4.0 out of 5 starsJack's back!
By Robert Beveridge HALL OF FAMEVINE VOICE on June 28, 2001
Format: Mass Market Paperback
F. Paul Wilson, Legacies (Tor, 1998)

Wilson brings back one of his hardcore fans' favorite characters, Repairman Jack, and weaves three of Jack's jobs into a tightly-wound tale of family manipulation and, as always, saving the world one step at a time.

This time, Jack is employed by longtime on-again-off-again girlfriend Gia to recover a roomful of toys stolen from a children's AIDS crisis center, which leads him into the employ of the head of the center. She just inherited a house, and she wants Jack to burn it down. Jack's curiosity gets the best of him, and he starts wondering why. There the fun begins.

If you're familiar with Wilson's work, you're getting what you've come to expect. Easy reading, a pace that wouldn't be out of place in a formula 1 racecar, likable characters (even the bad guys), and a dose of the supernatural, albeit a smaller one than in most of Wilson's work. If you haven't discovered the joys of F. Paul yet, start back at the beginning of our first encounter with Jack, the Nightworld books (The Keep, The Tomb, The Touch, Reborn, Reprisal, and Nightworld) to get up to speed. He's not as well known as some of the authors working in the supernatural-thriller field, but he's just as good. *** 1/2

4.0 out of 5 starsJack is Righteous!
By Brian D. Rubendall HALL OF FAME on December 17, 2000
Format: Mass Market Paperback
The second novel in F. Paul Wilson's Repairman Jack series has a complex and occasionally violent storyline worthy as a sequel to the great 1984 novel "The Tomb." Unlike the former novel, however, this one does not take a supernatural turn. Instead it unfolds like a highly unconventional private detective tale, with plenty of twists and turns along the way. As a tarnished white knight operating on the wrong side of the law, Jack is similar to Andrew Vachss's classic character Burke. My only quibble with the novel is that the characters of Gia and Vicky, the mother and daughter Jack saved in "The Tomb" are held over here but add little if anything to the story. With all that he's been through, Jack ought to be far too emotionally shattered to ever form a stable relationship. This aspect of the novel goes nowhere, other than to provide Jack with some highly unlikely domestric tranquility.
Nevertheless, fans of "The Tomb" will find plenty to like, especially in the unique ways that Jack finds to defeat his adversaries. As such, it is another winner for Wilson.

4.0 out of 5 starsJACK IS BACK...
By lawyeraau HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on September 13, 2011
Format: Kindle Edition
For those readers who were introduced to the character of Repairman Jack in the author's novel, "The Tomb", this is the second book in the Repairman Jack series of books. For the uninitiated, Repairman Jack is not an appliance repairman. He is simply an intriguing character who fixes situations for other people. Naturally, his is a cash only business.

When Dr. Alicia Clayton runs into a personal situation that has flummoxed her, she turns to Repairman Jack for assistance. Dr. Clayton has just inherited a house from her father, a man whom she loathed. Her half-brother is contesting the will, and for some reason he will stop at nothing to get the house. The problem is that the people she hires to battle her brother end up getting killed. Just why does her brother want this house so badly? Moreover, why does Alicia not want to even sell the house to her brother? Well, therein lies the tale.

The way the story unravels keeps the reader turning the pages, wanting to know what is the secret that the house holds that has everyone pulling out all the stops to get at it. It is a gripping, entertaining read that is pretty much totally plot driven, as there is little character development. Still, it is an intriguing story in the telling, though the end is a bit anticlimactic and somewhat of a letdown. Fans of the author, as well as fans of Repairman Jack, will enjoy this book.

3.0 out of 5 starsGood Thriller
By EdHopper on May 30, 2000
Format: Mass Market Paperback
I saw this book and saw it was a sequel so decided to buy The Tomb to start the series out from the beginning (which you don't need to do).
I was disappointed that the supernatural element wasn't in this book -- I think when you start the series off with a supernature theme to it, the expectation is that it might remain there. However, this book stands on it's own even still.
I was also disappointed that the relationship between Jack and Gia wasn't explored as in the first book -- Jack is more of the "fix it" man in this book against nasty characters of the Arab world.
The book is good -- not just as good as the first one. I think the author spent too much time away from the characters and this book didn't come off as intimate with the characters as the first.
I plan to read the reveiws of the 3rd and see if it's more like the first and if so, will continue on in the series.

5.0 out of 5 starsRepairman Jack Is Back in a big way!!!!!
By Paul Legerski VINE VOICE on September 22, 1998
Format: Hardcover
LEGACIES brings back one of my favorite characters, Repairman Jack. Jack "fixes" problems for people. He does not exist. A vigillante for hire. In this novel, Jack runs up against an Arab Nation looking to get it's hands on something in Alicia's fathers' house. Trouble is, Alicia's father dies in a plane wreck and she has no intention of ever going back into the house due to some past torment...enter Repairman Jack. After he helps Alicia out on a smaller job, she confides in him that people all around her are dying. There are at least 3 subplots working at all times here and all 3, when connected, make for a supreme read. F. Paul Wilson has outdone himself with great characters, a moving action-filled plot and a few surprises on the way. High Recommendation
