Taioseach Bellisarius has to be one of the most terrifying villains I’ve seen in modern fiction. He is pragmatic, not chasing his quarry to the ends of the earth. And the focus on logistics! Most villains go after friggin landmarks and crap! This dude knows what he’s doing. The orbital mechanics on his plan ain’t perfect, but can be fixed with a couple of booster rockets.
Amateurs study tactics, but this author studies logistics. Kudos to you, sir.
The thing that got me was how few villains don’t. It would be terrifying if you ever actually had someone who wanted to tear everything down and actually knew what the hell they were doing.
