Zombie Joe Wrote:Hi, FPW I had some ideas and I thought they were good. Tell me what you think. I know that you said that Jake Nacht has too many similarities to RJ to let them Co-Exist, but maybe now that Jack's dad has died, Jake would be a great guardian angel for Jack. If not he could at least be one of the fella's in the tin box Jack's father always kept in his closet. Jake could have trained and fought alongside Jack's old man. (A flashback of Jack's dad saving a young Jake's life in the war would be cool.) Jack's dad's death would be as good a reason for Jack & Jake to meet. More importantly, These two characters meeting would tie in "Night Kill" into the Adversary Cycle.
On a completely different topic. I would love for Abe to sell Jack a 5-Shot Smith & wesson 500. 50 calliber magnum revolver. (It is a grade A- Monster Killer!!!! a real wrist breaker)
With that I thank you for your time, and the world of Repairman Jack. I continue to be a fan.
Great minds think alike!
I asked FPW a while back to combine the two. Since Tom (Jacks dad) and Sarge were both snipers during Korea, I believe he made Sarge his instructor. I think he was going to include him in the photo Jack finds, but it would be in the paperback. If it was done, this gives an indirect link between Jake and Jack.
Now, I'm still waiting for Jack to meet Carly the "face lift killer". That would be cool!
