Buckhorn as the antagonist?
▪Forcing the Express to continue work even though no repairs had been made to the sensors.
▪Trying to put the blame of the fire in the Express on captain Steve when they know the sensors had not been repaired.
▪Sending their tugs to harrass the crew of the Warhorse even after Larry was injured abord the Express.
▪Showing up at Larry's wake to inform Louise that they will fight her claim on the Express.
And many other such examples throughout the book.
In your honest opinion, what was the most antagonistic act carried out by Buckhorn?

Ut what about showing up at Larry's wake to tell Louise that they will challenge her claim on the retrieval of the Express? I mean at the wake of a person who died to retrieve their ship, come on!CatInTheHat wrote: ↑01 Apr 2019, 08:39 Buckhorn's most antagonist act actually occurred in Strong Heart, when they used violence to get their way. In Adrift, I'd say that it was their effort to pin the accident on Captain Steve.

That was what stood out to me.Charlyt wrote: ↑03 Apr 2019, 08:42 I agree that their most antagonistic act was going to Larry's wake to tell Louise that they were going to challenge their claim. Puting the blame on Steve was expected but what they did at Larry's wake, of all times and places, was rude and disrespectful and they planned it to be just that.

Holding out on paying Steve knowing he has a special needs son is another major antagonist checkbox they ticked.

Showing up at Larry's wake to inform Louise that they will fight her claim on the Express.
I mean, come on man, the guy just died. And at the wake? I never liked him anyway since he blamed the crew for the fire. I knew he was a douchebag, but appearing at telling Louise that was just pure a**hol*ry. Ugh, I'm still mad at him but it just shows how good the author was in creating his character.

Buckhorn is a corporation, not an individual character.

Nice correction. They're more like Society of Evil.
