"It was a dark and stormy night."  A few pages into this book I pictured Snoopy on top of his dog house repeating the worst sentence ever written.Seriously, this book is boring.  On the bell curve of show vs. tell storytelling, this book is pegged at the extreme tell end.  I'm a third the way into the book and I'm going to finish it, just because I'm waiting to be told how one particular character gets out of an interesting predicament.The editing is good, but not excellent. Weren't for wasn't, that sort of error. Then the author's word choice is off at times - what the heck dos it mean that the streets of L.A. were decimated? One tenth went missing, or only one tenth had damage?The character introduction and development is, with a single exception, nearly non-existent.  And for that sole character I will finish this p-poor of an excuse for a novel............I've finished the novel. An annoying habit of this author is to desribe an assembly of two of something as 'couple.'  A couple sticks, a couple grenades, a couple MREs, etc...  I'm accustomed to reading the preposition "of" when a writer is describing an assembly of two of something. Even during speech I'm accustomed to hearing the preposition expressed as 'uh' - a coupluh sticks, written as 'coupla.'
