It seemed sad at first to learn that the Soapbox is going away. I hate to have something so interesting taken away. But there is a sense of contentment too. I think I can relax a bit now.
True. C James' stories are rich with detail as good novels always are. The details we find in his stories are almost always meaningful, woven into the fabric to have their significance revealed many chapters later.
What other target could there be? Might Trevor have occasion to shoot a witch?
We have all walked by the Red Cross sign in airports indicating where a heart machine is located. Do you know what is in them and how to use it? I did not. Try this video and see what you think. If you pick the wrong choice, the man dies. Choose wisely; you may save a life...maybe mine.

Now we are making progress. At least someone sees the possibility that Grundig is not the only one who may betray another.
What other possibilities are there?
I don't understand why so many readers seem to think Grundig is one of the bad guys. I have seen absolutely nothing in the story that indicates that he is. Just because he has information about Atlantis' location and the fact that Kookaburra was not destroyed doesn't mean he is going to use that information to betray anyone.
Any character in the story could betray any other character. Why pick on Grundig?
It's hard to believe that Alabama ever released that recording. They really are a lot better than that.
Here's one that's not so cheesy...a different take on a classic:

We watch both of the shows you mentioned, James. They are good dramas now, but I fear WL is right. The first time the ratings slip a little, the networks will introduce "personalities" to the cast and ruin the show with a little comic relief.
