The US President has become a President for Life, and the country is run by Unionist loyalists. Those insurgents opposing this new world are hunted down and sent to prison camps in remote Western states.Warren Linder, a 38 year old Journeyman CIA case officer, has a history as a self-starter, but he is now disillusioned and filled with regret with what his life has turned into, including escapism through alcohol , and chronic nightmares featauring the people he had targetedWith the growing isolationism of the USA driving a shrinking role for intelligence officers, Linder accepts the proposal of a self-promoting former comrade and joins the Department of State Security to utilize his skills and experience. His first assignment is to gain the confidence of a very wealthy emigre' insurgent leader in Beirut in order to bring him back to the USA. Linder must pose as an insurgent leader from a restricted zone out in Utah. Through extreme coincidence unknown to DSS, Linder may have familiarity with the targeted insurgent and his daughter due to some childhood experiences.Linder's role-playing is outed by the target, and DSS management exacts a revenge on Linder through the Unionist kanagaroo court system and prison camps. American life has changed due to diverse events such as a war in Russia and natural event calamities. The narrative of Linder adjusting to the camps and his fellow inmates is far beyond any ordinary story one wll find in the marketplace today. Much of Canada has been annexed to the USA for purposes of state security, and Linder must determine if he is to survive in a Yukon mining and logging camp. We learn of the USA under the President for Life from the experiences of the DSS prisoners who have offended the state through their questioning and actions.The adventure that unfolds beyond this point is thoroughly credible and captivating. Survival skills come into play during months in the wild. Impressive author wilderness survival research and knowledge bears fruit; I loved it.Readers will find EXILE HUNTER is a story of the personal redemption of intelligence officer Warren Linder, and it gives the reader great satisfaction on several levels.  We are drawn into the soul of Linder.It is hard to put down the book.I recommend this book without qualification.Readers should be interested in Preston Fleming's KAMAS TRILOGY prequel works: Forty Days at Kamas and Star Chamber Brotherhood.
