Well, Repairman Jack's life is getting much more interesting...also dangerous, possibly unpleasant, definitely confusing....Getting involved with possibly the largest and probably the most diverse group of conspiracy theorists ever...while looking for the enigmatic wife of one of his "clients" turns out to be more than Jack ever bargained for. He has assured Gia that this one surely won't be dangerous. After all Melanie (who has disappeared) was only getting ready to reveal her great Unification...
Repairman Jack - an everyday guy with extraordinary abilities. He hires himself out to "fix" things. Have a sister who has an abusive hubby? Jack will work on it. Misplaced your wife before the daddy of all fringe conspiracists meeting? He'll hire himself out for the right price. Throw in a dog/monkey beast masquerading as a pet, a couple of Men-in-Black guys, some anti-one world government types and you have a roller coaster adventure.
I knew my continued persistence with this series would eventually pay off! Too many readers who's tastes are similar to mine have recommended it for it to be a total wash. Sure, the first two books were so-so verging on mediocre, but that's to be expected in a 15 book series. Some of them are going to be throwaways. Fortunately, I am whorish persistent when it comes to my fluff reads, because Conspiracies finally revealed to me what all the fuss about this Repairman Jack character is all about.T...
I loved the first half to 3/4 of the book. The mystery, the weirdness, the setting, the characters...everything really. The last quarter or so of the book not so much. But regardless, it was a really good, fun read. Looking forward to the next in the series!
Repairman Jack goes undercover at a convention of conspiracy nuts in order to find a missing woman. He will find her, but most importantly, he will be introduced to the Otherness.I am finally getting into the work of F. Paul Wilson, whom I have read so much praise about. I have enjoyed his work, but I have to admit to being underwhelmed by it. Maybe this is an example of the dangers of too much hype. The story is not paced as quickly as I would have liked; for example, there is a large section i...
Talk about a hard book to pigeon-hole into a genre! Repairman Jack is back, and this moves the series definitely into the outre. As usual, Jack has a few jobs going on, one concerns a wife-beater and the other a missing wife. While the wife-beater 'fix' is more of a sideshow, however to the missing wife 'Mel'. Mel is into conspiracy theories in a big way, and has been researching what she calls the G.U.T., or the general unification theory. She is due to finally present her theory at a conferenc...
Welcome to a fix-it job gone bad. Really bad. Jack took this job thinking it would be easy, but it turned out quite the opposite. I recommend reading "The Tomb" and "Legacies" prior to this book. While it does include some background information on the previous novels, I'm willing to bet this book is more enjoyable if you've read the previous two and have some inkling of what's been going on with Jack prior to this novel-- especially since "The Tomb" and "Legacies" are so closely tied to the cul...
Reading Experience : Awesome Villainous Act : Very High Blood and Gore : High Disturbing Parts : Slightly Low Reading Slog : NoneOur fix-it job guy Repairman Jack accepts two task here one is to track the husband-wife condition and the other was the main story which is to find out the whereabouts of Melanie Ehler one of SESOUPERs. But suddenly our anti-hero faces problems in relation to rakoshi's that he deals already and not want to be visited again. Only a single thing RJ have to do and to
And the threads from The Keep, Reborn, and The Tomb begin tying together! The Tomb was a mix of horror and action. Legacies was action and corporate conspiracy. Now with Conspiracies we get into sci fi territory! A lot of humor in this one too. Jack at a convention of whacked out conspiracy nuts!
Oh my! This book was SO good, and I had so much fun reading it! Best of all, it ties together every one of the previous novels while adding new elements to the Adversary Cycle. And parts of it are funny, especially all the crazy conspiracy theories at the crazy conspiracy groups' convention.Don't miss this one, but DO NOT read until you have read all of these (in this order): The Keep/The Tomb/The Touch/Legacies/Reborn. If you don't, you will be scratching your head going, "huh?" I'm going to be...
I approached this one out of loyalty to friends whose book recommendations I highly respect. The Repairman Jack series is always at the top of their lists. But frankly I was a little apprehensive because up to this point I had found the series to be good but not outstanding. I knew from reading various reviews that there is a large supernatural element to the series but it was fairly minor (monster of the week) in the first book (The Tomb) and non existent in the second (Legacies). It's almost a...
While I didn't like this as well as the first Repairman Jack novel, it was an enjoyable read with just the right amount of the supernatural mingled with just the right amount of the hardball detective-type machinations I enjoy in Jack. The backdrop of a conspiracy theorist convention was both hilarious AND frightening--perfect for the tale.
It is the story of Repairman Jack who has to investigate in the middle of a conference of loony tunes who believes in all sorts of conspiracy theories. Jack doesn't believe in any of those theories and is always thinking funny things and making jokes about the supposed conspiracies organized by governmental secret agencies, extraterrestrial abductors (UFOs), Antichrist, Satan and the End Days, International Cabal of Bankers, the New World Order...This is full of action. I didn't know at all wher...
Conspiracy should be subtitled: Just because you're paranoid it doesn't mean they're not out to get you.Both a solid suspense story of what lurks in the dark as well as rather meta about the nature of people who believe in conspiracies of every shade and type. As each of the people Jack meets believe deeply in their own conspiracy theory, but scoff at those of others, Jack starts to question was it means that he believes deeply in what has happened to him while finding himself rolling his eyes (...
5 Stars Conspiracies book 3 in the Repairman Jack series by F. Paul Wilson is my favorite of the series so far. I took a big chance and read this book immediately after finishing and enjoying book 2. This book has a little bit of everything in it. Action, mystery, comedy, lots of Conspiracies, and quite a bit of mythology. Jack is back and thinks he has things under control with his life with Gia, Vicky, and Repairman Jack. This story has Jack agree to look into an apparent supernatural case and...
