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

Is that sufficiently oblique?[/SIZE]
FPW
FAQ
"It means 'Ask the next question.' Ask the next question, and the one that follows that, and the one that follows that. It's the symbol of everything humanity has ever created." Theodore Sturgeon.

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]
