I also waited til today to read the story, the book was a present from my wife. (she didn't think I could wait that long!)
I loved this story! Anything that starts out with Jack dropping a wreath at the top of the Empire State Building in honor of Kong has got to be a good time.

Joe Konrath's story was great, too. Both had that dark humor.
Biggles Wrote:Dark humor? What was dark about it? :confused::confused: Umm, humor in the face of violence and danger, etc.
BrettM Wrote:Naturally I read the RJ story first. Then I turned back to the beginning of the book.
The first story had a protagonist named Jack. "Hmmm, what a coincidence," I thought.
The second story featured a character who has a brush with the series protagonist, named Jack. The third story featured a minor character from a series with a female protagonist ... nicknamed "Jack".
Now I'm afraid to read the fourth story.

luthie2 Wrote:Me too! Methinks they should have put the stories in a slightly different order. LOLYou mean it's safe to read the fourth story? ITW doesn't really have a membership requirement that your main series character be named Jack? ("ITW: The House that Jack Built ... Literally" I wonder if Tom Clancy's a member?)
