Narration Conducive To Books The Dark at the End (Repairman Jack #15)
Bound by his promise to Glaeken, Jack has refrained from making any direct moves against Rasalom. But things have changed so there's nothing holding Jack in check any longer. Other changes are occurring as well. Jack is healing at an accelerated rate--much like Glaeken did when he was immortal. This can only mean that Glaeken's time is almost up and when he dies, Jack takes his place.
Rasalom continues to plot against the Lady. Twice she has died and returned; a third time and she will be gone, leaving a clear path for the Otherness to infiltrate this reality. But Ernst Drexler, formerly Rasalom's go-to guy for logistical support, fears he will be left out in the cold when the Change comes. He forms an uneasy alliance with Jack, who is preparing to face their old enemy.
Meanwhile, Dawn Pickering is searching for her supposedly dead baby. The trail leads her to a mansion in a remote Long Island coastal town, where she discovers a truth she could have never imagined.
Now the stage is set for Jack's massive assault on Rasalom. Jack knows he's got just one shot. But it's not just a matter of taking out Rasalom: he also must safely retrieve Dawn's child and minimize collateral damage. So, he comes up with a foolproof plan.
But fools are always with us….

Wrapping up his series about a Lovecraftian supernatural apocalypse. F Paul's books are a quick read, heavily plot-driven and transparently written. You won't find yourself re-reading sentences to savor their beauty, but you will find yourself rushing along to see how it all ends. I mean that in a good way.Technically this is the final Repairman Jack book. But _Nightworld_ came out with the "Repairman Jack novel!" blazon on the cover, just like all the others, so we'll say "penultimate" and move on.I dunno, I expected more oomph of a penultimate book. Tension-wise this series has been cruising along at about 3-out-of-10 for the last couple of books, and now the author has ratcheted it up to a 5.This is not to say nothing happens -- stuff *happens*; but it's not strikingly apocalyptic. Jack goes
Good but not a great jack book. Repairman jack storyline got hijacked by the adversary cycle. Jacks whole backstory is quickly thrown together to work for this narrative. Never heard of wheezy before two books ago, now we are supposed to buy into this deep affection? Nevermibd we have zero Gia in the storyline glaeken is worthless. Years of knowledge and he just sits on his ass doing nothing. The writing is beneath the narrative prose we are accustomed to getting with repairman jack books. No
I am the biggest Jack fan ever and looked forward to this book with mixed feelings. I love a new Jack book but this was to be the last in the series. Oh the thrill of how it would all end was going to be sooooo good. This was probably the lamest book of the lot and I was very disappointed. Paul Wilson set us up with no satisfying end to the greatest anti-hero ever. Just a lead in to another book or books. Jack deserved to end in some kind of blaze of glory not fade into some other era. Very
Ok overall I liked this book. I put off reading it because I knew it was the last in the repairman jack series and I didn't want it to end. All of the elements of a good repairman jack novel are there, however, you know right from the beginning that this isn't going to work out well, Jack isn't going to save the world from the Otherness etcetc, and you know this because the next book along is Nightworld, which pretty much says everything doesn't it. So because I had figured out that this was
Expected a different ending. This is it? Still confused. Thanks for writing FPW.
I wasn't going to read the Adversary Cycle while reading the Repairman Jack series, but somewhere around #12 or #13, I decided I wanted to read both. If I had decided to just read RJ, I'd be sad at the way this ended, thankfully, I still have Adversary Cycle numbers five and six to read. I hope that our world is a little better than the bleak end to Jack's.Wilson writes with mastery. His stories are intertwined even while writing them over the last thirty years. Give him a shot. After I conclude
