I have a question for those of you who have read Cannibal Hearts.
Who is the villain of that book? I’d like to get some discussion on that point because I am not sure if what I was trying to do with it worked.

This is why I hate series. I can’t remember which characters were in which titled book. The Orchid was the third, I think, and that was a villain. There were bad guys chasing James and his girl through a convention in book two, but I can’t call their names.
Cannibal Hearts was the second one, with Agony buying the riverboat and the electric frog gun.
Which one has a guy whose head gets removed by the surgeon. That guy was a bad guy. My head can’t hold all your colorful characters in one basket 😉
Yes, that’s Cannibal Hearts. The biomancer’s name was John Cabot. He was the main threat of the book, but I meant for someone else to be the villain, and I suspect that I was too subtle for anyone to pick up on it.
I’m with Susan – I remember John Cabot being the really nasty one, but I think I know what you’re talking about. Wasn’t the bad guy an entire conglomerate? Or am I mixing it up with The Worms of Heaven now?
I had intended to imply that Godiva’s leaving was related to her involvement with Cabot’s activities, but I think I ended up cutting all of the significant clues.
It’s been too long – if I picked up on them, I’ve forgotten.
Kneejerk conformity, Misha. The true villain as ever was mindless submission to the hollow god of comfortable mediocrity.
This analysis brought to you by a combination of overly pushy salespersons and the need to defrost the fridge.
Because nothing says “conformity” like an electric frog gun.
The electric frog gun was a false flag operation by the Men in Beige. Readers were supposed to believe radical self-expression was a threat.
