Repairman Jack - a fix-it guy who moves in unsavory circles. Got a problem that doesn't involve the law community? Jack is the guy.After losing his once-in-a-lifetime gal, Gia, to his past, he becomes involved in finding an iron necklace for an Indian diplomat.We find a centuries-old curse waiting for our hero. This story moved extremely fast, with likable characters, and even the bad guys had honorable intentions.This was my introduction to the Repairman Jack seres. Amazing detail, the story really pulls you in and the characters are well written. I definitely had a huge sense of anticipation and excitement as every page turned. I have since read a second in the series, Hosts. Looking forward to reading more!
This was my first - and THE first - Repairman Jack book, and I really enjoyed it. Well written and super-exciting. Repairman Jack isn't your average repairman. He doesn't fix appliances or broken fences. He "fixes" things for people who can't, or won't go to the regular authorities for help with problems. Jack is the last resort for people who are desperate for help and have nowhere else to go.Jack doesn't exist as far as the "normal" world is concerned. He doesn't have a bank account, a social
The only book I have read in the "Repairman Jack" series, and, I think, the last.Repairman Jack is a below-the-radar fixit guy that "repairs" problems for people. Although he's supposed to be cool and dangerous, he comes across as kind of an idiot man-child to me. He has all these ridiculous methods for keeping his identity secret yet he invites a strange woman up to his apartment early on in the book. He goes to the same bar every single time to interview clients and shops at the same store
Surely is an action-packed, creepy story. Highly imaginative storyline and monsters. Wilson had me wondering if such things really ever existed, as in an ancient religion. Repairman Jack is like the Everready Bunny; no matter how torn up and broken, he gets back up and goes back into attack mode! I liked the character of little 7-year-old Vicky, too. Not sure that I'll move right on to the sequel, but I'll probably come back for more soon.
All she could do was stand there and scream.Indeed. This book has a good number of things going for it. I particularly enjoyed the characterization of Repairman Jack. There are also some Lovecraftian references that fans will recognize. Striding down the dark passage like the avatar of a vengeful god, came Jack.I can imagine that followers of the Agent Pendergast series (Relic), the Charlie Parker series (Every Dead Thing) or the Harry Dresden series (Storm Front) would enjoy this, especially
Oh, wow, this book was fantastic! Unfortunately I was meant to be reading it with a very good friend here on GR and oops, I got carried away and started/finished before I should have (sorry, Jeremy). But once I picked this book up I was loathe to put it down. Thank you ScottK for loving this book so much and talking about it, you've now started me on a weird and wonderful ride with Repairman Jack. This series is quite a long one so I had better get to purchasing those books.
