and a rogue cop's desire to avenge the murder of his partner. Green's style has been described as "quiet" and "restrained". The St. James Guide to Science Fiction Writers contends that his "science fiction is quintessentially Canadian, with its graceful focus on characterization, its rhetorical understatement, its placing of characters in a complex social environment, as well as its refusal to explore technology for itself alone." Personal life and current In 1968, Green married Penny Dakin, whom he divorced in 1990; they have two sons, Conor and Owen. He married Merle Casci in 1994, with whom he has one son, Daniel. Green has retired from teaching English at East York Collegiate Institute, where he worked since 1968, and now teaches creative-writing part-time at Western University (London, Ontario, Canada).
