    Publisher Description

    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.


    At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

    PUBLISHERS WEEKLY SEP 15, 2014

    Set in 1993, the riveting final novel chronicling Repairman Jack's early years (after 2013's Dark City) finds the score-settling "fixer" living in Manhattan, straddling the boundary between both sides of the law. A brutal murder catalyzes the collision of several subplots developed in Jack's two previous outings, notably the Ancient Septimus Fraternal Order's backing of Muslim extremists, whose passion for bringing jihad to America sets them on course to bomb the World Trade Center. Jack loses several people dear to him in the destruction of the Twin Towers, and is witness to interrogations that come close to being torture porn, discovering just how cruelly the darkness inside him can express itself. Wilson skillfully cross-cuts between characters and their viewpoints as the clock ticks down to the exciting climax. If, as the author's note suggests, this may be the last Repairman Jack adventure, Wilson has certainly sent the series off with a bang.

    Fear City

    F. Paul Wilson does it again! A fitting ending to the current trilogy of Repairman Jack's early years. A must-read!

    Good not great

    A good repairman jack story but not up to par like the others. I will miss him and his stories in the future and hope there can be more stories in the coming years.
