Further insights as we delve into more parts of Chapters 1, 2 and 3. Today our topics include:

The original opening lines of this novel

Further discussion on the momentous pronouncement at the end of Chapter 1

The new characters that Chapter 2 and 3 introduce, both historical and fictional

How Frank uses his people skills to navigate through these new personalities

A careful discussion about certain religious sects and the danger of lauding faith over logic

And furthermore, discussion on the dangers of this new world that come from within, rather from without, like the wendigo.

Chapter 2 is a breath of fresh air after the intensity of Chapter 1, and help set the stage for things to come in this book and beyond. It's one of my favorite parts of New Century to revisit, so we get into it with gusto.
