Anyone care to give their ideas on this pressing question...

After the LTG does its job on Tom, where does it go? Back to its origin - but where is that ? Any clues in other FWP stories?

Where does the LTG send Tom?

I have a weird - no bizzare - idea on the latter. Maybe the LTG sends Tom back in time and he is reborn as Jack. That explains why everyone thought he and Tom looked so much alike, and why Tom had this unreasonably strong crush on Gia. Now that Tom goes back, Jack will begin to have flashbacks of Tom's life iin the next book.

Gotta remember: it's only a novel, only a novel, only...

You might be right. Then again it might appear on the Planet Zeist and force the Producers to recut the film again, which won't feature any footage of the LTG but consist of an expanded sex scene between Connor and Louise.

Wait, what were we talking about?


(Lisa, this was just for you, a birthday chuckle if you will...)

Aphew, you forgot the part where one of Jack's previously beheaded friends shows up fit as a fiddle without explanation.

I was actually assuming that he would end up in the place we got a glimpse of in Legacies. I don't remember the character's names off the top of my head, but do you remember when that hole appeared and had the ladder attached to it, and a couple people climbed down the hole and had their skin torn off?

That's the world I assumed the Lilitongue sent you to.

That's the Otherness, and is featured prominently in "The Pine Barrens" and in "Freak Show," and "Nightworld." I agree; I also think that Tom winds up in the awfulness of the Otherness.

I agree with Magers. You get involved with black magic (the Otherness, in Paul's books), you will pay a price beyond imagining. Trust me here. I'm not kidding. I've seen it.

That was in Conspiracies. While I agree that it's most likely that Otherness is the where the LTG sends you, it's too easy. The LTG is a device. The Otherness don't need no stinkin' devices to get its nastiness done. The LTG has an on switch. It was made by someone, who was expecting to get safely away from his enemies.

I just keep wondering why there were so many references to Jack & Tom looking so much alike. And Jack has this fascination with kids toys from before he was born.

And where did the LTG go when it was done? I think I saw it on E-Bay.

Didn't the Otherness need entombed humans as part of Opus Omega to get the job done? Weren't they a "device?" I saw the LTG on e-bay, too, but I was (sob) outbid.

There are definitely a bunch of loose threads to be tied before the finish.
