Remember that The Devil in a Forest is an earlier work, and also a 
juvenile (as Pirate is for young adults). Also, remember that Wolfe 
has always written transformative homages to other writers, and in a 
lighter vein (as Evil Guest): I think of the early Big Fat Robot Nero 
Wolfe detective stories. At the same time, I don't think a writer 
nearing 80 is going to embark on a project as immense as the New Sun quartet.
