Well... I think Joshua has his own set of ethics, which don't always match the letter of the law. Syrinx's entire culture is odd, from our point of view, but I thought it was well-laid-out and self-consistent, as an extrapolation of what a space-faring gene-manipulating human culture might become.

Dexter, as the major villain, doesn't meet his end until the last book. But, it is a fitting end, I thought.

Fitting end would be something out of "Braveheart". I guess I'll have to wait and find out.
