This is being offered on eBay UK (link above). AFAIK there was never a DVD published so I am assuming that this is a burned VHS. The picture quality alone must be awful, never mind the content.

Comments anyone?

Hello, it's dejo, long-lost member. I've wanted to post a picture of this neighborhood entrance sign for a while now but didn't get a chance to take a decent picture of it until recently. This is south of Sedalia, CO on the CO-105 (a.k.a. Perry Park Rd).



Has anyone else encountered a location that is totally out of context but still reminds them of F. Paul Wilson and/or one of his works?

I just finished watching the first season of "Bosch" on Amazon Prime Instant Video -- I came away from that series thinking that it was the perfect template for exactly how Repairman Jack should be brought to the screen.

Forget feature films -- RJ needs to be a television series just like Bosch.

Rather than solve a crime every episode, like most TV police procedurals, with Bosch, they combined two of Connelly's novels into a storyline that threads its way through the season's ten episodes. So you have the main character working on two cases that might be related, deftly woven among subplots involving his girlfriend, his daughter, politics inside the police department, and the city's mayoral campaign. So there's a richness and depth to the story telling and character development that you just don't have time for in a feature film. This is what "The Killing" was trying to do, but failed.

Can people recommend some good podcasts?

I recommend: Serial, This American Life, Radiolab, Invisibilia.

Round #3 through the Secret History continues, and I have another question:
Is there any connection between the Zalesky in the early Jack books and the Zalesky in Conspiracies? Sorry if this has been asked before.

Just want to say I thought it was a great book. His IV was clever, particularly since the victim would likely loose all sense of time, it would likely seem to last forever.

Using the term Mohammedans was pretty clever as well. To me it pegged the time as mid 1960's, when Ginsberg came out with "Howl."

Apologies if this has been asked and buried within a thread. I did a search, but so far it's looking like FPW has not done any of his own recordings. I assume it would be an exhausting process, so I could certainly understand why not.

Does anyone find any voice artists of any of the books particularly good/exciting?

BTW, I am new here, so--greetings, everyone!

...that received FPW's approval that I've recently enjoyed are The Worricker Trilogy and Phoenix Island.

The Worricker trilogy are films starring Bill Nighy as a British spy. I have actually only watched the first two and both are excellent intellectual thrillers. Nighy has fast become one of my favorite actors and he doesn't disappoint in these and they also boast exceptional supporting casts.

Phoenix Island by John Dixon is an intense YA thriller about a kid sentenced to a boot camp type island with some seriously psychotic drill instructors. Fans of RJ will find a lot to root for in the story's protagonist Carl Freeman.

So this morning my daughter tells me you, FPW, made her cry. She'd read the first couple of chapters in the 'Then' section of Reprisal and wept at the fate of Bill's parents and told me, "F. Paul is a magician. In just a few pages he made me care about someone's suffering that it made me cry." I said yep.

She has read the YA trilogy and wanted to know what the worst thing you had written was so I steered her there.

Hey guys,

Long time no see!
I just finished Fear City, greeeeat book! But I forgot how brutal some scenes could be in the books, hui. That Living Hell shit is really frightening... But also an ''interesting'' idea, what a torture that must be... Do people know of real life experiences? Is this sort of a "known" procedure? How long can people still live like that? I'm thinking about that stuff quite often at the moment, and every time I'm shaking :eek:

Sad it's now over, but I just realized I still can read the Young Adult ones, haven't done that yet.

But all that was not part of my question, this just came out when I started this thread :p

It's really a very long time ago since I read the first RJ books like Legacies etc., so I must admit I forgot a lot and should probably read those books again and perhaps my question is stupid. But in Fear City I was hoping to learn how Jack meets Gia. When I ended the book I was (and still am) a little disappointed. So, did I forget that stuff? Do I have to re-red the old books (ofc I have to, dumb question )?

Thanks guys and Paul for those great great books!

A warm greeting from Hamburg,
Manuel
