Talk about a to read to put you to sleep, way to slow for my liking. DNF.

Awesome setting, premise, and plot with mediocre characters. The sociopolitical themes and premises are the trilogy's appeal.

This book is scary and quite visionary on so many levels. This book came out in 2006, but it is eerie when you take a look at the maps in the front of the book at what the United States has become.
When you take into account recent events that have been occuring in our country, Ferrigno's "thriller" takes on a whole new meaning. It is not so far fetched as we at one time thought it would be.
If you are looking for a possible snapshot at our future, read this book. It along with Dan Simmon's Flashback will scare the H E double hockey sticks out of you. Plus they are good reads.

This book seems even more prophetic given the rise of ISIS and other Islamic terrorist groups. An interesting array of characters, particularly the consummate assassin foil of Darwin. I'll definitely continue reading the rest of the series.
