It was a long, long time ago when I first read F. Paul Wilson's THE TOMB. And while I have read more books by this author, I never revisited the Repairman Jack series. Recently, I bought them all. So, readers, be prepared for a string of Repairman Jack reviews.LEGACIES was the second in the ever-popular series. It brought me right back into the melee as I remember it. Plenty going on. And Jack is as busy as ever!What starts out as a simple job for Jack, blossoms (explodes?) into so much more. A

Jack encounters Alicia, a pediatric HIV doctor who has inherited her despised father's mansion.

Love this seriesThis is my favorite book series. It is a major commitment totaling over 20 books it is well worth it. Simply awesome.

Re-read this for the third time as I'm trying to maximize my free month of kindle unlimited.Repairman Jack is awesome. 'Nuff said.

there is a LOT going on in this book, and it gets overwhelming.it's basically a far more complicated take on the parker novels, and the extra flourishes don't really help in any way, shape, or form. that said, it's a page-turner, and i'm willing to give the series another chance, as i hear this isn't one of wilson's stronger efforts. the character's interesting, and the cadre of cohorts he keeps around him give the book just enough to keep going.but, yeah: there are so many things going on -- ai...

Life really sucked sometimes.But it didn't have to suck all the time. Sometimes things could be fixed.Well, this one just read itself.This is the second Repairman Jack novel. It’s a great book. If you’ve read The Tomb (Adversary Cycle, #2) you may be entering this book with a certain expectation. Well, let me just come out and say that Legacies is every bit as good, but without the supernatural elements of its predecessor. No, the “weird” factor in Legacies is driven by pseudo science, and reads...

Legacies is the second Repairman Jack novel – published 14 years after the first, Wilson’s 1984 novel The Tomb. Interestingly, Wilson started The Tomb as a part of his Adversary Cycle, and then decided to spin off the character Jack into his own series.And we’re glad he did.One criticism I frequently have about a series is that the author - AC/DC style – creates clones and copies of the first, swapping out settings and themes but basically writing the same novel all over again.And I like Angus a...

I'm dipping my toes back in this series. The first was okay. I mean, it had great elements of libertarianism, staying off the grid, being a vigilante, and also having all the rough and tumble elements of a detective novel with some outright horror, so by all rights I should have fallen head over heels for it.A little while later, I found that it was slightly too tame for my tastes. Traditional stuff mixed together didn't quite come off as a genre mash, just an interesting pastiche. Fine. Let's p...

5 Stars Legacies by F Paul Wilson is an amazing sequel to the Repairman Jack series and is the rare case where the sequel is better than the original. This action packed mystery is something unique. It is Wilson's writing style that makes this read and this series stand out. He does not give overloads of details. Nor does he fill the pages with long winded conversations. He really is not big into world building either. All of this makes you think what could make Legacies good then? Wilson pens c...

F. Paul Wilson's Macguyver Redux is back in the second book in his Repairman Jack series. (Note: it took every ounce of my self control to resist typing "Jack's back" and linking it to a picture of Kevin Spacey's backside, and the only reason I finally didn't was because I couldn't find said picture.) It's been a few years since the adventures that took place in The Tomb, but things are near enough the same that I don't feel the need to flesh out the backstory too much. If all you know is that J...

#1 Repairman Jack seriesThis one was even better than The Tomb (the Repairman Jack book before this one). If you're a fan of F. Paul Wilson, OR if you want to read a book where the bad guys get their butts kicked in the end, you'll like this one. I can't help it...I'm absolutely drawn to this stuff.F. Paul Wilson can tell a great story -- with all of the plot twists and turns, it's obvious that while this isn't a great piece of literature, this man has an incredibly good mind.So here's a bit of

Since reading The Tomb as part of my Adversary Cycle quest this one became different with me. No horror stuff but I could say that Repairman Jack's novel will be a hell of ride of me to the go beyond on different genre of horror, mystery and thriller. Wilson's writing this was so freaking amazing and every page of this book I cannot put it down.You might understand at the end or middle of this novel why it is called as Legacies. RJ aside from John Rebus that I admired to thriller was practical a...

Another good one in the Repairman Jack series. This one was less paranormal, more mercenaries, spies, and intrigue. Good characters and plenty of action that kept the plot moving. Fun.

If i had to name a hero of mine, it would be Repairman Jack. The only unforgivable thing that FPW has done was to end the trilogy of Repairman Jack. No one will ever produce a legand like Jack or the backround filled with vast unsympathetic intelligence/entities, that if indeed had a name would be called The Otherness; feeds off death, pain, and misery. To destroy and more specifically to create chaos. The Ally; which aligns itself with humanity, giving them the tools to fight the Otherness. As

Introduced me to a rather harrowing type of hackingAs one would expect of a book by F. Paul Wilson, this novel is well written. The subplot, the evils of child abuse, may disturb some readers. The plot is logical, the characters well developed and the action exciting and realistic if you can believe in Repairman Jack. Jack's choice of a 9mm Tokarev as one of his pistols is a little odd. It would not be my first or even second or third choice.Even though this is the second book in the series, it

Dr. Alicia Clayton hires Jack to find the thief who stole the Christmas gifts for her AIDS clinic in Greenwich Village, but then decides she needs his help to figure out why her estranged brother is forcing her to sell her inheritance to a particular buyer (even though she wants nothing to do with the townhouse, which holds horrific memories.) Several competing forces are vying for something in the townhouse. Jack solves the mystery and saves the day/girl, while getting involved on several level...
