   Be advised that the ‘Standalone’ Nick Of Time is a single publication which encompasses all 5 ‘Nick of Time’ books .

   Quote from the book: “The five parts of Nick of Time are available as separate e-books:”

     Thanks Simon. I’ve made a note on that and added it to the Nick of Time series.

   I am currently reading Soft Targets by John Gilstrap. It shows to be the 6th books in the Jonathan Grave series, but it seems really out of order. It basically introduces the reader to Irene Rivers, aka Wolverine, who has already appeared in his earlier Johnathan Grave books. Perhaps it was written earlier but published later?
