Yeah, I think it was incorporated into All The Rage. But you know these completists (sp?).

Hey! Who are you calling a completist? We are merely overly obsessed whackos with little to say of a life, too much money (or debt) and an overwhelming desire to have a copy of every appearance of every story and or book. Wait, I like "completist" better. Yes. Completist will do fine.

And, yes, "The Last Rakosh" was incorporated into All The Rage. Although, I got a copy of "The Last Rakosh" before I knew Jack was coming back.

Ain't we jest a mite tetchy there, Scott?

I concur. "The Rakoshi" would be perfect.

I vote for Rakoshi no "The" i don't know i think it sounds darker. Plus we already have the The Touch and The Keep too many "The's". Imagine The Reprisal ,The Reborn and The Nightworld. Sounds like a collection of Bentley Little books.

Besides, isn't "the" the French word for tea? If the title is "The Rakoshi" we would have to change the title in the French translation, or it would be really gross.

Actually, I just talked to Borderlands this morning and it IS being retitled as Rakoshi.

The book was titled Nothing Lasts Forever by Roderick Thorp. "Die Hard 2" was based on the book 58 Minutes by Walter Wager who also wrote Telefon.

Here is a trivia question that stumped the entire campus of Iowa State University about 11 years ago: "Die Hard" was based on a book that was actually a sequel to another. The 'prequel' was also made into a movie. Name the other actor that played the same literary character as Bruce Willis in "Die Hard."

You have a hint above and the ability to search for it on the web, but see if you can answer it without help. Send me a private message if you know the answer... I'll post the answer if you want.

Was that The Detective starring Frank Sinatra as Detective Joe Leland who was later changed to detective John McLane for the Die hard films. I saw The Detective a few years back. About a detective (of course) investigating the murder of a gay guy. Not a big thriller fror the Bruce Willis character from the Die Hard films.

Incidentally, Tears of the Sun, Willis' war drama, was the working title for the 4th Die Hard movie, and he let the studio use it because they couldn't come up with a title for their war film. How nice of Bruce. So instead of Die Hard: Tears of the Sun...come 2005 we will have Die Hard: Die hardest. Let's hope that changes by then.

Talk about synchronicity, I just had an email exchange with Elizabeth Monteleone and it's all set: the Borderlands edition will be titled RAKOSHI (no "The"). This will be the first time the book has appeared under the author's title.
