This is a longer book, past gritty through cynical, landing somewhere between bitter and angry. Lots of wasted lives, and lots of international bad neighboring. A slim ray of hope is a couple of people manage to get themselves clear of the violence, maybe a little out of the mud. Well written, with a gallows humor twisting the turns of phrase.
