--- Quote from: Conspiracy Theorist on July 17, 2020, 09:45:25 AM ---Marcone will try to mobilise his normal foot soldiers and Murphy will try to mobilise SI/CPD. It is appealing to think of them fighting side by side.
Lara might be able to get the Governor of Illinois to send out the National Guard, to back up CPD.
Mac- there is a good chance the Titan is his wife and he might be able to get to her when others can’t.

Getting the mortal authorities involved in big numbers will stop any chances to keep the supernatural world under cover. So unless everything goes to hell anyway I do not expect the national guard will be involved.

I with those who said Jim should have left it one book..

That would avoid the unfinished feeling I have now but then the publisher would probably put pressure to keep it shorter and we would have missed some material. Now he probably added some things.

I was wondering, what if the good guys made Chicago disappear for a night? I think it was mentioned in the books they another city had gone missing for a little bit, and it had been because of the Sidhe or something. Maybe they would try that again to prevent external (satellite) evidence of the events? They don't have to worry about local evidence with all electronics wiped out.

There was very little to no "padding" of the chapters to be sure, actually I doubt Jim was planning two books in the first place. It feels unfinished, I hope in the end it doesn't come off as merely a plan to make more money by dividing it into two books. I'm not saying that is what happened, but instead of more material being added I feel too much has been left out in this book.

Here comes Jim's own explanation. He could not make it work in one book and keep the price below 50 dollar or something like that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V9am4XyYz4
