I am in love with Repairman Jack. If I ever got into a bind he is surely the one that I would want to help me. I am so sad that this series will be ending after the next book but I do understand. Mr. Wilson has been warning us for a long time so there is no use getting mad at him.
You can read Fatal Error as a standalone but I would not recommend it. There is so much back story that you would miss out on knowing if you started here. Yes, you can still enjoy the book but for me anyway I don't think I would have enjoyed it so much. I have a history with Jack, Gia, Abe, The Lady, etc, etc, etc.
This is quite a fast moving page turner. It only took me as long as it did to read it because I was savoring it. Big changes are coming and I am holding my breath for the next book. If you never read any Repairman Jack books I suggest you go right to your library and check out The Tomb.

Not as gripping as previous entries in this series. I'm losing interest in the series...too much paranormal, too bleak, too unbelievable.

I cannot believe that I only have a few more books left in this series. The author recommends reading "The Adversary Cycle" before the next Repairman Jack book, so I think I will do that. F. Paul Wilson, so far these have been great--I hope the payoff is worth it!

Couple of unexpected things happened in this book that I didn't see coming and don't know how they relate to the story because no more coincidences. But still one of the better Jack books. I'm excited and bummed about being so close to the end of this series.

A worthy edition to the Repairman series, with Jack back to his usual rage-filled protectiveness and chafing at the chains of a promise of not going after his central adversary. While I agree with some critics that this reads almost like a tv episode to fill in the space between books it does further the plot along nicely, lets Jack be himself in relation to his family and throws in some points sure to be used in the last couple books to the series. With that in mind the story is great entertainment.

If you're already 14 books in to Repairman Jack, you know what you're in for. Just dive in and devour it. We're hurtling towards The Dark At the End, and you know as well as I do that you just want to know how this all shakes out.

A breath of dark Heir. "Just Jack." No repairman here. Could use a couple dashes of Abe.

I love the Repairman Jack books, despite their darkness, because Jack is just such a great character. The next book in the series will be the last one, and I expect a lot from it. I think that coming end affected this book a bit negatively though - it seemed like a lot of the story was setting up for the climax, and it felt less like a complete narrative than most of this series. Still good though.
The situation is becoming complex - in the early books you might be able to read one in isolation, but this is not the one. If you like dark/urban fantasy/apocalyptic with a strong hero who is protective of his friends, girlfriend and family, mostly moral but prone to violence as an answer and faces arcane foes without superpowers of his own, you might enjoy these. Begin with the first one though.
