Sev Wrote:Thanks! You've confirmed my suspicion that it had something to do with Reprisal. I understand that Reprisal covers several years. Where does it fit into the RJ series?
(I'm off to locate the Adversary Cycle at my local libraries!)
There are six novels in what we call The Adversary Cycle.
It begins with THE KEEP, and in chronological order (not the published order) the next book is REBORN. Then comes REPRISAL, and finally . . . NIGHTWORLD.
THE TOMB and THE TOUCH all fall within the time line of REPRISAL -- the Repairman Jack novels sort of parallel the events in REPRISAL.
And everything comes together in NIGHTWORLD.
But there are a number of other novels that have cross-over incidents with the Adversary and Repairman Jack series. For example, IMPLANT, which is linked to ALL THE RAGE, DEEP AS THE MARROW, and THE SELECT.
And in ALL THE RAGE, you see links to THE TOUCH -- the "Asian in the Pacer," and the doctor whose name is on RJ's hospital wrist band.
That's all I'm going to say except that you have a lot of great reading ahead of you.
