SPOILER! - Book's Past Revealed?!

Nay, y'all have it all upsidewards;
Book was high military and in charge of MIRADA PAX PROJECT and when he found out what happened there, he snapped and found comfort in the mission and has tried to do right ever since.

Don't think so.  If he had that knowledge, the Alliance probably would have had him killed.

And they certainly wouldn't have treated him almost like royalty when the Alliance had the whole group in their possession.

Don't think so.  If he had that knowledge, the Alliance probably would have had him killed.

Ah, but what if he was a Parliament operative?  The Alliance would probably not dare to kill him then.

Seen "Burn Notice" yet?  I think Book would be in the same situation, if he was an operative.  Going into a monastery is okay, but don't dare leave.
