Hello Mr. Korman,

I recently was reading your newest book, Faker, and the family called the Zabrachian's name stood out to me. I am aware you are a fellow Geek, commonly referencing Star Trek and Star Wars. And in the Swindle series, Darren's last name is Vader.

I might be overthinking, but could the Zabrachian's last name be a longer form of the word Zabrak, which is the species of Darth Maul from Star Wars, or is it a coincidence the words sound similar?
Many thanks,

Ember.
