Jack rules!

CONSPIRACIES puts Repairman Jack in the middle of a conspiracy theorists convention. That in itself is enough irony for me. Jack has a missing woman case. To solve it, he must subject himself to unbelievable theories and people. But the truth really is stranger than fiction. When Jack stumbles across the meaning of it all, it is one of the best moments in contemporary fiction. The only real problem I had with this book is that the time line is somewhat confusing. Wilson told me that it follows LEGACIES, which followed THE TOMB. He sprinkles mentions of previous Jack novels but it's not exactly clear which one, if any, is which. That aside, I love it that Wilson has another supernatural-type book out, I was getting tired of the medical thrillers he's been writing. The sequel to CONSPIRACIES should be great based on what Wilson has gotten Jack into here. Can't wait! Recommended.

A New Kind of Hero

I continue to be amazed by the Repairman Jack novels. "Legacies" was nothing like "The Tomb", and "Conspiracies" is nothing like the other two. Each one is a new experience with a different rhythm. I especially love the weird paranormal ingredients in "Conspiracies" that were missing in "Legacies."

What I don't get, though, is why a reader (see one of the other reviews) would want Wilson to remake Repairman Jack (whom Dean Koonts says is "one of the most original and intriguing characters to arise out of contemporary fiction") into a Remo Williams retread. Some people just don't get it.

Don't listen, Mr. Wilson. Keep Repairman Jack just as he is: an original.

Jack is cool

I heard the author on the radio and decided to give the novel a try. Wow. Why didn't anyone ever tell me about Repairman Jack? I couldn't put it down. I'm ordering The Tomb and Legacies right now.
