And yes I think the mistake was mine.  I should have taken my cue from the cover, but I didn't.  The cover shows a buff guy carting a semi naked woman over his shoulder - and that pretty much sums up this novel:  Sex, rape, strong macho hero, action and shooting, more sex and sexual innuendo.  I could almost have handled this if I had at least liked any of the main characters, and unfortunately  I could find nothing to like about them at all - and I think that is the reason at the 75% read mark I gave up cause I just didn't really care what happened to any of them.The prospective reader should know this is not a Post Apolcalyptic story, It might have a PA backdrop, but that is almost coincidental to the story.  Like many indie novels, this one is is dire need of a proof reader.  But in fairness to the author I think all it would really need is for someone with an eye for detail and a reasonable command of English to just proofread the story - everything could be fixed pretty easily.Also in fairness to the author, I don't think I fit the demographic for the intended readership.  At the risk of making a generalization - I think this novel may appeal to testosterone fueled young men who enjoy war/action stories and who have a pretty basic view of 'womenfolk'.  While I would rate my reading experience of this novel  at a one star, I think the intended audience will probably enjoy the very things about this book that I didn't, I also think there was a bit or originality with some of the story line and for these reasons I think a three star rating is fair.  I think the author has promise and I see he has a few books under his belt - with the right audience I suspect he will go far.
