*Besides the whole phrase "Rada Loa" in ''White Darkness'', ''Interference Books One & Two'' and ''The Ancestor Cell'' are the only novels that use the term "loa". In ''Deadly Reunion'' they are the "Haiti lot". ''The Adventuress of Henrietta Street'' is referencing recycled historical material from [[Lawrence Miles]]' ''[[Faction Paradox (series)|Faction Paradox]]'' in which he had wrote that Mackandal was said to have become a loa. | |||
