Stephen Greenleaf ended his series... only to bring it back.
Constantine looked like he was ending the series, but brought
in a sub as a protagonist, and the old guy was still present.
I think the temptation to unend an ended series is very
great. That cork doesn't stay put. I do think Willeford
really did want to end the series.
