Sorry, what was the topic again? Another encounter with what? Hard to stay on topic when I don't know what it is. |

Getting testy, aren't we? Of course I did, it said The Bartimaeus Trilogy, after all. |

Whoa... *backs away from conversation* I was hoping that Nat would encounter Bart again when I started reading GE (hint hint, Dansariki). Didn't really care though. Just kept reading like normal.

Psst. Unless your a pro hacker, it's usually stupid to mess with the admins. But fun anyways.  So just try not to start a big dual.... And though it was strange that Barty didn't encounter Nat, like Hogwarts said, I just kept reading on. The Siege of Prague made me forget about Nathaniel. Pity the siege wasn't described more in detail and expanded. |

Even if I was a... "pro hacker," it wouldn't be worth the time and energy expended. I have a feeling Bart's past exploits will be explored far more fully in a new book, or series thereof. After all, five thousand years is quite a hisory to chronicle. |

yep. nat summoned bart again. he told barti that he was in the list of demons recommended for the american campaign. bart didn't want to go to war, so he agreed to be only a surveillance and a servant for nat for the second time.

Yep. Smart on Nat's part, crap on Bart's. |

As Barty says, the magicians always seem to find a way to stike the djinni. |

I didn't, really. I knew that of course, Bartimaeus would have to return (that's why it's the Bartimaeus Trilogy, duh), but I got the feeling it would be a new master several years later. I'm not sure why, exactly. Maybe because Bartimaeus implies that Nathaniel wouldn't want Bartimaeus around after the rosemary-tin-can thing ran out (he knows his birth name), and because the book ends with Bartimaeus instead of Nathaniel.

I read the back covers of the first 2 books before actually beginning with the 1st book, so I had so no such doubts. |
