The Hounds of Tindalos - who were they after? SPOILERS
morriswalters:
It could have been Thomas. What would he do if someone offered him a path to freedom, both for him and Justine?
Conspiracy Theorist:
Thomas loyalties are (aside from Justine) the White Court, Harry and his role as a Venator. He is beholden to no one else. Lara didn’t put the arm on him, Harry didn’t, and Lara is his link to the Venatori.
Justines loyalties lie with Thomas, Harry and the White Court. Unless there is some player out there we haven’t seen she would have to be coerced. She was linked with the Red Court but they no longer exist.
Why would either steal secrets for some third party?
morriswalters:
To escape the demon and to quit being a vampire.

--- Quote from: knnn on July 28, 2020, 03:41:50 PM ---I don't think Lara is actually being bugged. I think it's simple human treachery (i.e. Justine stealing secrets). If you will recall, Lara summarily discounts the idea treachery ("has never happened" -- conveniently forgetting about Madeline in Turn Coat). We've already seen Justine go behind Lara's back for Harry/Thomas. Who is to say she isn't doing the same for other parties (possibly with Thomas' knowledge and consent)?

I think the Madeline thing might be another inconsistency in the writing. Sadly the book is riddled with so many of them it's hard to discount them as layered clues. It's perfectly understandable how it happened but it would be nice if such obvious errors were eventually explained, or at least were not present if not intentional. An otherwise enjoyable book loses marks for presentation. But perhaps I am wrong and Jim has a clever way of explaining all his errors. That would be quite incredible and enjoyable.
I agree about Justine though. She definitely does leak to Harry when needed so it's certainly possible that it is to others as well. And if Justine is doing it, perhaps others are too. Thomas has been leaking information for years if you think about it. What's interesting though is that the really big stuff that Lara is up to hasn't gotten out. Thomas only seems to be vaguely aware of Lara's power grab and Justine apparently has no real intel. Lara is clearly aware (like her father) of the cycle. What's curious is that it isn't clear what cycle this is. It can't be the 666 years thing as it's only been 40 odd years since the last one happened. My guess is that something immediately follows the 666 years thing...some sort of conjunction. More on that in another thread.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Just so long as we don’t ger conjunctionvitis
