Personally I think this was the best of the RJ novels. Solid characterization, check. Intruiging, well-paced plot, check. Maintains interest throughout book, check. Seamless referencing to previous novels without leaving new readers in the dark, check (not to mention Doug's preferred cafe, the Kuro Kaze! Clever). Gotta be my favorite.

I just finished Sibs.... what a great book...
I loved that ending.... FPW, you are amazing. what do you recomend for my next reading ??????
I suggest The Fifth Harmonic. It's still Paul, but it's not horror in any sense. I found it a miraculous, uplifting novel. It sucked me in and held me to the end.

I, personally, didn't think it was that bad and it is responsible for turning me on to fpw's novels, so it does have that going for it in my book.

Read the rest of the Repairman Jack novels and then read the Adversary Cycle (though be forewarned that he will be 'updating' these books for future print editions).
As for non-RJ/AC books, I like The Select, Black Wind, Nightkill, and Soft and Others (short stories) the best. Don't get me wrong, they are all GREAT!
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
