You could be right, Steve, but I'm not so sure. I could see Cliff being a little tired of Jerry...not that any weariness was apparent in his writing. But an author can carry a bad guy only so far. When you get right down to it, the Scar was a one trick pony. Nuclear detonations for fun and profit...that's it. That's all that Jerry ever did. Anything and everything revealed in the two stories that Jerry did...charity fundraisers, motorized wheelchair for a critically ill boy, logistics management for Instinct...all that was to further his acquisition of nuclear weapons and extortion of the US government.
I say good riddance and suspect CJ may feel the same way. Why don't you take a couple of pills and get back with us in the morning. Just kidding; hope you are feeling better.
