Wow, I feel all mighty. My post made the book jump the queue!

Yeah, you're right, Mark is a little too perceptive only because the plot demands it, and such perceptiveness isn't foreshadowed for him any more than Lindsey's problems. Though I was relieved that for once the woman's Giant Angst was more than the man's. Usually it's the other way around. I was wondering if all the WWII stuff was left over from when Brockmann did those books with the contemporary story running parallel with a WWII story, like if it was one she came up with and couldn't use at the time.

Oh, that's right, I'd forgotten to mention that there wasn't a separate parallel WWII thread. Which is fine with me, I tend to not like parallel stories.

I was going to say that I thought women had Giant Angst more than men in the long-term angst puppet plots in the series, but since I don't actually know how Max/Gina resolves itself, I guess I should wait on that statement.

I quickly skimmed sections of this post-Flashpoint, to refresh my memory about the interactions of the characters introduced there.
