That's nice, Mike. We're all entitled to our opinions about what an
author's sympathies might clearly be. Now how about you try defending
those nice opinions with the book. All you've provided here to support
your claim are notes picked off the internet and out of the P-L
archives. Very disappointing.
More than one Betrayal in this novel is occasioned by Frenesi. However,
this book is full of Betrayals and Frenesi has little or nothing to do
with most them.
How about Sasha? Hub?
