By the Sword: Repairman Jack #12 Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Sweet! Nerve wracking and fun. Spellbinding seems applicable. "

" A Repairman Jack novel that ties several different Jack adversaries-an evil sect from the Black Wind novel, my favorite F Paul Wilson novel; the kickers; and Mr. Osala which is an anagram for Rasalom, a Japanese conglomerate- in an adventure to retrieve a sword forged from a primary metal, and rescue pregnant Dawn. Gaekon (sp) appears and Abe and Julio, several familiar characters. Gia, Jack's love interest, and her daughter Vicky usually seem out of place and nearly superfluous to the plots, and are my least favorite characters. Except for them, I enjoyed the story, and the underlying tale of the Hidden History and the man who dreams the history, Mr. Wilson conveys the story well. "

" This novel picks up right where Bloodline leaves off and features some of the same characters. Central to this story is the Matsumune Gaijin, the name given to a rare Japanese sword (Katana). This particular sword was forged from a meteorite in the 14th century by Matsumune for a "foreigner" (Gaijin). Jack is hired to locate and obtain the sword which was recently stolen on Maui and taken to New York City. Jack's not the only one after the sword--the others are Hank Thompson, the leader of the "Kicker" cult; a mysterious Japanese cult, the "Kakureta Kao", and the Chairman of a large Japanese holding company, the Kaze Group. Pretty interesting storyline with Jack meeting Glaecken, a nearly-immortal combatant in the fight against the "Otherness". "

" Another great RJ story. I wish I had known about the tie-in with the novel "Black Wind." I've had it sitting on my shelf for a couple of years. "

" Good story, and the end of the series is coming! "

" Usual fixits that Jack manages to get himself into. F. Paul doesn't know how to write a bad Jack book. After all the manifesto was all written in his head. He just broke it up for us, so we could afford it. :-) I heart F. Paul. "

" that Wilson writes an interesting yet spooky yarn and okay for one of those quick reads "

" A good story but jack always seems to be left behind in the later novels, with the large story arc, it seems like jack is just a player rather than the main lead. Still its jack's universe so that makes the books good to read, once again thou Gia and Vicky take a almost non-existent "

" It took awhile to get hooked (about 1/2 way through) and then the story took off, it was a great way to end it since these last couple of books will be the end of the series. I am sad to hear they will be ending the series, I have enjoyed reading each and every one of the repairman Jack books. "

" Fast pace but the background story is coming to the front & gradually taking over. "

" Everything starts coming together with this one! Very busy storyline, lots of antagonists, and we see some people who are rumored and hinted about before. The return of the Kaze Group, a strange Japanese cult, another strange ASFO-connected group, and Dawn Pickering all feature prominently... "

" One of the best in the series. Nice to know Wilson can still pull it off. Lord of the Rings meets Pulp Fiction. "

" This book ties together Black Wind and Repairman Jack, so now I'm going to have to circle back and read that. Because I can't stop reading F. Paul Wilson's stuff. "

" All Repairman Jack books are good but unfortunately none really stand out anymore. "

" Nancy 4 stars; Ron xx stars "

" I'm getting ready for the climactic resolution, coming soon "

" Latest Repairman Jack, following Bloodlines "

" Loving that as the series moves along, more and more of the overall story is revealed in each novel. Can't wait to read the next one. Jack has become one of my absolute favorite literary inventions. "

" Sweet! Nerve wracking and fun. Spellbinding seems applicable. "

" An exciting thriller with sci-fi infusion. At times it got very crowded with almost too much action., probably why it was never a movie. "

" Interesting book. Jack continues to please even tho it's a mess of messed up madness. Wilson tends to throw you down whirlpools unanticipated yet to me, thoroughly exciting. What can i say? I'm biased! Loved it and loving them all! "

" Love this series. Wacky and weird. If you haven't read a Reapirman jack book, try one out. Quite a ride. In this one, he's getting closer to the "Secret histories of the World" and finds out he has oDNA, some forn of mutant. Whether this igood or bad, don't quite know. "

" I know I have thought this before even though I don't recall saying it . I really like the idea of the fixer character in Repairman jack but with each novel he goes deeper into the supernatural and that isn't something I have ever read much of. "

" The last in the Repairman Jack series and the least of the series. All the others were great and this one was just "so so." It was like Wilson just churned it out to make a deadline. He's capable of better. "

" Do you really need to review a Repairman Jack book? A fast-paced, entertaining read, as always. The loose ends are starting to come together. Wilson is preparing us for the end. "
