I really liked this book a lot.  The premise is something that I can see happening in the near future.I think most of the characters were good.  I really liked the guide that was taking the "rabbits" across the border.  One of my favorite things about the book was the method of crossing the border.  I'll not spoil it for you, but, the method used was not on my top 3 guesses even with several clues given in the first part of the book.  maybe I'm just a bit slow . . .I thought the book would have a different ending, but surprise endings make the read more fun, and depressing in this case.  Funny thing is that nearly all Americans today think that books, movies, etc have to have a happy ending.  Not true!  (Not saying this one does not have a happy ending).  In real life many great stories have sad, tragic, endings.  This is after all a work of fiction out the the authors imagination and a not reality . . . Yet!?My biggest 2 complaints in the book are: 1) that south of the Latitude 38, citizen apparently are allowed to own guns? (A gun shop was mentioned, and a civilian did own a hand gun that he bought from said shop)  With all the other freedoms removed and restrictions applied, I don't see that as even remotely likely in such a future as this book was set.  But that is neither hear nor there.  And 2) a Glock does not have an external safety as the book says.  Just my nit-picking and not nearly enough to lower my overall opinion of the book.  Good Job!  I'll be looking for more from this author.
