Wrong Side In Review
Wrong Side In Feature
Duncan Long (Antigrav Unlimited, Spider World Trilogy, the Night Stalkers), creates a future where neighborhood snipers pick off salesmen, automation runs fatally amuck, and the resurrected dead walk the streets. Wisecracking hacker Ralph Crocker is in the middle of a bloody turf war between a cyborg named Death, organ-stealing monstrosities, and genetically modified government agents. To survive, he must search dangerous shadow worlds. Befriending Alice (who may be virtual), the two join forces to confront the godlike man who alters perceptions and reality. The battle's outcome changes the future in ways impossible to imagine. New third edition with extensive additional scenes; a fantastic, unexpected ending; witty narrative; skillful plotting. Characters travel from streets worked by automated prostitutes, to an Antarctic tourist trap, to virtual worlds where anything can happen. Science fiction alive and exciting, with a sometimes-troubling view of the future.
