The fact that the "bad guy" is in a wheelchair is almost an afterthought. He is a well-written, complex character with a very powerful personality and extremely intelligent. While I do not sympathize with his motives, I can certainly understand his perspective and why he took the actions he did. This bad guy's main assistant is also horrible, but he has no scars or physical impairments of any kind. This is a very well-written, intelligent and suspenseful novel.(less)
