K Muzira has done an excellent job. This book is testimony to the author's creative genius. He gave a  fast, exciting futuristic story while running parallels with present day realities like government's spying on citizens. Muzira does a good job of spicing this dark story with humor. In an unspecified near future, the United State government is toppled, giving way to the Ten Provinces of America. In the Ten Provinces, the president's word is law and the government doesn't tolerate dissenting voices. The futuristic story is easy to read and it is unbelievably believable.Freddie, the protagonist, is caught up in the fight for survival. His best friend has been arrested for being an anti-government activist and Freddie decides he has to do something to save his friend from certain execution. Freddie's decision to help his friend is suicidal. If the government catches him, he would join his friend on death row. Freddie is a biologist who works in a game park. He is fat and he doesn't look like your everyday action hero. Along the way, he meets Jennifer. She is a self-styled tough girl who is good with a gun. She dislikes Freddie but she must join forces with him in their fight for survival.The author clearly explains how the electronic gags work. Electronic gags are collars which the government use to silence and track people. Although this book is science fiction, none of its concepts defies the laws of science. The government of the Ten Provinces made the electronic gags using proven scientific concepts and this is one of the things that make this story believable.
