Not a current song that you'd be likely to hear, but an odd song, like "Blue Skies," or the Beatles' "Get Back." Later that day, or the next day, I'll hear that song in an equally odd place, like Pizza Hut. It's happened so many times, it's a mystery to me. Maybe someone is trying to send me a message -- or maybe I'm just in tune with the universe!(less)

Bren is a blond, blue-eyed white Earthman, who is the translator for the ruler of the ateve people. Jago is a very tall, black, golden-eyed ateva and is Bren's bodyguard. She's taller, stronger, and doesn't say very much. I really like the role reversal! Their relationship continues to progress throughout the series. (less)
