Stephen's reading of Night Watch is just great! His voices fit the characters, as they appear in my mind!

My husband and I agree with you about Captain Swing. Carcer is such a blatant sociopath, but Swing has had his counterparts in our world who have made life really ghastly! "Insidious" is the right word because people like that have an unfortunate ability to slide into government positions, in a sneaky, weaselly way. (If there isn't such a word as "weaselly", there should be!)
