Alex is a character from The Awakening and The Ascension. My initial plan for SB3 didn’t included many of the characters that survived the events of SB2.Â
But it made sense given Alex’s background for him to be a direct connection to Heven in their attempt to get info so this scene was born. I’m not sure if it’ll make into the final novel, maybe and there’s a lot more to get added to it.Â
