hold off on nightworld??? - Ken Valentine - 06-20-2004

Barry Lee Dejasu Wrote:However, that doesn't matter - or technically shouldn't, because in Crisscross, "Ms. Roselli" said that the Adversary (Rasalom) doesn't know that Glaeken is now just a feeble old man. Unless she is (and the other "Mothers" are) wrong, Glaeken still could "rain on (Rasalom's) parade."

AND, what's more, how else could the events of Reprisal play out if Rasalom already knows? If Rasalom knew this whole time, the events of Nightworld would be happening a whole lot sooner, and Reprisal wouldn't even be necessary as a novel anymore; and I'm sure that's not what FPW wants.

No, trust me...Rasalom may be on top of most things, but with this whole matter, at least for the time being, he's about as sharp as a basketball.

It isn't until the very end of REPRISAL that Rasalom learns Glaeken isn't a young man any more. (Something which Glaeken has been trying to hide from Rasalom.)
So, obviously, Crisscross takes place before REPRISAL. I expect that NIGHTWORLD takes place almost immediately after.

Keerect. Reprisal and Nightworld are essentially one long novel divided down the middle.

That's what I meant; sorry if I wasn't clear enough on that. I just mean that there is no way Rasalom can really know that Glaeken is old AND not the Ally's fist in this world. Not yet.

Yep, not yet.
