"Another very good book in this series. I am really liking the level of depth that each successive story takes on. Elements of previous stories are added to create more texture."
"I was surprised by how much I liked this book. I've had it for a long time and somebody wanted to mooch it so I thought I'd scan it before giving it away.
I ended up cruising through its 488 pages in three days.
The story is well plotted and moves along quickly. The characters, especially Repairman Jack and the villains are well-drawn and fun to read about.
The introduction of a mysterious group called "The Others" who come from "Otherness" was a plot device the story did not actually need but it did help the reader make sense of the drug "Bezerk" that changed its molecular structure and lost its hallucinatory properties every new Moon.
Without having read other books in the Repairman Jack series, I suspect that strange creatures from "Otherness" are part of every story and help explain why Jack gets called in to fix things when the weirdness starts.
The ending was neatly done, tying up the loose ends without straining credibility.
I will undoubtedly try another Repairman Jack story and maybe some of F. Paul Wilson's other titles."
"Book Four of the Repairman Jack series picks up a month after the previous installment, though aside from a handful of callbacks, this really doesn't matter too much. Fans of the series should remain satisfied, though the ambiguous ending may disappoint a bit, as Jack is messing the Rakosh again, though this time a lot more indirectly. Yes, there's a mystery drug making people homicidal, and you just know this won't ultimately sit well with Jack, especially if it in any way may threaten Gia or Vicky, neither of whom seem to be much of a presence this time around, oddly enough given this is a longer novel than the previous ones."
