Thanks, Mark. Oddly enough, I _did_ consider using Harrek as the big-
bad for the campaign script but as the book developed, it made more
sense to use another 'big name' baddie and leave our favorite bearclad
psycho as a red-herrek.
In the end, I had to conclude that Harrek's just too nasty for any
conceivable Trader Prince House to deal with - the best one could
hope for was a bloody draw or to divert him to your enemies. Hardly
a satisfactory end-note for a campaign.
