It turns out that this is a trilogy (or at least is going to be as soon as he publishes the third one). After reading the second one, I had to revaluate the first one a little. I still don't think it was all the wonderful a book, this wasn't top of my recommendations list either for that matter, but I understand a little more about what Resnick was trying to do in Volume 1.

In The Widowmaker we see Jefferson Nighthawk thrust in to the world with only the most basic of personality, with only the experiences of a two month old to draw on. In Volume 2 we see with his full personality in tact (such as it is). The second clone has all the experiences of the original, complete with all the memories. We get to see a little more about what it might be like to deal with the issues of Who Am I if he is me and I am him. But do to the characters natural reticence we never really get to see to deep into the mind and thoughts of the lead character. It will be interesting to see what Resnick does in Vol 3.
