Occasionally, you'll wonder if something has been introduced simply so that Jackson Lamb can be politically incorrect about it. Reece Nesmith III is a gay American dwarf: I couldn't spot any plot reason for his having achondroplasia but it does give Lamb the opportunity to make some offensive comments. Perhaps the least offensive is to tell people not to worry about what they say in front of him as ''it'll all go over his head.''
Oliver Nash is still head of the Limitations Committee: ''every Joe's nightmare: a career bureaucrat with an operational veto.'' This might be the reason why Lady Di chose to go off the books with her operation: even Oliver Nash can't stop something of which he's not aware. The source of the funds was Damien Cantor , head of a rolling news channel, who's about to think he's done more than donate money to a good cause.
The characters we know and love are all there. River Cartwright is still mourning the loss of Sidonie Baker. Roddy Ho's still a wizard with a computer but as un-self-aware as ever and Catherine Standish is still trying to keep things running without resorting to alcohol, no matter how much Lamb tries to tempt her. Lech Wicinski would prefer to be called Alec but it's a moot point as no one speaks to him. His face still looks as though it lost an argument with a cheese grater. Yes - you know exactly what you're getting.
