3. The Passage, by Justin Cronin

Just started listening to The Passage, which I think is the first in what's going to be (is?) a trilogy. Not entirely sure what it's "about," but I'm pretty darn sure it isn't good. It appears to be set in a near future dystopian US after some sort of war, not yet fully described. Big Brother is at work, with all movement tracked, for reasons not yet clear. The "Government" is testing something nefarious on human subjects. I'd probably get a C if I had to write a book report about it, but it has me mostly riveted, and I'm happy to listen while the plot unfolds. .
