This startling new novel by Albert Wendt takes the form of a fast-moving allegorical thriller. Who are the all-powerful Tribunal and President? Who are the Hunters and the Hunted, and the allies from the depths of the city? Set in a future New Zealand where only the Citizen who asks no questions can achieve happiness, a renegade hero seeks to rescue his family in the State-sponsored Game of Life.
I thought this book was pretty cool, it had the whole "future with no privacy or real reality" plotline like The Matrix or 1984. The story was great and the writing was excellent, but the names were a little hard to read and I thought the ending was bad. The book's ending was so up in the air that it might as well have not been there. but other than that the book was exceptional and I recommend it to anyone who liked The Matrix or 1984.
