Just finished S. M. Stirling's Sword of the Lady the third in the latest arc of the Change series. Its as good as the others but then I've never read anything by Stirling I haven't liked.
I'm a few chapters into F. Paul Wilson's latest Repairman Jack novel, Ground Zero. Good so far. I'm looking forward to the end of this series but not the character of Jack. I'd really like to see some Jack books without the supernatural elements once this series is done.

When the main arc is done I may go back pre-TOMB and put Jack through some straight, noirish crime stories.

Wow. Neat. I've read most of your novels but the character that appealed to me most was Jack. The appeal was to the man living on his own terms plus the guns. So I hope the muse hits you after you finish this arc. If you write 'em I'll read 'em.
