Hey, new to all this so forgive if this is common knowledge. Did a thread search but came up with no leads.
Just finished Reprisal (New English Library Hardback 1991) and something strange occurs on page 322. A paragraph referencing Repairman Jack suddenly appears quite out of the blue, when the main narrative of the beginning of chapter thirty concerns Lisl. Its awkwardness is like a sink-hole with malformed words appearing around the intrusion.
What's going on indeed?
Early 90s typesetting error?
Have i missed out on any further jack references?

No Jack in my mass market edition of Reprisal.
Save that book, it will be a collector item
Welcome BTW!
Trying to be nice
I think you're referring to this error.

"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.

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
Thanks for the nudge in the right direction, Mark.
And thanks for all the welcome messages.

For Snake -
Wap, cuz, I've been busy with work again. Everytime a deadline is approaching I realize how much closer to finished I might be if I spent more time working and less time posting.
I still have a ton to do in the next few weeks but I'll try to pop in every once in a while, eh?
