Jack is the ghost in the machine and the machine is in ruins after NIGHTWORLD. I'd rather write about how he becomes that ghost.early Jack stories would be great, I for one would love to read how he came to be who he is, besides what we already know from his mom's death and stuff. Abe, one of my favorite characters, is always fun to know about too.

Well, then, when you rewrite "Nightworld", make sure that you kill off Gia, and Abe, and finally make sure that Jack eats a bullet, that is the only way to kill off someone like that! Since you are so dead set in your decision, I think that my life would be better concentrating on other pursuits. I should just burn all of my R J books, since it is painfully clear that you will NOT allow any movies to be made (they should have started over 12 years ago) and it is futile to even think about the young Jack novels, they just don't have the same flavor as the R J series. Nothing lasts forever, but this is just a copout!
I'm outta here.
It's been......
