The Wild Cards authors introduce the series talking about the superheroes and the role playing game that began this series. Eventually they will describe how they look at society, its prejudices, its grievances and its violence. I think when Stephen Leigh next talks about how the series shows these humanistic struggles he should tell them that simply the idea is best expressed in Atonement Tango. Not only will the fans see characters like DB, Finn, and the sleeper but they will see how the story reminds us as human beings we need to teach tolerance, understanding, and forgiveness. It is a struggle sometimes to see our heroes defined by prejudiced eyes. To see them brought down to villainy because of those who do not see the brighter side, or just can not focus on the real picture.
Reading this story the fans learn that sometimes the worst punishment is what we think of ourselves. Great job showing the spirit of the series and giving us the exit stage left of a great character.
