I may have missed this explanation in some other thread but here goes......In following the flow of oDNA as described in the latest RJ book, which one of Jack's parents had the oDNA to begin with? I have a hunch that his dad might have had a touch of it but, needless to say, the whole oDNA thing, as far as Jack is concerned, was left hanging in the breeze.
Hey Jay, glad to hear you're still writing! Anything new we can buy or are they still works in progress?
SPOILERS on my opinion of oDNA and other speculation on further books.
When it comes to the oDNA in Jack, IMO, both of his parents were loaded with it. They didn't have the trigger gene that makes oDNA the time bomb. Jack does. I'm just worried that Jonah Stevens may be one of his parents.
He's the right age......

Hmmmmm...maybe her doctor said she could have no more children, but how lucky she was to have Tom and Kate... And didn't Tom Senior reflect in GATEWAYS how Jack was "unplanned"...?

Well, I imagine Jack's parents were doin' the duo. But maybe CERTAIN FORCES wanted--needed!--him to be conceived.
Only Paul knows for sure. And that hombre's as tight-lipped as an Aldeberan shellmouth...

Or maybe the trigger gene is just recessive and Jack ended up with an active copy from his parents. I wonder if it's a sex-linked trait. Oh the things we could learn from Otherness Genetics 101.

Well, we don't know too much about Jack's mom. But his father was certainly a badass. His sister had mucha heart. And even his no-good brother showed the beginnings of a champ at the end of INFERNAL. I did try to take Otherness Genetics 101 when I was going to college in Brockport, but Dr. Roma told me it was for bio graduate students only.

Alright, I'm gonna try this way. I tried to reply to KRW's quote and the system kept kickin' me out.
Vengeful Spirits is still waiting to get picked up. Book #2, Hell's Agenda, has been sent to two agents and I'm waiting on a reply from them.
Book #3, High Price of Gold, is finished. I still need to write a synopsis for it but, for the most part, it's ready to go.
Book #4, Deadly Inheiritance, is still being edited and typed. I hope to have it ready by 2nd quarter of '08.
Book #5, Darkness of Greed is being written right now as well as book # 6. Book #6 is still untitled but, so far I'm having a good time with it.
P.S. A synopsis for Hell's Agenda is available upon request. Just P/M me with your email.

You see boys and girls, when a man and a woman love each other VERY much...
Darn, don't those Forces have their hands in everything!?!?
Looking forward to finding out about Little Jackie.
