In a post-American world, where an oppressive global government blankets all of humanity, the entire prison system has been dismissed in favor of an ungoverned region of forced exile. Caustically, it is named the State of Refuge. Amidst violence and anarchy, the convicts within must fend for themselves if they hope to survive. When seventeen-year-old Derek Vaskez is wrongly sentenced there, he finds himself caught up in a conspiracy much larger than he could ever imagine. He alone possesses something that many ruthless people are searching for and would kill to obtain—something so valuable that it could change the entire world as he knows it.
What I have to say about State of Refuge:
David tells a sinister tale of a bleak, dystopian future, but unlike some other books of that ilk, his feels realistic and fully believable. That's probably due to his great attention to detail - from his own made-up orthography to the doubts niggling at the back of his main character's mind, everything is carefully thought-out. The story is a roller-coaster ride of suspense and emotions, with a thoroughly unexpected ending.
