: OK, at a guess, many of you are Kirth Gersen fans. I am. So, for fun, who is the least likeable hero/heroine?
: My vote: Beran Panasper - Languages of Pao (I was rooting for Lord Palafox), followed closely by Roy Barch - Slaves of the Klau (too bitter and twisted).
Interestingly, from the point of view of the origins of Vance's names and what his personal tastes in reading matter are, Palafox was a notable Spanish military commander during the Napoleonic wars.
