Welcome, noturbizniss. You'll like it here.

Second: if memory serves from past questions of this type, the only changes in those 2, new editions are corrections of typos.

They are being re-published, mainly due to the fact that they have been out of print for a while (except for the collectors editions from Bordelands Press, of course).

So despite being the 4th book in the adversary cycle, I should read Reborn after The Keep, and before The Touch, et all?
It won't be like star wars, where you really need to see 4-6 to understand many of the concepts and ideas in 1-3 will it?

Reborn should be read immediately after The Keep and before Conspiracies...it is the re-origin of a major character in The Keep and Conspiracies.

Reborn overlaps with the Touch only peripherally (they share a setting, Monroe, but not much else). They are both meant to be read before Reprisal because they both lead (separately) into it.

The main reason to read Reborn before the Touch is that Reborn takes place in 1968, while the Touch takes place in the present day.

Cheers,

I just finished Black Wind ( I know...should've read it before By The Sword), and started By the Sword again and realized I had forgotten some small details!
This obviously calls for a complete reboot and refresher, so I just started The Keep (first time) and want to do it right this time!
