The Tomb by F. Paul Wilson

4.0

At the urging of a friend who knew my political leanings, he suggested I read the Repairman Jack series. Unfortunately, I didn't do a lot of research and started reading the series from the "first book" which is actually the second book, and read all the way through the thirteenth. It was clear in reading the series there was another story which I had not read, but I never picked it up until know. I really have liked the Repairman Jack series, but reading The Tomb (Adversary Cycle #2, Repairman Jack #1) at this point in time reminds of many of the little things that I loved about the early series. The recent novels have focused on delivering on the plot line around the overarching Secret History story, and have dropped the details around Jack's life philosophy, idiosyncracies, and inter-personal relationships. As the first book in the series, The Tomb really delivered and reminded me of what I have been missing in the later books.
