Overview

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.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
In Wilson's well-wrought ninth Repairman Jack novel (after 2004's Crisscross), the off-the-books fix-it man, urban vigilante and paranormal adventurer reconnects with his estranged brother, Tom, after their father is gunned down in a terrorist attack at La Guardia Airport. Tom, a corrupt Philadelphia judge who's fleeing the law and rapidly running out of money, persuades Jack to help him look for the wreckage of a Spanish treasure ship that sank in 1598 off Bermuda. Instead of treasure, however, the brothers haul up an odd, skin-covered, oblong object known as the Lilitongue of Gefreda. It looks harmless enough, but research tells them that those who come in contact with it vanish to the "Otherness." The plot moves briskly but never recklessly, the dialogue is salty and witty, and the characters have enough dimension to elevate them above the genre pack. Jack, introduced more than 20 years ago, is aging gracefully. Agent, Al Zukerman at Writers House. (Nov.) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
Kirkus Reviews
Anonymous hero goes through some family issues, recovers treasure, fights terrorism. Repairman Jack lives off the grid under an assumed name and does a lot of off-the-books "repair" work, through exactly how and why is not spelled out in Wilson's ninth entry in the series (Crisscross, 2004, etc.). Jack, who has a nice little Manhattan life going with the lovely Gia and doesn't want more complications than his shady work already offers, is awaiting the arrival of his retiree father, who's flying up from Florida for some quality family time. But a terrorist attack at LaGuardia leaves Jack's father dead and Jack scouring his network of reprobate acquaintances to find out who was behind the attack. His father's funeral brings Jack into unwilling contact with his brother Tom, a Philadelphia judge who-with his ex-wives, drug and alcohol problems and extremely lax attitude about bribes-is an even less upstanding character than Jack. Tom ropes Jack into taking a ride on a boat to Bermuda in order to withdraw some funds that Tom had stashed away in a bank there. Along the way-just maybe-they'll look for lost Spanish treasure marked on a map that fell into Tom's hands. Then it's back to New York, where they need to deal with those terrorists. Some things work (especially the well-rendered brotherly relationship), but a lot (such as Jack's joyfully racist mafioso buddy Joey) fails to connect.

    Repairman Jack Lite

    Disappointing. I had eagerly looked forward to the newest entry in the Repairman Jack series. However, once I began reading it, I sensed what had happened in other book series(by other writers) was now happening in this one. I call this malady the 'Lite-ening' up of the plots and main character. The stories gets less complex and seem to be written by a computer program. At first glance, all the elements that appeared in the earlier stories are there, but when the reader is finished, he doesn't feel satisfied. Like I said - 'Lite'. Then, there is the 'Lite-ening' of the character, Repairman Jack. Mr. Wilson has now almost totally domesticated Jack. The presence of a girl friend and her daughter used to be merely a distraction. In this story, they have become central characters. The readers understand that Jack is basically a good guy. We don't need to be reminded every other page of his capacity to love. A character like Jack works better as a disaffected urban loner. Giving him an almost sickeningly sweet domestic life takes his character in way the wrong direction. This is what should happen in the last book of the series. Another book like this one and it may BE the last, at least for me.

    Another Great Work by F. Paul Wilson

    Fans of Jack have come to recognize his stories as a mix of action, suspense, deception, and intrigue. However this story takes a different approach, where there isn't the usual amount of gunplay, hand to hand, and grifting, there is no shortage of suspense, deception, and intrigue. The first half of the story is a treasure hunt between two estranged brothers who'd rather have a root canal preformed without the aid of anesthesia than be together, while the other half is sort of countdown to doom. While the clock ticks away you find yourself turning each page wondering what will happen to Jack and his loved ones and how he will figure a way out of this one. Wilson goes back to an old formula that he hasn't used since 'The Tomb' where he takes you back in time, if only for a few pages, to give you a bit of background to a very important part of the story. I personally couldn't put the book down, and kept trying to figure out what the final chapter would bring. Those who read this will not be disappointed, but it isn't a book that newcomers to the Repairman Jack series should read first. With this particular series, it's best to start at the beginning and evolve with Jack.

    Great Repairman Jack

    At La Guardia, a terrorist kills the father of Repairman Jack. That would be enough to cause most souls woes, but the murder of his father causes the non-existent Jack worse troubles as his estranged brother Tom, a corrupt Philadelphia judge on the lam and disparately needing money, persuades Jack that they should go on a trip together. Though he knows better after spending his salad years with his odious sibling, Jack agrees. Tom could not care less if he ever sees Jack again once their trek is over in fact he plans to insure that he never sees Jack again. Tom has an oceanic map that shows the location of a Spanish treasure ship that sunk off of Bermuda in 1598 he expects Jack to retrieve it. However, instead of booty, Jack and Tom haul up a weird skin covered object, the Lilitongue of Gefreda that the ancients claim enables a person to evade their enemies, but leaves the ¿user¿ inside of the ¿Otherness¿. Not trusting his sibling, Jack believes this object was what Tom sought, but why eludes the Repairman who plans to find out one way or another. Repairman Jack is at his refreshing best in his ninth adventure as fans receive a close look at family members, somewhat less his dad as compared with his loathsome brother. The story line is action packed from the opening scene at the airport to the high seas and to the activation of the device. Readers will appreciate F. Paul Wilson¿s latest caper starring one of the great literary legends of the past decade or so. Harriet Klausner
