I'm thrilled to have lucked onto this book.  It was offered as a free Kindle book back in March.  I finally got around to reading it the other day--and from the beginning I was enthralled.  As free books go, this one is a gem among the rough.  It's obvious that this isn't the author's first novel.  The writing is polished and the formatting is nearly perfect; I only found three typos.The characters in this fast-paced (dare I call it a thriller) adventure are well developed, and the story and setting are unique.  The author does a great job of drawing the reader immediately in as he introduces Deke, Kevin, Ivy and the rest of dwellers of the tiny Iowa town of Dodge, where nothing electronic works if it was made sometime after the 60 or 70s.  I felt the same sense of urgency experienced by the main characters when it seemed as if the camo-dudes would triumph over Dodge and the guitar they so coveted would be lost forever.I cared about the characters and was sad to say goodbye to them at the end of the novel.  I'm not bullthiting you (my new favorite phrase.)I plan to read the other novels written by this author.
