just finished the final scene for the concluding novel of the Repairman Jack series. The novel's not done yet - still have to go back and do plastic surgery (many augmentations and reductions) - but a first-pass draft is in memory and backed up in 3 places. It's got its own big finish that segues into NIGHTWORLD. Kind of bitter sweet.

Love the title, ominous yet poetic.

Ah.........finally.....*sigh*
Thanks for many many great RJ novels, Paul. I'll wait for the last RJ story gravely.
Congratulations! You certainly work fast.
I can't wait to read it, though you're definitely right about it being bittersweet.

I am excited for this and yet kind of don't want it to get here. It's like an old friend telling you he won't be around anymore.
Anyway, congratulations and as others have said, thank you for the great ride.

Yeah, but I bet Thomas Pynchon would be talking to himself. "How does he DO it???" :confused:

As much as I want you to venture into new territory, I'm saddened by the news that the RJ saga is about to end(although I've a feeling we'll be seeing him around). Easily the greatest series I've had the pleasure of reading and I can't possibly thank you enough for that.
