Alright, I just had a brain lock..At the cost of seeming really stupid...Who the heck is Victor? Not Kravos..i don't recall any discussion of his children from Grave Peril...This is bugging me because i recall the description of the children but can't place it...tud
The one who was making the Third-Eye drug?
Hey, here's something about WN which is spoily without ruinning it for everyone...Who's in it?I mean Besides Harry, of course!*G*I know that we have Murph and Molly. I also know that 'Los puts in an appearance but how big a part does Butters and Thomas have and who else is involved (Besides Lash)?tud..thanks for both letting know about ole Vic and not lambasting me about such a lapse..
Okay, I didn't see that this had been mentioned yet, if it has, sorry. At the beginning of Chapter 19 in Proven Guilty, Harry mentions that the Unseelie Accords had taken place 10 to 12 years earlier. I guess that puts Proven Guilty in 2004 to 2006?
Also, while I can't remember if there's any evidence to support this theory, I always assumed there have been more than one set of Unseelie Accords, just like our Geneva Conventions.
Extra datapoint I just noticed, Bob talking to Harry about Kemmler in chapter 3 of Dead Beat mentions that he worked for Kemmler for forty years, which gives us a Kemmler-finds-Bob date of 1921 or so.
George H.W. BushApril 13, 1993: Sixteen suspected terrorists, in the employ of Saddam Hussein's Iraq, smuggled a car bomb into Kuwait with the intent of killing Bush as he spoke at Kuwait University. The plot was foiled when Kuwaiti officials found the bomb and arrested the suspected assassins. Bush had left office in January 1993. On June 26, 1993, the U.S. launched a missile attack targeting Baghdad intelligence headquarters in retaliation for the attempted attack against Bush.Bill ClintonOctober 29, 1994: Francisco Martin Duran fired at least 29 shots with a semi-automatic rifle at the White House from Pennsylvania Avenue, outside the south lawn, thinking that Clinton was among the men in dark suits standing there (Clinton was in the White House Residence watching a football game). No one was hurt and Duran was sentenced to 40 years in prison.George W. BushMay 10, 2005: While Bush was giving a speech in the Freedom Square in Tbilisi, Georgia, Vladimir Arutinian threw a live Soviet-made RGD-5 hand grenade towards the podium where he was standing and where Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili and their two wives and officials were seated. It landed in the crowd 18.6 metres (61 feet) from the podium after hitting a girl, but did not detonate because the red tartan (plaid) handkerchief wrapped tightly around it didn't allow the firing pin to deploy fast enough.[Arutinian was arrested in July 2005 and admitted to throwing the grenade. He was convicted in January 2006, and was given a life sentence.
Remind me again about the young chap at the beginning of "Proven Guilty": was he just summarily convicted without a trial?I know they talked about procedures and stuff: soul-gazes were involved if I recall correctly. Did this not constitute a trial?
“Warden Dresden,” he said. He had the sonorous voice of a trained speaker, and spoke English with a high-class British accent. “If you had some evidence that you felt would prove the boy’s innocence, you should have presented it during the trial.”“I didn’t have anything like that, and you know it,” I replied.“He was proven guilty,” the Merlin said. “I soulgazed him myself. I examined more than two dozen mortals whose minds he had altered. Three of them might eventually recover their sanity. He forced four others to commit suicide, and had hidden nine corpses from the local authorities, as well. And every one of them was a blood relation.” The Merlin stepped toward me, and the air in the room suddenly felt hot. His eyes flashed with azure anger and his voice rumbled with deep, unyielding power. “The powers he had used had already broken his mind. We did what was necessary.”
“You’ve captured a warlock?” the woman asked.“She turned herself in, full cooperation. There are extenuating circumstances around it. I want her to have a hearing.”“A hearing…” the young woman said. I heard paper rustling. “Warden, I’m sorry, but I don’t think we do hearings anymore.”“Sure we do,” I said. “We just haven’t had one for ten or twelve years. Pass word to command and tell them we’ll use the same location, sundown tomorrow.
