Publisher Description

Repairman Jack has been tearing up the urban adventure scene ever since he was introduced in the New York Times bestseller, The Tomb. Jack has no last name, no social security number, and no qualms when it comes to getting the job done—even if it means putting himself in serious danger.

Hosts starts with a bang when Jack has to stop a psychotic's shooting rampage on a subway car—but there are witnesses, and Jack’s essential anonymity is threatened.

A good deal more is threatened when the lover of Jack’s sister Kate survives a brain tumor, thanks to an experimental treatment, only to join a strange cult called “the Unity.” Now Jack must face a new kind of enemy, a virally-based group mind that wants to take over him, and the world.

“Jack is righteous!” —Andrew Vachss

The Tomb is one of the best all-out adventure stories I’ve read in years.” —Stephen King (President of the Repairman Jack fan club)

"As I started this one, thought I would return it after a few pages but eventually it got my interest. I always forget that this series is a bit of gritty sci-fi."

Quotes

  • “Wilson strolls into X-Files territory and makes it his own, keeping the action brisk and the level of suspense steadily rising.”

    — San Francisco Examiner
  • “Wilson’s fans, who know to expect nonstop action and a hero who can seem a ‘cryptofascist comic book character,’ will no doubt be pleased by the more humanized Jack on display here, as well as an ending that packs an emotional wallop even as it sets the stage for his next eagerly anticipated adventure.”

    " A bit slow compared to some of the other books in the series. I was a bit annoyed at how long it took Jack to come around to realize what exactly was going on. Still a solid story, but newcomers to the series should probably start at the beginning as there are a number of elements and character developments that won't make much sense if you have not read previous books. "

    " It has been many years since I read Repairman Jack- I liked the earlier novels. But this one has elements I don't care for, and both Jack and the doctor seem a little dense. Based on how he operated in this book, it's hard to believe he could "repair" anything. "

    " I didn't feel that this one held up as well as some of the earlier books in the series. Without giving away too much plot, what happened to Jeanette and the others like her struck me as more of a stretch than what happened in the previous books, as the apparent cause in this one was something physical that caused supernatural results. There were also a few more coincidences than I could accept. "

    " This was a better book than the previous one, but I have to be honest that it was difficult to suspend disbelief. There was a nice science fiction-like idea of viral ethics explored, but there was some really outlandish things as well. I don't want to give any spoilers, so I'll leave it at that. "

    " I liked this novel, but would have loved it if not for the weak ending. The author churned out a even paced story. F. Paul Wilson's skills and style have matured as I've worked my way through the "Repairman Jack" series. Each of the books hook you and take you on a wild ride. It's a shame that the finale was "mailed in." "

    " Not horrible but definitely a letdown compared to the previous Repairman Jack books. The plot seemed too scattered and maybe too ambitious and by the end of the book, I was reading to finish just because I had read that far but not because I could not put the book down "

    " This one was just a little too creepy to really enjoy - somehow a virus taking over people's minds and fixing them all together in a mind-meld cult with the only solution being to blow everyone to bits was just dark without relief. Might have to give dear old Jack a break for awhile. "
