“I love the cowboy, dinosaurs, spaceships. The plus in this book was Annie and Lone Wolf.” From a recent review of On the Rocks.
Wolf is interesting in that, while a very giving guy, he is also an unrevealing guy. Wolf has a verbal brevity, known in the books as Injin shorthand. He doesn't like to talk, but when he does, everyone better pay attention. His words are short, often gruff, but important. Even lifesaving.
He puts a lot of faith in dreams, especially Annie's, which she totally doesn't believe in. Her's is more a cut and dried world of facts and logic. She tends to only believe in that which she has personally experienced.
It makes for a good byplay, Wolf's belief that Annie has prophetic dreams and her's that prophetic dreams don't exist. Although Wolf seems to be making inroads into her consciousness over time, Annie's firm belief in coincidence appears to be being eroded by more and more dreams becoming reality. Is Annie actually prescient? I don't know either.
