Auk, harmless? The man does harm by trade.

Yes, this is unsettling. As are some other things - do you remember the talk some time ago about Wolfe's treatment of female characters?

> PS - (Silk kills Jahlee there, that's why it is so emotionally bizarre. Nettle knows that the man who has come back is not her husband anymore)

That I do not know. They know he isn't Horn because his body is Silk's and his personality likewise - in fact the only reason he can get anyone to entertain him as Horn is because he has all of Horn's memories. But I can very well see Horn being ruthless when needs must.
