Ok, here goes Im new to the board, but am on my 2nd read thru on most of the man's books (more on some), but am focusing on the jack/adversary works. As I just finished taking 2 bar exams I might be reading too much into this, but I noticed in Hosts that the Russian women mentions in Jack's fever state that "all dead except one, and he is too old," now I obviously know who the "one" is, but a) am i reading too much into this, b) did someone come before G (referring to someone in demonsong), c) is she referring to The Twins (I checked Hosts comes after Conspiracies), or d) Am i just parsing words. Forgot to mention before on the above spoiler warning, I remember someone, probably one of the Ladies mentioning that there had been only 1 i.e. G and have not yet read By the Sword, so if Im missing something there...
Thanks

The one the Russian women are talking about is Glaeken.

Don't want to spoil things for you but, in the first age, there was more than one tool of the Ally...I won't tell you where you'll find that out, in order to keep you in suspense.

Axioms Jack seems to live by (inadvertantly or not):
Why he does what he does: "I chose this life. I know what I'm doing. And on any given day, I could stop doing it. Today, however, isn't that day. And tomorrow won't be either." Bruce Wayne, Identity Crisis
On Rasalom: "Water's wet, the sky is blue...and good old Satan Claus, Jimmy...he's out there...and he's just gettin' stronger." Joe Hallenbeck, The Last Boyscout
