I know this is already released but it's one I am waiting to get!
I wouldn't really ever pick this sort of book up just because it doesn't look like something I would like. This is when I am glad I do sometimes read a blurb even if it doesn't look like my kinda book, I think this sounds awesome!
Also I haven't read many books by males lately but all the ones I have read I have enjoyed so I can't wait to read this one and find more out about the family.

The Blurb

When Ransom Lawe, a recycler in the Pacific Northwest, finds out his wife is pregnant with their third—and therefore illegal—child, he’s forced to choose between the government who proclaims a desire to save the planet and his hope for a place where his family can live in freedom. But with the Census Bureau Sentinels closing in on his wife and unborn child, Ransom’s choice will either save his family or tear them apart forever.
Abel Keogh offers a stark and haunting look at a not-so-distant future in this chilling new novel. Crossing lines between good and evil, freedom and oppression, and political and environmental responsibility, The Third is a gut-wrenching tale of intense loyalty and unconditional love.
