I like the story and I intend to read the rest of the series. However, I don't like the inconsistencies. The basic foundation of the story is worldwide famine. The United States can grow food and other countries want it. Yet, many of the characters smoke. If there is a food shortage, why is growing land wasted on growing tobacco? Worse, he describes a system where anyone who protests the government is thrown in jail. Does it make sense that any government would suppress dissension and at the same time allow farmers to grow non-productive crops during a famine?
