There's no real answer for that. The five principal characters in the trilogy have been with me for about fourteen years. Their world and the plots surrounding them have gradually built up over time.

Hello Matt. Re - Reading Active Measures part 1, something came to mind. Nina Davenport. Driven, dedicated case officer. She is a realistic portrayal of a modern day spy. My question, was she intended to be a foil for Carrie Matherson of Homeland fame? Carrie is everything Davenport isn't. Gifted but horrific and unfit for her job and the sort of person most intelligence services would not touch with a barge pole.

Hello Matt, in this day and age of contemporary spy/geopolitical fiction, the henchman gets a short shift. But in your stark, realistic geopolitical thriller devoid of Bond like trappings, you made an entire stand - out unit of henchmen for one of the characters, "Team Beowulf". How did they come about and what ideas did you throw around developing their characterization?
