The Tomb, just finished ..... - kurrgan - 08-10-2006
Good morning, i hope everyone is well this morning. I didn't think i could be more excited than i had been after reading all the other RJ Novels. I bought The Tomb over the weekend at Walmart and, guess, what, i am more excited. This is my favorite of the RJ novles without a doubt. I loved every word of every page. A great adventure story if ever there was one and it was nice to finally be able to read where it all began.
Everything about the book tugged at me from page one, the characters, the story, the intricate interaction and relationships between the characters. WOW, WOW, WOW is all i can cay.
I only have Harbingers and the Last Rakosh left to read and can not wait until i can get my grubby little paws on them.
What's next in the RJ saga? Anyone?

The Last Rakosh is a great little read, not a full length novel and the short story was integrated nicely into All The Rage. Buy it by all means but don't feel ripped off because you have already read the story. It is a great stand alone and a nice companion piece to the RJ novels.
As for what's next, only The Man knows for sure, but we know how it ends already...getting there is half the fun.

***SPOILER***
Glaeken wakes up. He hears the shower running. He looks down at his suddenly unwrinkled hands. He walks to the master bath and opens the door to the shower stall. There is Magda--young, beautiful Magda. Surely he must have been dreaming.

You got it =almost= right, Biggles. It was really =Vicky= who wakes up, gets herself together, and runs down to the kitchen for breakfast. "Mommy, I had the weirdest dream." "Here's the pancakes, Vicky. Don't let them get cold. What was your weird dream?" "Is there more syrup? Well. I dreamed about me and you and Jack and these =monsters= and..." "Hey! Did I hear my name being mentioned?" Gia's husband, Vicky's foster-father, appliance repairman Jack pulled up a chair, hungry for some of his wife's good pancakes and his little girl's voice. "Got any syrup left, Vicks?"

I was bored today. I thought I would go stimulate the economy some. I went looking for antique cobalt blue glass, my favorite by the way. I happened upon one of my favorite towns, Monroe :eek: But this is in CT, not on LI, NY. Along the strip where my favorite antique store is, is a used book store. Lo and behold........I find a copy of "The Tomb" for 50 cents! Yes it's only a paperback, in pristine condition and the coupon is missing from the back, but what "fool" let this prize go? Anyhoo, it's mine now.

Well, dadburnit, Cobalt, an old rare edition? But let's not be to quick to judge the "fool" who let the prize go. Maybe he owed some coin to Tony the Donut...couldn't raise it quick...the doctors said, "No, man, you can't sell your =other= kidney." And there you go. And Cobalt, I bought a buncha of the new TOMB to give away. But did you notice there's no "repairmanjack.com" at the end, like there is in every other book?
