This is an exciting action-packed read. It is more like an alternate world (with dystopian elements) but in present time. I really enjoyed it! And I look forward to the next though I was satisfied with how this one wrapped up.

I really tried to get into this book and I did get past page 150 but I was confused about what was happening, A special group in the DAR are on the lookout for John Smith--because he is a terrorist? because why? what is the story supposed to be about?

It reminded me of the short-lived SyFy show 'Alphas' which was cancelled after one season.

I managed to get through part 1-Hunter, but when I got to part 2-Hunted I just couldn't go any farther because I thought it was getting on the ridculous side and it still had over 300 pages to go--whew too much wading through the confusion of the story let alone reading page after page of descriptions of someone being on the run to get inside the terrorist group? nope not for me!
