From the info on this site, I gather that Nightworld doesn't end happily, to say the least. I've come to really like Jack, Abe, Gia and Vicky and I'm not sure I want to read the book where (presumably) their world comes to an end in some sense or another.
The dream Jack had in Hosts about the war between the infected and the non-infected was bad enough and that was only a dream.
What do you guys think? Without spoilers, please, in case I do decide to read the series.
Thanks,

MD1995 Wrote:Hi,
I am new to this board and new to F. Paul Wilson. I am going to start the Tomb, the first of the Repairman Jack series. I just would like to know about the rest of the series, is it recommended to read the series in order or could you bounce around between each novel? Very excited to start though and look forward to reading what others have to say on this board!
MD1995 Wrote:Thanks for the tips! Just started the Tomb. I did notice that the book store I went does not carry all of his books, so I will see which I will read next. Thanks!

I agree with the gang that the RJ books are best read in order, but you'll need tremendous willpower not to read any that come your way as soon as you find them. You will never be disappointed in a Paul Wilson novel. Never. And as to the out-of-print, hard-to-find stuff, try bn.com for used copies. (Hadda say that as I work for B&N.)
