I loved this book. I couldn't put it down!

Synopsis: What former philosophy student Parker Hass wanted was a better world. A world both just and safe for his wife and infant daughter.

Huston's latest book is smart, carefully crafted (except for a couple of subtle misspellings that escaped copy editors) and almost too close to reality for comfort, but so relentlessly dystopian and unflinchingly tragic that it is an emotionally draining read. It is on a par with the post-nuclear war epics of the 1980s like "On The Beach," or tales of utter despair like "Slumdog Millionaire" or "Schindler's List" or "A Scanner Darkly" or "Requiem for a Dream.
