A novel of the near future.
Mitch Helwig is a renegade on the street with some heavy-duty hi-techh weaponry and a not quire sane determination to get revenge...even if he has to go beyond death to do it.
Green isn't the sort to flit among a thousand little ideas. He takes a couple of startling big ideas and develops them wonderfully well. His vengeful cop, Helwig, is a moralist in a Phil Dick world: no wonder he goes over the edge.
From Library Journal
In early 21st-century Toronto, ex-policeman Mitch Helwig tracks down his partner's killer. Except for some high-tech weapons and the medical breakthrough of reviving dead people for a maximum of four weeks (known as the "blue limbo"), very little of this book could be considered science fiction. It's more like one step into the future for Joseph Wambaugh. This crime thriller will appeal to fans of Sylvester Stallone's futuristic movies. Recommended for crime fiction and sf collections.
