And I was especially tickled by the scene with Mr. Rosen's nephew. I got a huge grin on my face reading those pages.
Good for you! I admit I was stumped.
Thanks for the tip.

I finished Secret Vengeance about two weeks ago, and had a nagging question:
What did the broken pyramid prison hold at one time? I figured it was a rakosh, perhaps. I don't believe there was ever a clear answer to this one, but I would be curious to know others' opinions or insight concerning this topic.
Quote:And speaking of 'rakosh,' I wonder if it would have ever made a difference with Jack's high level of oDNA when he was battling the rakoshi in the past? I wondered if they could sense his 'otherness' and perhaps perceive him as a less tasty treat than other humans with little to no oDNA?I don't think so. The Mother Rakosh was relentless in her pursuit of Jack, and in the last scenes in ALL THE RAGE, Scar Lip recognized Jack as the one who saved him from being tortured when he was in the cage.
