Excellent full of tension
This might be the best of the Repairman Jack series so far. Legacies (#2) was the best plotted, Conspiracies (#3) is probably the most fun, and Hosts (#5) was the most heart-breaking. The Haunted Air is the most perfect blend so far. It has all the elements that make a great Repairman Jack novel and it is a quick fun read.It is fitting that Wilson does a slight of hand plot wise, he has done that before with Legacies and The Keep. Those novels will dupe you with misdirection. Well F.Paul Wilson
The Haunted Air is installment #6 in the Repairman Jack series, and while it's a bit different than the others, it's still a great read. For anyone who's not aware of Repairman Jack, think about the old television show called "The Equalizer," add in a bit of HP Lovecraft and you're pretty much there. He's a man who lays low, under the radar, and wants to keep it that way. But you definitely want him on your side. In this episode, Jack makes the acquaintance of two brothers who are psychics (or a...
Once again, two seemingly unrelated cases for Repairman Jack come together as part of a single battle againt evil. One is a pair of brothers running a scam on talking to the dead, while the other is a request to watch a guy's brother to keep him from hurting someone else. Then, throw threats against Jack's girlfriend Gia and her daughter Vicki into the mix, and you have vintage Paul Wilson. Suspenseful.
This book had its ups and downs (yes, I know that's cliche, but it fits). The book involved a haunted house, the murders of children, a fake psychic, and once again, the ever annoying Gia. This was not a bad book in the series of Repairman Jack. Also, this is one where you don't really have to follow the rest of the series to understand what is going on. There were parts of this book that were fabulous, and exploring the world of real and fake psychics was very interesting. I love a good haunted...
Repairman Jack is back and better than ever! While I thought the 5th installment was a bit of a let down, the 6th IMO is one of the best so far. As usual, we have a few story lines that seem separate, but come together in the end (and what an end!). THA starts with Jack still recovering from the loss of his sister Kate from the last installment. Even though the Repairman Jack books were written years apart, the story line in all of them so far takes place in less than a year, so THA starts about...
Repairman Jack gets into some truly strange jobs involving a haunted house, an angry ghost, a turf war between psychics, and a ring of adepts who are into child sacrifice.There was some amusing dialog between Jack and Gia. His fix on the psychics was neat, and I enjoyed the expose on the tricks of the psychic's trade.There seemed to be a lot of crossover references to some other books set in this universe/reality. I think it is probably "The Adversary Cycle," though the only one of those I have
Vote: 3,75Class: L-B1 (FP) (sixth book of the Repairman Jack Series)Fast pacing, well written and with wonderful characters I've come to really like the Repairman Jack series!This one pick up where the third book ended, and the supernatural war with the Otherness: grows more and more interesting.A good and enjoyable reading and I'll follow up with the next installment of the series sometimes in the future.
One of Wilson's greatest strengths is doing a series of novels that keeps the reader somewhat in the dark, and yet gives them just a smidge more knowledge of what is going on than the protagonist, Jack. It makes for an enjoyable tension. And it doesn't let up. This was a different take on the haunted house trope, and as always, it ended in a slightly unexpected way. Much fun.
And again we're here with Repairman Jack. This is another good addition to the series and while there are things in it that almost cost it a star (the book tends to slow up a bit as it spins out the various threads of the story that will need to be woven together at the end) it also has an interesting little twist buried in it. The Repairman Jack series begins with The Tomb (Adversary Cycle, #2) which is listed as #2 in the Adversary cycle. Now if you look at the list of the books they don't act...
Jack ends up working a couple of cases at the same time. First, a man asks him to shadow his brother, who has admitted wanting to hurt somebody innocent during a moon phase. Second, a medium/fortune teller looks to Jack for help from a despicable husband/wife mystic team seeking to run him out of business.Throw in the ghost from a 9 year old girl, a secret sect who sacrifices kids, and the pregnancy of someone close to Jack, and it's a full plate for the Repairman.
Read in 2003. Two Repairman Jack books in December so I must have been on a roll. My last book of 2003. I read 82 books that year.
Why this remains one of my favorite RJ books, I have gotten into the routine of completely skipping over the Gia parts as she continues to become more and more of an idiot per each installment. This may be be last book where she can even be considered an actual character rather than an naggy plot device that can be depended upon to do the most stupid things imaginable, required to further the story along of course.She started out as a strong, intelligent character who, book by book, becomes shee...
Once again, Jack finds himself caught up -- or is he being drawn towards? -- a multitude of supernatural happenings. A haunted house. A restless and vengeful ghost. A turf war between psychics. A circle of believers pursuing immortality through horrific, sacrificial means. And, to boot, Jack's first child is on the way. And you thought your life was full?Easy to pick up and read. A guilty pleasure to indulge that you don't regret hours later. As always this series offers a unique and fascinating...
