Review: Exciting political and sexual intrigue
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 06 11, 2014
The premise is that the United States has voluntarily split up into several different countries, and the story evolves around the top officials of one of the new countries, their relationship with each other, and with their sister countries, particularly in opposing a strong threat from the past.  It is very exciting with plenty of surprises and a little bit of science fiction.The story is definitely R-rated.  There is plenty of profanity and sex, but the sex is not explicit.I was a little disappointed that there was not more discussion of the political differences between the different parts of the original country and how the new countries dealt with problems differently after the partition.  Perhaps there will be a second, follow-on book.
