Damin J. Toell Wrote:Well, it's finally here. I figured I'd open up this thread so everyone can post their thoughts on the new, definitive NIGHTWORLD. I've only read the original 1992 version, so I'm looking forward to seeing how everything plays out. Everyone post your thoughts, and feel free to post spoilers.
Personally, I never thought this day would come - it always seemed far in the future.
The Fifth Infernal Wrote:Thank you so much Mr. Wilson for the revised, revised edition. This has exceeded my Repairman Crack cravings and needs.
I have been a lurker and a HUGE Jack fan for the past five years.
I love the new part which covers in detail what goes on at Abe's farm and bomb shelter with Gia and Vicky.
I love the improved last battle vs R. I thought Jack would be completely taking Glaeken's place. Their collaboration kicked major mule's behind.
The little girl with the puppy and Parabellum at the finale brought tears to my eyes.
Now that the revised and improved (while keeping so much of what was great in the original) version is "final" I highly recommend to anyone reading the series to start this new Nightworld immediately following The Dark at the End.
Thank you for Jack. Thank you for The Secret History. Thank you for being such an active part of this forum Mr. F. Paul Wilson!
Blake Wrote:I got a kick out of Jack's new dialogue to Rasalom at the end, too. I was grinning ear to ear reading that.There was a Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode where the mayor turned into this giant snakelike demon and I remember thinking uck is going through all those changes worth it to become an all powerful demon?
Blake Wrote:I thought one change from the Borderlands Press revised edition was surprisingly big: the replacement of Hank Treece with Hank Thompson. It was a perfect ending for Thompson, and in the scheme of things, I guess it wasn't a big change... but when I'd first heard that revisions from the Borderlands version would be minor, I wasn't expecting a character switch! It made perfect sense, though.
