Chaos Walking trilogy[]
The Knife of Never Letting Go[]
Tam is the first man with Noise that Todd and Viola meet outside of Prentisstown, and is symbolically important to Todd's and Viola's relationship because it assures them that Viola will not die from the Noise (as had been assumed until that point in the book).
