I've hooked a number of people by giving them that book. In fact, I bought five more copies last Saturday.
If you want to read the series in order -- chronological order rather than published order -- the next book would be REBORN.
Then you should start in with the RJ books until BLOODLINE, which takes place at the same time as THE TOUCH, and the entire RJ series takes place during the events of REPRISAL -- NIGHTWORLD of course is last.
I hope that wasn't confusing.
