Enjoyed the story. Was extremely informative re: pre WW2 Germany and the rise of Hitler.

SPOILER
[spoiler]Beyond the general spookiness of precognition and the "mysterious stranger who knows too much" and who defeats the protagonists efforts"[/spoiler] what did the story really add to the Adversary Cycle or Jack series that would have FPW list it in the [SIZE="1"]SECRET HISTORY OF THE WORLD[/SIZE] section of the main website? Is there some connection I'm missing?

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

[SIZE="3"]A character whose carry-over (sort of) will hint at a lot of the motivation in "Aryans..."

Is that sufficiently oblique?[/SIZE]

Yes. I thought it would be one of those "just you wait and see" things.

I have faith that all will become clear as I read further in months and years to come.

Thanx, FPW

More importantly, what's the story on the new collection... ?

And I figure the stories in Douglas Winter's Revelations are pretty independent of each other, but would you, FPW, suggest reading them all in order, as a collective novel? I plan on reading it all sometime anyway, but even so, thought I'd ask.

[SIZE="3"]Any order will do, although you might want to read the first three before the others.[/SIZE]
