I have seen a couple of different lists on how these books should be read. Can someone tell me in what order this set should be read in? Thank you, slg

There really is no right answer. Three of the books have a set place: The Keep (#1), Reprisl (#5) and Nightworld (#6). You can read the other three (The Tomb, The Touch, Reborn) in any order, though chronological might be best (Reborn, The Touch, The Tomb).

I would suggest holding off on Nightworld if you want to read the rest of the Repairman Jack books as it is the end of both interrelated series. Jack first appears in The Tomb, then has something like 16 or so books, ending with the just released newly revised version of Nightworld. Actually now that I'm thinking about it, not sure if the new Nightworld would make much sense without all the RJ knowledge.

If you want to stick just to the AC and are not interested in the RJ books at all, read the old Nightworld.

That's the timeline order to read things.

While the Adversary series was a great read.....if you read the old Nightworld, you'll miss out on the world of Jack. It's another great series that ends in the revised Nightworld. Well worth the time to read through. Another plus....you'll have a greater understanding of the Otherness.

And welcome to the board. Smile

Now that the revised Nightworld is out, I like to think that there's only one series: The Secret History.
