She is indeed Olivia. In the case that Saber is killed off in Last Light, then we'll have had that spoiled for us a year in advance which would be rather... well, rubbish, really. Considering it's murder mystery novel, I reckon they probably will. *shrugs*

Nobody ever said the Catalog was perfect.

And seeing as how it's refused to change or elaborate on it's original statements about Saber, I'm sure 'Last Light' will give us a proper explanation for them being marked KIA in 2553. And even with that knowledge in mind ahead of time, we don't have the whole story as to what that's all about - which makes the series of events leading up to it still potentially very interesting and worthwhile.







I'm not denying that the novel won't be great regardless of foreknowledge of Saber's fate if it comes to pass that they are indeed going to be killed off, but I very much hope that the novel gives them their due because they were largely cast aside in Glasslands (which is one step above Jerrod being thrown in canonical limbo, at least) and we've heard next to nothing of them since.Essentially, I don't want another Black Team to be pulled where we have this great cast of unique, interesting, and racially diverse characters to just get dropped. So the onus is on Mr Denning to deliver for those characters, and I have every confidence that he will.
