5 Stars Harbingers, Repairman Jack #10 is another fantastic installment of one of my favorite on going series. F. Paul Wilson has created a special series led by a main character in Jack that always walks the line between good and bad. The Repairman Jack series has developed into one of my favorite series out there and I can never seem to get enough. Wilson does an amazing job at making each book work as a standalone while at the same time never neglecting the overall story arc. We the reader no...

"Hot dog" we're back on track with this one. I like the Repairman Jack series but have to point out that the individual novels can run hot and cold. The one I read just before this was possibly/probably the weakest of the series. I was almost bored with it and while it does fill in some gaps in the overall story was simply slow and had major holes in it's "interest level".Not so here. From the weak book we launch into a major jump forward in the story (probably baring out some things you've susp...

Every series has its ups and downs, and while Infernal was a bit of a down, Harbingers definitely picks it back up. While we have been given hints thusfar about the overall story arc, in Harbingers we finally get a lot more revealed and some classic Jack action to boot. The story starts off in a typical manner-- Jack is on a fix it job, albeit a strange one. One of his 'buds' from the bar he hangs out at tells him is niece has been abducted and wants Jack to find her. Again, I think almost all t...

Well I've finally calmed down from the free-fall that is Harbingers. A roller-coaster ride that had me wrought with emotion throughout most of it. Increasingly this series has gotten more harrowing, more personal, and more emotional with the systematic picking off of Jack's family and the advancing horror of the Otherness. There are some serious twists and turns in this novel as Jack gets closer to revealing the reasons behind his role in the battle between evil and not so evil or is it evil and...

Review to come.

After the double whammy of the last book, Jack is feeling appropriately glum. He's not even taking on new jobs at this point because of his high glum rating. But, of course, someone at the bar makes a special request, and Jack feels sorry for him, and hijinks ensue. The opening gambit is really just a way for Wilson to introduce the main story here, of course, which involves explaining a lot of the lingering questions that have come up through the first nine books of the series. This is probably...

Repairman Jack at his best, and at his worst. Screw with the few he cares for and see how Jack comes for you. Jack is meticulous, inventive, and can anticipate your moves better that you can. You cannot prepare yourself for the measures he will take against you. Be warned.I'm scared for Jack's future, the future that the Ally is sculpting by ripping all of his loved ones away. I didn't like the parts of the story where I thought that he had ignored his personal code to seek out vengeance. But, t...

Bluck...I love Wilson’s writing, but I forgot I don’t like the “Repairman Jack” series. Too hokey...too...pointless. I got halfway through “Harbingers” and the plot jumped the shark; a Voldemont-like bad guy who’s dialogue is SO corney, his girlfriend whose carrying Jack’s baby and her daughter get run over...of COURSE they do? How was this guy gunna get a “normal” life, or keep a girlfriend? It’s like the sons and the dad on Bonanza; every time they fell in love or married, some poor Wild West

One of the BestRepairman Jack is one of my favorite characters, each book in the series are a joy to read. Harbingers really raised the bar, several questions were answered (there’s still more unanswered), and past incidents started to come together. A lot of things are making sense now. Harbingers was an emotional roller coaster with plenty of action and smooth writing. I really enjoyed it.The only negative is that the book costs have skyrocketed, I will eventually read the rest of the series b...

4.4/ I jumped into this series late (began at #10). Repairman Jack has a lot of Jack Reacher in him. This Jack maintains a Rolodex of underworld helpers that help him over obstacles. There is an otherworldly battle between good and evil here in which Jack is a key player. The line seems quite vague at best. A lot is revealed on that front. Jack is a pawn on an intergalactic chess board, but the end product is a lot of cult classic one liners and Reacher-esque hell raising.

This book deserves 4 and three quarter stars really. With a compact plot ie less meandering and less plugging plot holes as an afterthought, this book gets the series back on track. It's almost a reboot of sorts. Or at the very least mr Wilson applied the defibrillator to his overall story just in the nick of time. Questions answered, reasons given and the perennially 'how can you be so thick' jack finally gets a clue. Maybe we're just back where we started? But at least we know why!

Another fantastic Repairman Jack novel. I have said since I started this series that Wilson writes like-able, deep characters that you actually care about. This book is no different. I love spending time with Jack, Gia, and Vicky. But most of all, I like visiting Abe! Can’t wait to read the next one!

(each) a Repairman Jack Novel: some imagination via this author with the 2nd one better than the first, though both a bit eerie and not worth reading the other novels in the series. I would bet this auth. has a following just not for me…not bad enough to stop reading, just not good enough to say ‘get this one’ (I had already gotten the 2nd one from Berea Library before finishing the 1st)

I'm not sure how much more Jack can take at this point. I'm curious to know where the story goes from here. If you are a new reader to the series, I wouldn't start with this book, go back to the beginning.

Still enjoying this series.

I'm starting to find the casual Islamophobia of the characters in this series a bit much to take. If F. Paul Wilson doesn't control it better, his books will soon look like Andrew Klavan's.
