Which AC novel comes after The Keep?

I'm almost done with the book I'm reading and need a change of genre for a book or two and figured I'd go back to the AC novels, but I'm not sure which comes next.

I'm not interested in the RJ books again yet, just the books related to The Keep (yes I know they are all related, but I guess I'm asking for the AC stuff that is non-Jack)

I know there was a list before...

This movie is not for everyone. It's also not likely to be a wide release, because it has an NC-17 rating. A young guy owes $6K to some bad guys, so he comes up with a plan to hire a contract killer to take out his mother. The guy has heard that his mother has a life insurance policy that will pay $50K. The killer wants payment up front and is about to walk away from the deal, when the killer decides that he'll take the guy's sister (who is a little nutty) as a "retainer".

It's pretty much a "get money quick" plan that falls apart. I spent part of the movie shaking my head at the trailer trash stupidity of the people involved. The end of the movie, which is probably what earned it the NC-17 rating, makes insane use of a chicken leg.

Matthew McConaughey plays the contract killer. Thomas Hayden Church, who seems to have made a career out of dimwits, is the dimwitted father of the young guy. Gina Gershon is the trashy stepmother (seriously - who answers the door pantsless when she doesn't know who is outside?).

The story isn't all that original but it's still entertaining to those who like dark and weird humor. It's not a laugh a minute but I still enjoyed the movie.

7/1 - weather.com describes the moon phase as "waxing / Gibbous" - HPL introduced me to "gibbous" - he definitely expanded my teenage vocabulary


7/3 - FYI: A website devoted to "The Keep" film and the TD soundtrack http://thekeep.0catch.com/


7/4 - had to share: I'm a longtime pulp fan and I think this cover is absolutely brilliant. http://tinyurl.com/748skfc


7/5 - the dialogue "and voiceover for the Reacher trailer… "He doesn’t care about proof, he doesn’t care about the law, only what’s right." (*shudder*)… just awful... http://tinyurl.com/83yvr7h


7/11 - Moving along: Hit the 70k mark on DARK CITY (#2 in the Early Years trilogy) and the 5k mark on the Pellucidar novelette


7/12 - Stephen King emailed me a link this AM. Paranoid SOB that I am I didn't click it. Wrote back and asked if he'd been hacked. He said "that's a big 10-4." Lotsa folks being hacked lately. Even the K-man.


7/12 - beer and bloating in Las Vegas. (Not really -- haven't had a beer in weeks) Got upgraded to 1st class this AM and made it to TAM 2012 in time to listen to Penn Jillette record a hilarious and sacrilegious podcast


7/13 - in Vegas. On Friday the 13th. At TAM2012. Rainmaker, me? (as opposed to rainman) When I go to LA, it rains. Now I'm here in Vegas and it's raining.


7/13 - from Penn Jillette’s bacon and donut party at TAM2012 http://twitpic.com/a7jwve


7/14 - Favorite bumper sticker from TAM2012: "When the Rapture comes, can I have your car?"


7/15 - rose 4am in Vegas for an early flight and Sunday was that I saw this conjunction out the window (I didn't spot Aldebaran, but all the other were clear as can be): http://www.flickr.com/photos/55077401@N04/7575231840


7/15 - stuck in Mccarran - engine trouble. Nothing but problems since United and Continental merged.


7/16 - the trip from hell: rise 4am 7/15 in Las Vegas - head on pillow at Jersey Shore 4am 7/17


7/18 - Tom Monteleone and I crash at Dan Waters’s place pre-NECon


7/20 - this cautionary tale ends with "Want to stop this from happening?" Dude, it already here. http://www.aclu.org/pizza/images/screen.swf


7/23 - hey, audiobook fans: the paperwork isn't all done yet, but I've accepted Brilliance audio's offer on the Early Years trilogy (starting with COLD CITY in the fall) and all the remaining unrecorded Repairman Jack novels.


7/25 - received my copy of the UK edition of BOOKS TO DIE FOR edited by John Connolly and Declan Burke. It's a big 'un. Proud to be in such great company.


7/26 - finished a draft of my Pellucidar novelette: 12k words and 10k exclamation points!!! (Trying for a balance between my style and ERB's). A work-for-hire story, which I routinely refuse. However, for the chance to play in Pellucidar I overruled myself.


7/28 - off to Nantucket with a Kindle full of novels. The only time I get to read other peeps' work.

I have seen a couple of different lists on how these books should be read. Can someone tell me in what order this set should be read in? Thank you, slg

I think that movie really captures the world at night from Nightworld, where every moment is filled with danger, fear and dread.

We just came back a little while ago from seeing Ted. Stars Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, & the voice of Seth MacFarlane. We laughed our heads off. A lot of silly, crude humor (farts included) but very funny. Loved the "Thunder Buddies Song". If you haven't seen this yet you should check it out before its gone.

Really good film. Not on par with the second, but close, I came away satisfied with the conclusion to the trilogy.

More epic in scope than the first or second films, it truly blows the socks off at times. The performances are all terrific, from the reliable Bale and Caine to the new guys Hathaway and Gordon-Levitt. And the denouement is very well done, you'll laugh, you'll cry. Maybe.

It didn't quite take you through the rollercoaster of emotions the second film did, the plot isn't anywhere near as complex, and the bad guy (Hardy as Bane) was a very different beast, much more physical, not so much into the mind games. Heath Ledger's performance in the second film would always have been a tough one to top, so they didn't even try, going in a different direction completely, becoming almost like a war film.

Well worth seeing on the IMAX if you have one near by. If you liked the others, you gotta see this.

July 18 & 19th "What Zombies Fear: A Father's Quest" will be free on Amazon. This is a really cool zombie apocalypse series that I have been reading for a while. (In fact in the 3rd book I'm a character and I get to die - cool huh?).

http://www.amazon.com/What-Zombies-Fear-...775&sr=8-1

But it won't be free until then!
