Summary: The Adversary Saga Continues
Comment: Reborn is book Four in F. Paul Wilson's epic "Adversary" cycle, and it's also the book where the big picture starts to become clear.
Reborn tells the story of Jim Stevens, who, after years of searching for his birth parents, finds out that his natural Father is a recently-deceased Nobel-Prize winning millionaire. Not only that, but Jim has been left his entire estate. Rather than leave well enough alone, Jim continues to dig around for his birth Mother. That's where his troubles begin....
Wilson telegraphs the point of the book by making constant references to Ira Levin's classic "Rosemary's Baby", which covers the same theological ground. He does make a VERY unexpected detour about 2/3rd's of the way through the book that really threw me for a loop, though. There are some characters and themes that carry over from the previous books, especially "The Keep", so DO NOT read Reborn without reading The Keep (Excellent!), The Tomb (Excellent!!), and The Touch (Not bad....).
The Dark Harvest edition is gorgeous, and comes with illustrations by Stephen Garvais. His art is great, but he doesn't always pick the best scenes to represent. All in all, Reborn is a fun, if standard, read. It does what it sets out to do, though: Brings Molosar/Rasolom back with a vengeance....Bring on Reprisal!

Summary: Sequel to The Keep spawned a Cycle.
Comment: When F. Paul Wilson began writing Reborn it was just intended to be a one book sequel to his successful thriller The Keep, but ideas and links to two other seemingly unrelated books (The Tomb and The Touch) arose and, thankfully, Wilson rolled with those ideas. The result is a breathtaking six book Cycle about something very evil trying to end the world.
A struggling horror novelist receives a surprising inheritance and some heartbreaking news about his parentage. But there are greater forces at play here than meet the eye and Wilson pulls numerous threads together, setting the stage for an epic battle that only begins after some devestating personal payback in the fifth book, Reprisal. Highly recommended.

Summary: Very Good, and not, Not, NOT a Rosemarie's Baby clone!
Comment: This was a very good book. A millionare/genetic researcher had died in a plane crash, leaving his fortune and victorian mansion to a young writer named Jim Stevens. Jim, as an orphan, wonders if this guy was his father. Soon, however, all sorts of strange things begin to happen, including apocalyptic warnings from Jim's relatives and friends. I cannot believe how STUPID people are! This book is NOT a Rosemarie's Baby clone! It has similar aspects to it, I admit, and it even *mentions* Rosemarie's Baby a few times--BUT IT IS NOT A REMAKE OF THE IRA LEVIN CLASSIC! Read it CAREFULLY and you will see what I mean. This book is a SEQUEL, people, and it can ONLY be read AFTER "The Keep", "The Tomb", and "The Touch". As well, this is a very good book. Pretty scary at times, but nowhere near as scary as "The Keep". Read this book ("The Keep", I mean) and you will see what I mean. The looks at life that these books make are astounding. What's more, after reading this book, there are the horrors of "Reprisal" and "Nightworld" to face... heh-heh-hehh...
