12/13 - Collaborating with a Brit (Sara Pinborough) is fascinating: both writing in English but the same words have divergent nuances and even different meanings. Take "sod" (the verb), for instance: In the US you do it to your front yard. In the UK, it's something quite other. Same for the noun.

Just finished Dark at the end. i thought that was gonna wrap up Jack. where do i go from here? i read all the r/j sereies. i' m getting ready to start secret series. i have books 2 & 3, i'm waitng for book 1 ( secret histories) from amazon before i start. how about a little help, thanx
:confused::confused:

I recently checked out the RM Jack novel "Nightworld" but not a newer copy of it but the one that was published in 1992. Is this one going to be the same as whether or not he publishes a newer version of Nightworld, or will this copy from 1992 still have the same flow as if he wrote another version of Nightworld? Will the life of Jack and his family and friends continue on from the most recent novels that F. Paul has written?

I just finished the new and revised Nightworld (great job Wilson) but had a few questions:

• What happened to the Masamune?
  
• What happened to Diana?
  
• Why wasn't Jack able to use the sword?
  
• How did the Lady come back so quickly at the end?
  

The Masamune is the biggest hole for me. The end of The Dark at the End hinted that the Masamune might play a crucial role in Nightworld...and it didn't.
I was hoping that Jack would at least run into the Central Park hole with the Masamune rather than heavy artillery...
Otherwise, an awesome end to an even awesomer series. Can't wait to get to the prequels.

I was checking out some of the films coming out this year based on books. I saw Oblivion by Arvid Nelson and went to goodreads to find out more. Here is the description?

In a future where the Earth’s surface has been irradiated beyond recognition, the remnants of humanity live above the clouds, safe from the brutal alien Scavengers that stalk the ruins. But when surface drone repairman Jak discovers a mysterious woman in a crash-landed pod, it sets off an unstoppable chain of events that will force him to question everything he knows.

The name is rather suspicions. Paying homage, or ripping off, or what?

My wife and I caught THE GRASS ROOTS up here, at Mount Airey PA, a few weeks ago; THE HAPPY TOGETHER TOUR (Turtles, Grass Roots, Micky Dolentz, Gary Puckett, Buckinghams - 2012) and THE MONKEES (Mike, Micky and Peter-with a special segment for Davey) in New Brunswick, NJ in 2012! Anyone see anything or know of an upcoming tour???

"No slaves shall keep any arms whatever, nor pass, unless with written orders from his master or employer, or in his company, with arms from one place to another." -- a Bill Concerning Slaves [1785]

It looks like Jack got some love from Forbes of all places. I hope that the journalist didn't cross too many lines by putting Jack's business all out there.

When will the next two books be set? 1991, or will they be spread out to encompass more of that time between "cold city" and "the tomb"? sorry, i tried a lot of searching first before i posted this...
