It was Ok, kept me interested, but disappointed by the ending, a letdown.

[Warwick]

Read twice, 2014 and 2020. A reasonable read. Most of Bill's (the hero) action packed progression are up there on the unbelievable scale for this type of tail. The depiction of sections of the population being manipulated by self serving politicians, and racial/cultural differences was more realistic.
