Legacies by F. Paul Wilson
4.0
This is the 2nd repairman Jack novel I've listened to with a different narrator. At first I wasn't sure I liked this narrator but he soon grew on me and I really started to like his interpretation of the characters.
In this book Jack's humanity shines through. His girlfriend Gia introduces him to a house that helps children with AIDS and he finds his aversion to AIDS and those with it dwindling as he gets to know the children. He also meets Dr. Alicia Clayton and winds up helping her with a problem she seems to be having.
With themes of drug addicted and abandoned children, children whose parents don't care or want them and those adults whose parents had once used and abused them this book had the feel of an Andrew Vachss novel. Jack becomes the savior of many and his disgust of child abuse and his love of Vicki, Gia's daughter, shine throughout the book.
There is another character that plays in this book a mysterious Japanese man who is tailing some principle players in the book, his take on Jack and Jack's character were very intriguing to me as he called him a Ronin and a warrior. The definition really seems to fit Jack and I'm starting to enjoy this series more and more.
