Seeing as I just finished Infernal that should give me plenty of time to reread Harbingers and Bloodline.

By-the-by, why was Legacies delayed from a spring release to fall? If I had to guess it's because it's been out for 10 years so there's no rush to get it out. :p

[daring to dream...] To coincide with the hype surrounding commencement of filming on Repairman Jack I: Claws of the Rakoshi, perhaps? It is the first book after Rakoshi.

Dare we hope?

Axioms Jack seems to live by (inadvertantly or not):

Why he does what he does: "I chose this life. I know what I'm doing. And on any given day, I could stop doing it. Today, however, isn't that day. And tomorrow won't be either." Bruce Wayne, Identity Crisis

On Rasalom: "Water's wet, the sky is blue...and good old Satan Claus, Jimmy...he's out there...and he's just gettin' stronger." Joe Hallenbeck, The Last Boyscout

Sweet! I can't wait!

BTW, Bloodline is my favorite RJ novel so far. I was very surprised by how much I liked it.

I was beginning to wonder about RJ over the last few novels. He was becoming so domesticated and clean.

Bloodline brought back that old sadistic darkness that peeked through in some of the early RJ novels and shorts. It's that darkness that lurks deep down that makes him such an exciting character. I loved the cold bloodedness to some of his actions.

Terrific!

[SIZE="3"]Whoa. Harbingers wasn't dark enough with a high enough body count?

Well, By the Sword has an even higher body count, although not all by Jack's hand.[/SIZE]
