Infernal

Repairman Jack, Book 9

By: F. Paul Wilson

Narrated by: Christopher Price

The ninth Repairman Jack novel begins with a tragedy that throws Jack together with his brother Tom, a judge from Philadelphia. They've never been close and Jack, the career criminal, soon finds that he adheres to a higher ethical standard than his brother the judge.

Determined to get to know his brother better, Tom convinces Jack to go on a wild treasure hunt together. Armed only with a map pointing the way to a desolate wreck off the coast of Bermuda, the brothers come across something much stranger, and much more dangerous than mere treasure.

Critic reviews

"F. Paul Wilson is a great storyteller and a thoughtful one." (David Morrell)

"The name is Jack, Repairman Jack, and it’s a name worth looking up next time you want a great supernatural thriller." ( Fangoria)

"A worthy addition to the Repairman Jack series." ( Booklist)

Good but Lacking

A standard RMJ novel, but it lacks the action I've come to expect. It's a wonderful story, but I think FPW could've done a lot more with it.

Great series

Sure have enjoyed this series up to now. Fun plots with plenty of action. There is a sci-fi feel to much of it. I enjoy a bit of the out there. The performance is also excellent. I will continue to listen through the series.

Good continuation of the overall story

Tom’s character became somewhat pedantic, but I suppose that was the point of describing him. What a loathsome character he was.

Awesome as usual!

I've been reading / listening to this series for years and it's still one of my most favorite. If you haven't read Repairman Jack then you really should you won't be disappointed .

Excellent Repairman Jack book

Would you listen to Infernal again? Why?

Probably if I had nothing else to listen to. Good light story that moves along at a good pace.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Jack's brother Tom finally does right by his brother and take responsibility for his own actions.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

In the beginning of the book Jack's father is shot at the airport. He tried to save people when the shooting started but was unable. This was a gut wrenching scene, not just because the father dies but also because they had just reconciled after many years.

Any additional comments?

This is one of the better Repairman Jack books. I would put it at the same level as Gateways which until now was my favorite.
