This book received one one star review, & two two star reviews. For the life of me I cannot see why. The one star review was without substance. The writers of the two star reviews may have tried to rush their way through the book and by doing so missed some of the story. I did not find any part of the book slow or confusing.This book takes place in the not-so-distant future, after America seems to have been taken over by a totalitarian government who believes in oppression of it's people, and even more ruthless oppression of those they consider their political enemies. False charges of treason and sedition are levied for minor infractions...or even if someone in the ruling part doesn't like you!I don't like to give away too much of a story. The protagonist is a man named Paul Warner and he and his family attempt. to emigrate, only to have their exit visas cancelled and Paul sent to a work camp. Can he survive? Will his family survive?  And if they CAN survive, can they be reunited? You'll Just have to read it to find the answer...Good book, don't let a couple of undeserved reviews scare you off from a great read
