A great book becomes somehow even better And so we come (again) to the end, as both the Adversary Cycle and the Repairman Jack sagas reach their conclusions in a single book.

"This was an excellent re-write to the original version" according to Scott S.. This was an excellent re-write to the original version, itself a fantastic book.Like I suspect many others did, I read the original before reading this version so that I could see what differences were made. Having read the entire Adversary and Repairman Jack cycles up until that point, and reading the original Nightworld, it was pretty obvious where some of the changes would need to be made. Some of the additional storylines that were added are excellent additions and serve as a great finale to the RJ series.. "An end to a grand story." according to J. Prachyl. A fit ending to a story/stories which spanned many lives, but especially one "Repairman Jack". Followers of this series may not relish an end to this vast compilation, but as with all things built by man, there must be an end to it. Bravo, Mr. Wilson and well done!
