4.5 Very Good!
My only real complaint was that there was no mention of how boring the winter must have been or what Jake did during his repeated quarantine times. It also annoyed me that Jake's name wasn't cleared! I know in a "perfect world", they would have believed him in the end- but with it not being a perfect world, it made sense to run. But it irked me. I kept waiting for Wilson to find them and tell Jake that he'd convinced them what ungrateful jerks they were being so they could go back to Hope. This ending was probably more realistic, but I was indignant on Jake's behalf.
Also noticed that there was no mention of Erikson's other sons, who I'm pretty sure were mentioned as being in the car with him. ?
Editing was much better...but still needs a lot of work! Again, Nate, if you are reading this, I volunteer! No charge!
Unfortunately, there is another book in the series. I'd planned on being extremely productive today. But I don't see that happening now. Im off to Alaska!
