I was at a used bookstore and found a copy of Nightkill. Anyone read it? Is it a standalone book, or does it tie into RJ's world at all?

Yes, I read the back of the book. That doesn't tell me if it relates to anything else the good doctor has written...

The bad news for Brits is that it is not a remake of the classic Tony Hancock/Sid James sitcom.

However it does look pretty good and the UK premiere happened last night.

Check out this picture, taken before they'd finished setting everything up.

Brings a whole new definition to Big Willy Style. :xd:

I guess there are spoilers for "The Tomb" also....scroll down




























I've read both recently and I noticed a kind of connection. In "The Tomb" Kolabati explains to Jack that there were stories long ago about humans mating with the Rakoshi. And in "Bloodlines" it is mentioned that whatever caused the oDNA parted from the human time line a long time ago and was incorporated back in it. Could mating with Rakoshi in the first age be directly responsible for oDNA? (we've seen what happens when Rakoshi blood is taken as a drug ie. "All The Rage") I know this is an odd question but it would explain the origins of oDNA.

Some books and even video games ( it might have been the silent hill series) have taken fictional books from their series and printed them in limited editions.

So I was thinking once the Jack saga is wrapped up how cool would it be to get a few artists together and publish a limited signed edition of the Compendium of Srem, leatherbound and all.

It would cost a pretty penny but i am sure almost every RJ addict would have to have one. I know I would.

Hello everyone,

Although I have been reading FPW and visiting this site for a while, this is my first post.

The first RJ novel I read was Hosts and from that point on I was hooked, buying up any FPW titles I could find. Even going so far as to reread the series forwards and backwards multiple times trying to find all the connections I could. They never get old and I am always pleased to find a tidbit of foreshadowing that I had previously missed.

I recently finished Secret Histories and have inklings about cross references and wanted to check the Cross Reference chart but it hasn't been updated since Gateways. I was wondering if this was something that was going to be updated to reflect the current titles by FPW or if there will be an overhaul of the chart when all of the RJ books are complete?

Anywho, can't wait to get my hands for Secret Vengence and By the Sword!

Just saw this and enjoyed it. If you're a fanboy (or fangirl), there are SO many in-jokes and references (to the TV series and other Marvel comics) you'll enjoy it on that basis alone (including a huge moment at the very end.)
Norton is great, as is Roth. The FX are not bad, you get more of a sense of weight on the CGI Hulk than in the first one. The opening chase in the Favela in Rio is very good, as are the other setpiece battles. A big relief after seeing the first one.

And hey, Rickson Gracie teaches Banner some Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in it!

Today was the opening day of two movies, Juno and Eastern Promises.
So.....today I saw Eastern Promises. I am Cronenberg fan.Confusedmilewinkgrin:


Honestly, at first I thought this is not like Cronenberg's film. But the fighting scene in sauna, that bloody violence was definitely Cronenberg's taste. When I saw Viggo stabbed Chechen gang's eye with knife, I cowered. It was very realistic. One thing I was surprised Russian mafia didn't use guns. They use only knives. When they kill the enemy, they cut throat. Gosh....It reminded me of Sweeney Todd without musical.



To me, Cronenberg's best film is Scanners. How 'bout you?

Ok, picked up Gateways (my 1st Jack) the other day.....read it in one sitting. Went to my local Borders and bought every Repairman Jack book they had!

Have now finished that stash and am looking for more. Haven't yet been able to track down CONSPIRACIES or THE HAUNTED AIR at one of my local stores as of yet...but have a couple more to visit.

Meanwhile, picked up the only other FPW book my Borders had.. Midnight Mass. Loved it as well, and have now hooked my husband on FPW as well.

Met FPW in Phoenix at the 1st ThrillerFest, before I had ever read him. Had him autograph my copy of Thriller. It was that book that sparked my interest in the Repairman..reading his short story INTERLUDE AT DUANE'S. I'm just sorry it took me two years to followup!!

Have been to two ThrillerFests, as a fan/reader only. Love being able to meet the writers I love to read. Skipping this year's since 1) location is a repeat, and 2) it was very expensive.

Hoping next year's is somewhere else other than NYC (don't get me wrong, I LOVE NYC and my hubbie has family there so we go at least once a year). Just like to combine visiting a new city with meeting my favorite writers!

Lee Child's Jack Reacher drew us to the 1st two ThrillerFests, and I'm "hoping" FPW will be attending next year's, as I would like to meet him again now that I've come to love his Jack as well.

That said, I am more of a lurker than a poster...so will only pop up occasionally, if at all. Just wanted to thank you F. Paul, for your body of work. Have loved all I've have read so far and can't wait to read the rest!

Is there anyway you can put up some baby clothing with the RJ logo and Isher Sporting goods logo?

My son just turned six months old and is still without any RJ gear.Sad

How can you say no to this face?
