Really enjoyed this one! First half comprises a coming of age story as the two young men survive life in or about the Everglades. Gotta feel for Thomas as evidenced by these statements "His father was out of breath from beating the boy. So he stopped, for a while." and "He didn't give a bleep about living, any more than he cared about dying". Second half of book chronicles Gabriel's stint as a Delta force commando with a wild finish in their effort to protect both the border and the U.S. president from imminent destruction. Were it better edited I'd give it 5 stars rather than 4.5 stars but I am definitely on board for another helping!
