Bought the whole series. Though the kid seemed like a bit of a punk at times.

He’s a trickster and not really a superhero and Coyote is still in many ways a blast of fresh air. While the book seems dates topically it was also ahead of its time, anticipating xtasy although that wasn’t really the intent of the book.

That was Englehart’s intent, of course, but it didn’t quite work.

Scorpio Rose I liked better, but I also found it sort of troubling in that its central conceit was “I was raped, and I have to forgive the guy that did it to move on.” And there was a lot of mitigating circumstances (he was posessed by a demon!). I’m not exactly sure why, but I found that sort of disturbing. Maybe I’m just sick and tired of female heroes whose entire motivational basis is personal violation, not, you know, a sense of justice or a desire to do the right thing.
