A review by zade
Legacies by F. Paul Wilson

4.0

I'm a late comer to the Repairman Jack series, although I've read other of Wilson's works before. I came to the series through the recently written prequels to the series, only recently diving into the original. Legacies is, for me, a much more enjoyable book than The Tomb, the first Repairman Jack novel. I certainly enjoyed the character of Repairman Jack in the first book, but in this one he seems even more of a stand-up guy and hero than in before. This may be, in part, to the fact that a large part of the plot deals with real-world evil as opposed to the supernatural creatures of The Tomb. Frankly, I find predatory pedophiles far scarier than ancient lizard men and I much more enjoyed seeing Jack take on this real-life threat. It's nice to get a little vicarious revenge now and then. For those who prefer the more fringe elements of Wilson's writing, it's there in this novel as well.
