The Tomb by F. Paul Wilson

5.0

I've read a few of Wilson's stand alone books and have enjoyed them immensely. I've looked forward to the first of the Repairman Jack series and I wasn't disappointed. Most of Wilson's books center on a secret history that most people are unaware of. These secret histories often have some sort of mystical or mythical component that dovetails seamlessly into traditional history, much in the manner of Tim Powers, though usually with a darker tone. Think urban fantasy for guys. While there are love interests in this first book, it is most definitely not the focus of book.

I've been eager to see how Wilson will handle a series of books over an extended time. If this first book is any indication, it should be a wild ride.
