confusion - Mr Osala - 02-20-2011

Hey all,

sorry to trouble you,

been a while since I read By the sword and ground zero, and now I have Fatal error, and I'm confused about the Kickers and the septimus order, which is which, what their individual goals/motives/part of the story are etc (so far), can anyone give me a quick reminder ? I'm getting a bit confused.

Secondly, having bought the adversary cycle many moons ago in Hardcover, I wondered how many of the paperback reissues are necessary to buy, Ie how many are revised editions?

Many thanks,

OK, the "Kickers" are a group of people that come from all walks of life (mainly criminal) that feel a common bond based upon a book written by Hank Thompson(?) and have dissimulated from society. Hank, the author now has a following based from a book I believe was inspired from a dream, but doesn't have a clue as to what to do next.

The Septimus Order have been a secret society that has been around (I believe) since the "First Age" always paving a way for "The One" to take over the world. Earnst Drexler, the actuator for the Order, has taken in the Kickers just in case they might be of assistance to him. So far they've proven pretty valuable.

Except for "Nightworld", I doubt any of the other revisions on the "Adversary Cycle" have been changed enough to make much of a difference.
