Yes indeed. Riggs is a bit like another Mickey, or even another
Bigfoot: you assume he has to be an angel of, if not death, then at
least deep shit. And yet.
FWIW, Riggs has the funniest name in the book, for me. And that
"without warning, he blurted" I'm into Zomes was so unexpected and
laugh-out-loud funny.
