Reprisal by F. Paul Wilson
3.0
Wilson's "The Adversary Cycle" has gotten a bit bloated. Granted, I only stumbled onto it when I first found Repairman Jack. I had to do a lot of backtracking. But I've gone back and read everything up to this point, and I'm still confused.
"Reprisal" features characters from "Reborn" that I didn't even realize were characters from "Reborn" until well into the book. There've been a dozen Repairman Jack books to read in between these two books, and I've lost track. Granted, I'm invested now. I can't let up. I stuck with "LOST" and "Battlestar Galactica" to the bitter end, through even more complicated mythos and larger character sets. But somehow, "The Adversary Cycle" seems too much.
I guess I need to finally sit down and read "Nightworld" before passing ultimate judgement, but I'm starting to feel only a sense of obligation to myself to read it. After all, I've put in all this other work . . . I need to know how things wrap up.
More thoughts in later reviews of "Nightworld."
