My question is is FPW re writing these novels or just having them reprinted? I just read Reborn, so I am wondering if I am going to have to re read this new re printed book?
Just reprinted.
I don't think there are any substantial changes to REBORN, or REPRISAL from the original, but THE TOUCH has had some changes made to it -- except for NIGHTWORLD, about the only changes made were done to
update the novels -- so they wouldn't be dated by technological or cultural references.
For example, in THE TOMB, Jack originally watched BetaMax video tapes. In the revised novel it was changed to DVD's.
And in the original novel Nellie Patton mentioned watching Johnny Carson. Well, Johnny Carson has long since retired so that was changed as well.
Just a few words here and there.
THE TOUCH had slightly greater changes because it originally was closer to the Vietnam era where the Dat Tay Vao came from.
So in the original, THE TOUCH, Sylvia's
husband was a friend of Ba's, and when it was revised, Ba's friend became Sylvia's
father-in-law.
And welcome to the board.
