...shuffling my reading order, Thanks!

Wapitikev Wrote:As far as The Touch being read out of order, I have it on good authority that The Touch has a great deal to do with one of the characters in Reprisal, so you should DEFINITELY read it before you tackle that one.That's REBORN, not THE TOUCH. And there are a couple of incidents in ALL THE RAGE which link it to THE TOUCH.

But, as far as the reading order of The Touch goes, FPW lists it before Reprisal but after Reborn. Reading Reborn first is the logical order, since it occurs almost 40 years prior to The Touch, despite having only peripheral plot elements in common.

THE TOUCH, and all the Repairman Jack stories take place within that same time line.

thanks for the info Wapit. I had read synopsis for The Touch and from that it almost seemed as if it was not as integral to the overall AC as the others.
I will have to make sure I pick up a copy by the time Ground Zero comes out so I can make sure to be caught up. I was feeling like I was missing a lot when I was reading Bloodlines, good to know that I am still on track.

Then Paul wrote REBORN, REPRISAL, and NIGHTWORLD, which turned all six novels into a series.
NIGHTWORLD brings together all the major characters from the first five novels.
When you finally read NIGHTWORLD, you will see how THE TOUCH fits into the series.
