Appearances of Kaleb/The Ghost in other books of the series? Empty Appearances of Kaleb/The Ghost in other books of the series?

I've finally managed to get my hands of HoO and devoured it within a day. As it is already some time that I have read the other books in the series and would sort of like to read up on Kaleb/The Ghost I was wondering if anybody has a compilation of all the scenes that Kaleb appears in or is referred to over the course of the series or even just references to Kaleb/The Ghost in single titles...

I'm going to re-read StS and try to reference all "Kaleb"-scenes, maybe somebody would be prepared to do it for a different title...

I don't know if this is a stupid idea, but I just feel I would like to read all Kaleb scenes together...

Kaleb does not actually appear until VoH, same with the Ghost I believe. If you have digital copies of the books, you can just search Kaleb or the Ghost to get all the scenes. I did this a bit before reading HoO. Its an easy way to find the scenes quickly.

OK, thanks. I think I need to buy the electronic version of the books (so far I only have the pbs), but I'm new to kindle and haven't tested out any of the functionality, only read a few books with the kindle app on my laptop.

I've finished with StS, in which Kaleb/The Ghost, does not appear. Towards the end of the book Hawke reveals the defection of the Laurens' and Enrique is killed, though no description is given of how exactly that was achieved.

Kaleb is mentioned for the first time in VoH on p. 20 (Berkley Sensation). His name is brought up by Shoshanna as a possible council candidate. It's noted that he is a cardinal Tk (with superb control over his abilities) and that, despite his youth, he has already risen high within the Council ranks.

CassB, he definitely appears in VoH! I think I remember Faith "having to" step down when she's asked to be in the Council because, well a) she's not actually interested in being used by the Council, and b) she's also not interested in being killed by Kaleb, who was the other candidate.

monadh, have you reread the other books yet? /curious

I said he doesn't appear until VoH, meaning VoH is the first book he shows up (ie Kaleb is not in StS). Kaleb is certainly a major figure in VoH.

No worries! I just didn't want you to think I was an idiot, if you actually read this series and don't know Kaleb appears in VoH, you are in trouble Smile

I didn't think you were an idiot! But now I think I'm one. :'D Oh God. This is one of the "I was so stupid, how could I even?" things I'll flashback to when I'm trying to fall asleep, I can sense it.

@Patricia: as long as the first prize is not a straightjacket Wink 
@Elisabeth: I just felt like re-reading the whole series anyway and just made notes. But it made the limitations of an electronic search obvious to me (some people recommended that to identify scenes with Kaleb/The Ghost). But then something like Faith thinking about the oldest and most isolated crack in the shield of the PsyNet which is male and very powerful (BbF 244) and which I think therefore has to be Kaleb would have slipped thru, since there is neither a reference to the Ghost nor to Kaleb by name... Also, when Vasic and Aden save Dorian after he has been shot in the neck (HtP 278) neither of them is mentioned by name...
