More of Gage’s character gets developed in the second book than in the first. I loved some of the “secondary” characters in Final Target particularly Professor Blanchard, Ninchenko, and Alex Z. Will we see more of these people in the subsequent Graham Gage books?Alex Z. will continue. In real life, no investigator can know everything he needs to know. I’ve always had an Alex Z. in my office.Some people like Ninchenko are based on the people responsible for my security detail on trips to the Ukraine – that outlook on life, the weariness, living in a society where nothing is true for very long.In real life, investigators are not lone eagles. They depend on people, sometimes good, sometimes not so good. Is there anything I haven’t asked that you would like to put out there?[Laugh.] I’ve probably said more than I know.
