I hate reruns.  I don't want to see Sue or the Genowskwa.  Has Jim run out of ideas?

Peace Talks/Battle Ground seems to be chocked full of reruns. It's partly a way to show how different the same old threats are to Harry now, showing how much he's grown both in subtlety and power. But I think this is also a transition book like Changes. In Changes, everything changed for Harry. In PT/BG, everything is changing for the world.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Depends on how the recurring characters are used. If the mere re-occurrence offends, so why not take a blue pencil and remove all the Butters, Michael, Sanya Scenes, Marcone, scenes, Carlos scenes, Murphy scenes, Thomas scenes, Eb scenes and Lara scenes from PT.

Sue would be excellent if Harry has to get through the Fomor lines to Ethnui, and a one on one battle with the Genowskwa interesting as Harry has been outmatched physically every time previously.

My only concern abut Sue in BG, is that Ferrovax might get overly attached to her.

morriswalters:
Why kill some one if death isn't final? Either he's got 24 or 25 books in him or he doesn't.

Gigglestomp:
They do have a few things going for them

The Knights can apply balance to fights, making victory possible. Theoretically they could slice up a titan and her power would affect them less than others.Harry had also had a sword for many years and tends to turn up at the right place at the right time. wink wink. And sword is the least important word in Knights of the Sword.

Communication. With the power down communication is limited to magic and word of mouth. The archive has powerful, efficient magic to broadcast and she can recieve messages from anyone with the ability to write. She is also bound to neutrality and I would think - preserving reality. She might also have oblivion war motives.

They know the territory.

Harry has a win the fight ace in the hole

Harry has a bear trap on the island for Ethniu

They have mixed offense. Most of them can kill mortals. Wizards can go ham on the fomor and goddess.

Mother Winter can destroy any enchantment

Harry has less to worry about from the council till this end of times stuff blows over

Marcone is a good community organizer and his people are wise to the supernatural

There are many more actively worshipped gods stronger than Ethniu and Chicago is a pretty diverse place.

Mortals are a bit crafty and some electronics would have been turned off for ethniu's EMP. Its possible some generators will be able to bring certain things back online.

Marcone has a well developed plan for killing supernatural practicioners. It worked on a powerful fomor castor already and was planned to kill Harry. Something like that on a Larger scale could be adapted for the fomor sorcerers.
