        Getting a peek into the charactor's philosophical preferences and education/intellect is interesting. I enjoy how Ellison weaves in the story the biblical apocolypes and doing battle with the cyborgs. The side plot gives the hint that he knows there is metaphyiscal/physical, supernatural/human war developing and the apocolypes gives him an insight to that knowledge. It is clear the charactor also draws comfort, strength, and guidence from his spiritual relationship. I suspect if we could see Ellisons' educational background we would find he has theology minor with his law degree (most all FBI special agents have law degrees) with a good deal of his free time spent furthering the cause of his church/religion. Anyway, it make the charactor interesting where as the Connors' and the uncle are warriors thru and thru. Hopefully John's character will develop into a person who appreciates history and great leaders who make that history.
