NIGHTWORLD: 2012 REVISED EDITION - The Adversary Cycle.

The Author's Definitive Edition.

by F. Paul Wilson.

REVIEW:

Fans of Wilson’s Adversary Cycle who are thinking, Wait a minute; I read this one already, should think again. The novel, originally published 20 years ago as the sixth and final volume of the series, has been reissued in a revised form. The author has beefed up the role of Repairman Jack and made other changes to more fully incorporate the novel into the multibook Secret History of the World. Readers who aren’t familiar with the author’s previous books will be utterly lost in this one (which begins with the world’s daylight hours shrinking and ends with a battle for the future of earth itself). On the other hand, fans of the Repairman Jack novels will enjoy their hero’s expanded role here; in the original version of the book, written before the Repairman Jack series, he was a minor player, but here the author has tweaked the text to incorporate events and characters from books written after the original came out. For Repairman Jack followers, this is a must-read. --David Pit, BOOKLIST.

OVERVIEW:

This is the way the world ends…not with a bang but a scream in the dark.

It begins at dawn, when the sun rises late. Then the holes appear. The first forms in Central Park, in sight of an apartment where Repairman Jack and a man as old as time watch with growing dread. Gaping holes, bottomless and empty…until sundown, when the first unearthly, hungry creatures appear.

Nightworld brings F. Paul Wilson’s Adversary Cycle and Repairman Jack saga to an apocalyptic finale as Jack and Glaeken search the Secret History to gather a ragtag army for a last stand against the Otherness and a hideously transformed Rasalom.
