Not necessarily. In the book the massive death tolls of people due to a virus is not so far fetched if the government chooses to do away with a lot of people in a short time. (I know...people who are not aware will accuse me of wearing a tin foil hat.)I started to give it 4 stars because of a few errors - twice the author confused his characters, and there were numerous errors in the use of the verbs "to lie" and "to lay." But then again, it is a rare author indeed who knows how to use these two verbs correctly. Why? The conjugations are easily found on the internet. Sometimes he got it right, other times not. He also made a few pronoun errors, such as "between Anna and I"..."Bare witness" - no, bear witness. The mistake of using "stocks" for "stalks."  "Roughed grouse?" I wonder who "ruffed" them up? Hard to believe that the author listed the name of his editor. I'll bet she is embarrassed. The author needs a new editor!Oh, well, the book was excellent anyway. And I lost some sleep because the ending of each chapter made me want to go on to the next to see what would happen.
