I definitely respect the Things that can happen, judging by previous Things. Odd that that didn't occur to me even when I realized there was, in fact, chronological order to consider (which took me a while - I can't even explain that except that literally all I knew about The Maleficent Seven until I had it in my hands was that people who bought Last Stand of Dead Men also bought it (and who the author is, of course))
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

That which does not kill you should RUN
Is your Maleficent Seven book the hardcover with the pictures on the inside covers of the bad guys (front cover) and good guys (back cover)? I kept flipping back and forth between the text and the covers as more characters were introduced, so I could figure out who was who (some are obvious from the start, of course, like Tanith and Billy Ray Sanguine).

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I don't mind the repetition on the serials because it saves me the fuss and bother of going back to reread the previous chapter.
