A fast adventurous read with good positive undertones. I liked the suspenseful opening chapter grimly hinting at the trouble ahead. After that, the author put his foot down and took his character Frank Shelby on a journey through hell and high water. A bunch of nice likeable characters here, each with his or her own flaws and foibles. But the main character in the book, IMO, is the post-apocalyptic New York City. Darkly dystopian with its dimly-lit apartments and shootouts in empty littered alleys, it serves as a perfect backdrop for the good guys' search of justice. The part set in the "migrants' camp" has to be my favorite as the writer uses it to create several vignettes of goodhearted, honest, wholesome people who really add depth and humanism to the book. Well-written without any ten-dollar fluff, it's a good fast-paced read that leaves one rethinking a few things.
