Re: Looking for Jake (with spoliers)

Yes JD is right. Book of the New Sun is my favourite Wolfe work and it is available from Masterworks in 2 volumes (2 books/volume). Highly recommended Science Fantasy that made it into my top 10 Chronicles list at No. 2 behind Erikson's Memories Of Ice.

The Soldier reference JD makes is part of the duolgoy entitled Latro In The Mist. Really good fantasy tale set in Ancient times about a man who loses his memory the following morning and is therefore forced to write down his experiences at the end of every day. Gene is due to publish the third Soldier book in the next month or so. The "Island Of" is a good collection but his other collection Tales From The Old Hotel of lesser known works Gene has a particular fondness for is worth seeking out.

I don't want to derial this thread any further so can I suggest you check out the Wolfe subforum where I and other members have comments about all of these books....
