		The book mostly focuses on Bean and Petra and their running away from Achilles, convinced he is going to murder Bean for wrongs he committed (All are Achilles killings are people who have made him vulnerable).
		The USA isn't the focus of all the political force that is affecting the world, but merely a reactor to other more powerful countries (which is odd for an American writer to do).
