Well kiddies,I took it upon myself to re-read ALL the Ghostwalker series(Yes, all 8 of them -so far!) and I can't help but notice the female character here (Iris 'Flame' Johnson) is sooo like the female character from novel #2 (Dahlia Le Blanc from Mind Game). Hey, at one time Iris notices the 'scorch marks' in the windowsill of Gator's cabin, which were made by Dahlia in the previous book. The two novels are pretty much an internal story arc: both are set in the Louisiana Bayou, both involve the 'girls Peter Whitney hated', both bring awesome-powered-paranormal-mega-soldiers-who-are-otherwise-noted-for-their-cool-under-fire-demeanor to their knees with emotional entanglements, and both end with the wedding bells. On the other hand, we learn the real fate of the dastardly evil Dr. Peter Whitney! At a moment it is mentioned that part of the GhostWalker team have seen sent to help Ken Norton, whose story is seen at Deadly Game(novel #5). When you get to Street Game (novel #8), that female character is in computer cahoots with Iris 'Flame'.
All this is particularly good to establish the continuity of the world where these people move.
It is very intersting the pseudo-science behind Gator's and Iris' "superpower", but I have got to say that human vocal chords are NOT designed for those frequencies...but then, I utterly loved Dazzler from the X-men in the 80's, so this is not much of a stretch for me.
