This story is a unique and strange alternate history story - JFK is in his third term, federal agencies have been created for the sole purpose of drugging vets, and deranged psychopaths running around violently murdering people. One of the main charcters, Rake is one of the creepiest nastiest characters I have come across
The book requires careful reading as there are lots of small details - fsuccessfully-enfolded vets are meant to be sent back into action, implying that this government administration has no real interest in ending the war at all.
However, I just didn't enjoy this book - I found it too weird.
I also found the 3 main story lines confusing : the storyline featuring Rake, the storyline with the Corps agents, and finally Eugene’s story. While they were all tied up at the end of the book, I didn’t feel it was enough pay off for the struggle early on in the book.
