** But then book 5 reveals [[spoiler: that while the hideout was attacked, he lied about the casualties in case the Elgen were wiretapping]].



* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Michael and Ostin would say "Bones" as a catchphrase for when something cool happened to them. After book 2, that phrase seems to have been dropped. The characters also tended to use more childish insults towards their enemies. As the series progressed, there would be more PG-level profanity. In the first book, Jack was seen smoking a cigarette. However, since then, he's never been mentioned smoking.
