I haven't seen /Yojimbo/ or /Fistful of Dollars/, but as
I recall /Red Harvest/, it has a similar feel to
/Jhegaala/--goodish guy walks into town and everyone in
sight turns out to be a bad guy just waiting for his
appearance to start slaughtering each other. I can't
remember any similarities in the plot, though. I
don't /think/ the Continental Op got captured.
Stop me if you've heard or said this before. (I didn't
read /Jhegaala/ till last month, so I skipped all the
posts about it.) Isn't it strange that the priest of
Verra acts much like a Christian clergyman? Vlad
points out that a priest of Verra shouldn't be so
ostensibly kind and gentle. This made me wonder
whether Steven was borrowing the plot from some source
that had a Christian clergyman, either from some real
(very bizarre) incident or from fiction.
