Abstract
The science fiction novel ENFORCER BLUES follows cyborg and mob enforcer Gregory Rikard as he becomes involved with a conspiracy on Mars.
Ex-soldier and cyborg Gregory Rikard and his partner Platina work unwillingly for a crime syndicate until a charismatic stranger offers them the chance to rebel in the hope of claiming a better life. But when Rikard steals a dangerous prototype for the rebellion, he’ll be forced to choose between his own interests, the future of Mars, and a single innocent life.
Like Phillip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, ENFORCER BLUES explores the relationship between the biological, the technological, and those caught in the middle.
