Hugo Rune - List of Appearances

List of Appearances

To date, Rune has appeared in the following novels:

• The Book of Ultimate Truths (Primarily behind the scenes)
• Raiders of the Lost Car Park
• The Most Amazing Man Who Ever Lived (Most of Rune's appearances here were that of his evil twins)
• The Sprouts of Wrath (Only a partial role at the conclusion of the novel)
• The Witches of Chiswick (Fakes his own death in the early part of the novel; the plot is thus dominated by his descendents, half-brothers Will Starling and Tim McGregor, both aided by Barry the Time Sprout)
• The Brightonomicon (Accompanied by an amnesic Jim Pooley of The Brentford Trilogy, whose name the character- going by the alias of Rizla, Rune's acolyte, for most of the novel- only recalls at the conclusion of the novel)
• Retromancer (Once again accompanied by Jim Pooley; this novel apparently culminates in Rune's death when Rizla tricks Count Otto Black into falling into the Bottomless Pit to Hell, Rune thus aging and dying as it is now impossible for Black to come back, this 'severing' their pre-existing connection).
• Circus (1928 Charlie Chaplin film where Hugo Rune asks Rizla: "Can you hear me now?" on a cell retrieved from the Bottomless Pit).
