"Rage, terror, and redemption: these are the stones upon which F. Paul Wilson builds the concluding chapter of Repairman Jack: The Early Years, the prequel trilogy focusing on the formative years of Wilson's globally popular supernatural troubleshooter. The strands of Jack's life, established in the first two books, Cold City and Dark City, are now woven into a complete pattern. Centered around an obscure group of malcontents intent on creating a terrible explosion in New York City in 1993, Fear City shows the final stages of young Jack becoming Repairman Jack. It is a dark and terrible story, full of plots and needless mayhem, with secret agents, a freelance torturer, a secret society as old as human history, love, death, and a very bleak triumph. Jack threads his way through this intricate maze, as people he loves are stripped away from him in a way that presages the later epic series of novels" --… (mais)

I liked this book best of the Repairman Jack prequel trilogy. Jack bumps into his former friend with benefits, Cristin Ott, and makes a lunch date. When she fails to appear, Jack decides to investigate leading him into serious trouble, crossing paths with Arab terrorists, current and former secret agents, the Septimus Order, the men behind the slave traders, and the Mafia. Jack is devastated to learn that his leniency in not killing Reggie was the biggest mistake of his young life. I hope FPW will write more Repairman Jack stories at some point, but this is it for now.

great wrap up to the early years in NY. I'm sorry to see RJ go. (

Okay, sue me. I cannot in my heart find a way to give anything other than a 5 star review to a Repairman Jack book. But seriously, this is the best of the "Early Years" books, and the most gruesomely graphic. The Torture Doctor Moreau is just an awesome character and sickly brilliant. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wince, and you'll actually be educated as to the inside events of the first World Trade attack...fascinating stuff, and neatly done. I doubt if anyone short of Wilson could've done this so well. Simply brilliant.

Now then. Having finally obtained all of the (to date, anyway) books in Wilson's "Secret History of the World", I intend to re-read them all in the course of the next year or so. A mammoth task to which I am sure I am up to. Maybe by then the good Doctor will have relented and brought Jack back just one last time...there are still evils to be addressed... (

This is to be the last Repairman Jack novel. I will miss him but I am glad we got to know him so well. This was the last of the young Repairman Jack stories. This was very well written and had a few twists and turns. This shows how Jack became Repairman Jack and gets into the beginning of much of the terrorism in the United States. I look forward to what F. Paul Wilson will dream up next. (
