While 2005's The Midnight Recollections served as an introductory sampling of Gordon's short story work, this new collection of mostly novellas and novelettes delves specifically into the dark, the introspective, and the surreal. Most of the material presented herein comes in the form of rare and unpublished gems sharing similar themes of societal idiosyncrasies. The Reformed Citizen could be classified as "social science fiction" - with a devious twist. As usual, Gordon's ideas are potent and varied, unabashedly frank, his characters well-developed. Included in this volume: Distributed Logic; Line 43; The Ninth Life of Vincent Ngu¥ A Whisper from the Mirr Fogy; The Path Between; Arrival. NOTE: For mature readers; contains sexual/violent content.
