- Will Lisa pull her head out in time?
I think this has been pretty well established. She's gotten a good look at the Team's capabilities, she's seen what can happen to her family if she doesn't take action, and she's got the skills to be a HUGE asset to this new group of people. I see her really falling for Grant all over again and being a perfect compliment to his perspective (they dis-trust different types of people).
- Will Nancy complete her metamorphosis into a demon?
Frankly, I'm surprised to hear that she's even continuing in the story. I was expecting her to take a midling role in the new "Peace Keeper" force and then fade into oblivion as things continue to disintegrate. If she remains a presence throughout the series I don't see her becoming the primary antagonist. Personally, I'm a hell of a lot more scared of Menlow and how he's developing. Personal vendettas are well and good when people are forced to be in the same area, but now that they're all out at the cabin I don't think Nancy has the tools to reach them. Menlow, on the other hand, looks to have far more ambition and resources than Nancy.
- Which of the "good guys" will make a horrible mistake and what will it be?
So hard to tell at this point. If this was any
typical novel you would be 99% confident that a few of the more minor heroes would get a bullet, if for no other reason than just to give the story a crutch through the next handful of books.... but I get the distinct feeling that "Glen" purposely avoided that. I see either a huge surprise (one of the primary protagonists), or (hopefully) nobody ends up dying from a mistake.
Hard to tell with so many characters left to show up. I've got a feeling Special Forces Ted is going to show up with a mixed bag... a few good guys who will add to the Team and a few traitors who will cause some real problems. Between them and the rest of the cabin's neighborhood, there's going to be another 20-50 people inside that perimeter that will all need to come together as a team very quickly before the chaos spreads to them. The checkpoint at the road could be the least of their problems if they've got internal strife and there's other ways out onto the Pointe that Grant doesn't know about yet (trails, boats, etc)...
