References to current fashions and music are made in a way that doesn't intrude into the story and shouldn't date too quickly either.

If Dax continues with his quest to find out more about his mother he could be leaving his friends in danger. A: I got the idea for Unleashed from my earlier series, The Shapeshifter, which had done very well and has a strong fan base.
