On re-reading the series for the umpteenth time, I notice something interesting:
Garrett seems to have a remarkable knack for being at the right place at the right time...both apparently a magnet for pivotal events and a catalyst for same.
Make you wonder if Garrett does not himself have a (previously unrecognized) piece the the magical gift himself...Garrett may turn put to be not entirely as different from Strafa and her family as he might prefer to believe...
Um, I could be wrong here, but in Angry Lead Skies, didn't one of the aliens say that he had a bit of psychic power? Nothing at the level of The Dead Man, but enough to explain how he attracts women? Even (as his former general notes) in the middle of a swamp? It's been a while since I read it - but I could swear there was something like that in that book. Richard
