“Oh, like Conquest from the Toronto segment from the Maggie Holt series!” Lookout said, all excitement now that she was back in the conversation. - excerpt from Gleaming 9.12</ref>

Victoria Dallon had watched the movies, but considered them bad.<ref name="4.4e1"/> She also read the books as a kid, but didn't remember them very well.<ref name="8.4e1">[Kenzie] reached for a book at the edge of her workstation, checked it front and back, and tossed it to me.
A novel of the sort that was aimed at young adolescents. It was one I’d read a long time ago, but had largely forgotten. I remembered more of the movie of the same name.
Examining it, I found the circle of the ‘o’ in word ‘Holt’ on the spine had been colored in black. The book opened and closed, with nothing shaking out of it.

Behind the Scenes

Maggie Holt is a character from one of Wildbow's other works, Pact.<ref>Maggie Holt - Pact Wiki</ref> Many of the details line up with that story - although Maggie Holt is a side character in the real-world story, not the protagonist (nor have they been made into films, as of yet.)
