dejo Wrote:Any one care to fill in this blank? I can't remember Glaeken being specifically mentioned in any of the RJ novels.
possible spoilers from Harbingers and Bloodline, maybe as far back as Gateways. Very minor.
I don't think he has been mentioned by name, but certain appearences lead us to believe he's made a showing in the last two books.

Britfan Wrote:Stick with the Adversary cycle & many of your questions will be answered
The big decision is whether to read Nightworld, as this comes after the current novels
However I would recomend the rest, you will find some interesting tie ins to the recent RJ books as well as
Reprisal is one of my favorite FPW books and has strong ties to Haunted Air
Cheers

Very good advise, but he nedds to read "Reborn" before "Reprisal" . These two are directly related to "The Keep", and gives a better understanding of Rasalom and some other key charecters in "Nightworld".
DO NOT READ "NIGHTWORLD' UNTILL YOU HAVE READ THE ENTIRE ADVISERY CYCLE!!!!!!!
In "my"order
1- The Keep
2- Reborn
3- Reprisal
4- The Touch
5- The Tomb

Hey Sig,
Hope all is well. You've started the series, now you should read the rest of the cycle. It will explain MUCH, and yet leave you with some questions. That's the neat thing. You just have to "keep" coming back for more.

SickThing Wrote:Glaeken is mention in Crisscross....
Yes I believe that is correct.
Or was it the old woman in Florida (can't remember her name of the top of my head) in Gateways that mentions Glaeken to Jack and that he was weakening and that Jack was chosen as the next Champion...something like that. Unfortunately I do not have my copy of either book here with me so i cannot look up a page # for reference.
I knew I wasn't crazy.

Ok so I need to read everything else listed in the Advesary Cycle series before I read anymore RJ but I must not read Nightworld (AC) until after I read the rest of RJ? Am I getting this correct? So hold off on Nightworld in the AC? Because Nightworld is the final book of the ENTIRE series/story?
Ok, so I guess I hit Reborn next...

Ahhh Reborn. This is one of my favorites. FPW has you twisting in the wind like a leaf in a tornado. The ending is just awesome! Ahh I miss that rush I got when reading the AC for the first time...

I think it is the best horror novel of all time, although it doesn't seem to be one of his more popular books.

thanks for your service sig i myself will be a marine recruit soon. anyways, i read the entire RJ series till i found out about the keep and the rest of the AC. So I read The keep then the touch, reborn and reprisal and I'm holding off on Nightworld because it is the final book in both RJ and AC. The AC is awesome though man especially Reborn and Reprisal enjoy man. Remember read AC up until Reprisal and read all of RJ before Nightworld.

You beat me to it. But there's one change I would make in your list, and that is to reverse the order of the last two books. Read THE TOMB before THE TOUCH.
[SIZE="3"]SPOILER![/SIZE] Highlight to read.
[COLOR="White"]Early on in the latest RJ novel (BLOODLINE) someone mentions to Jack that a certain individual Jack knew, (Walter Erskine) has recently died. Erskine was the one who passed the Dat Tay Vao on to Doctor Bulmer in THE TOUCH, and died immediately after.
So! The events in THE TOUCH begin to take place at the same time as the events in BLOODLINE -- both novels are taking place at the same time.
This is the first really positive linking of a timeline in any of the Adversary Cycle/RJ novels that I have seen -- or at least . . . noticed.[/color]
