Pay Evil unto Evil: Much like in the previous book, The Campus some times uses tools and methods that are considered by some to be "evil" against those who would engage in terrorism. | |

Fate Worse than Death: The interrogation of The Emir goes beyond garden-variety torture to a simulated heart attack using succinylcholine. Properly administered, it can be done over and over and over again although once is sufficient to break the Emir. | |

Too Dumb to Live: Most of the people the URC hires, but especially Vitaliy and Vanya, who have witnessed the theft of nuclear material, but still don't figure out that they're loose ends for their employers, even when one of the terrorists comes up to Vitaliy and literally asks him point-blank if there's anybody else around before murdering him. | |
