Unwind: Chapter 41 Summary & Analysis

Summary
Analysis
A search party returns from the desert. They didn’t find Emby, but they did find the Goldens’ graves—and they believe the Admiral is responsible, just like Roland said. With Roland and Connor gone, the kids suspect that the Admiral killed them too. A mob of angry Unwinds storms the Admiral’s jet.
These Unwinds have every reason to be angry and suspicious, even if they are wrong. That their anger is understandable reveals the Admiral’s major oversight: he underestimated how incensed and afraid his charges are, and how easy it is for mob mentality to take over and incite violence.
