About this listen
A missing comic book genius. An all-powerful hallucinogenic designer drug.
Max Bowman is haunted by both of them - and he just might lose his mind as a result.
When Max takes on the mission to find the long-lost creator of cult superhero Blue Fire, he ends up getting dosed with a chemical that upends his sanity just when he needs it the most. Now he's got to contend with zombies on the Upper East Side, a cult run by a clueless pawn, a hipster rapist who knows her way around a sword, a secret CIA spook program left over from the Cold War, and powerful old enemies who are out to destroy him - all while trying to keep his mind from crashing and burning for good.
Blue Fire's mantra in the old comic books used to be, "For good to be purged of evil...Blue Fire must endure." But now it's Max Bowman who must endure - and he's as far from a superhero as you can get.

In so many ways this is an intensely personal story of a man, his lady love, a mad dog and trying, always failing, to get it right. And it is brutally psychotropic as it meanders through so many circumstances, Max, in the first lerson, attempting to make sense of what is happening, unable to stop it, or himself. Yes, all right, read the book. It's mad, sad and, at times, vio!ent. There's even talk of zombies in the park. All written with a sarcastic good humour. George Kuch, them master of narrating as if person to person, is once again excellent in delivering this emotionally invested first person story with perfect timing and depth, good intonation and individual character voicings. Another fine performance.
Those book is quite dizzying in its convoluted content. Well written and involving, it takes the reader on quite a ride, much of it very uncomfotable. But you have to love That Dog. This is the second in a series and stands alone well. But I must now find book one to read as well as any that come after. My thanks to the rights holder of Blue Fire, who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy. I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it to all enjoying mystery thrillers with a quirky character at the helm. Or who just enjoys listening to Mr.George Kuch tell his tales.
