Repairman Jack, F. Paul Wilson's vigilante hero first seen in the New York Times best seller The Tomb, returns in a thriller that thrusts Jack back into the weird, supernatural world that he thrives in. Looking for clues to the mysterious disappearance of leading conspiracy theorist Melanie Ehler, Jack attends a convention of bizarre and avid conspiracy theorists. It's a place where aliens are real, the government is out to get you, and the world is hurtling toward an inevitable war of good versus evil incarnate.
Jack finds that nobody can be trusted - and that few people are what they seem. Worse yet, Jack's been having vivid dreams that make him wonder whether he's headed for a clash with his own past - maybe The Tomb's evil rakoshi beasts aren't through with him quite yet.

I continue to be amazed by the quality of work coming from F. Paul Wilson. While I still favour his quick reads like The Terry, Healer, Virgin, or Wheels Within Wheels most of the time the Repairman Jack series is amazing. What gets to me is Wilson's ability to avoid getting stuck in a rut or repeating himself. All of the first five books in the series are wonderful but all show sufficient variety to be fresh even though Wilson uses a similar formula as the driver of plot through all of his novels.For those who are not familiar with Wilson's series, Repariman Jack is a 'fixer' who makes wrong things right. While his family is mistakenly under the impression that he is an underachiever who fixes appliances his customers depend on him to get out of some serious trouble. Jack lives off the grid in NY City. He has no real driver's license, no social security number, no passport, and no ID of any kind that can be found in a government database. He gets paid in cash and 'saves' by taping gold coins to his plumbing pipes. He uses guns when he needs to but prefers to settle matters with the least amount of violence possible. In Conspiracies we see Wilson fill in some of the details that were missing in The Tomb and are introduced to another important character who will make more appearances in later novels. Wilson is not a 'great writer' as far as your literature professors are concerned but to normal readers who want to enjoy a book with interesting characters, a good plot, and unusual ideas Wilson's books are more than good enough.

Conspiracies A Repairman Jack Novel Book 3 (Audible Audio Edition) F Paul Wilson Christopher Price Brilliance Audio Books Reviews
I only recently started reading the Repairman Jack novels and after the 3rd one I have to say they're okay but nothing special. I will probably read the rest of the series as I usually do when I start on a new author, but aside from the Repairman Jack stories, I doubt that I will read any other work by this author. I just don't care much for the "horror" element.
All of the Repairman Jack books are well worth reading, but this one stands out as one of the best.
I love all the Repairman Jack stories, and this one is no exception. I got re-hooked on them recently when I downloaded a collection of short stories by F. Paul Wilson all starring Jack, and that did it. I had to reread them all, and that's just what I'm doing. I love the way Wilson makes his characters so real. You get involved with them as you read and by the end you feel like they are old friends. Conspiracies is full of whacky people and situations, all of which is right up Jack's alley. So, if you want to step out of reality for a while and get into Jack's world of anything goes reality, then you will love this book.
Wilson's 3rd entry in the Repairman Jack series is easily the most humorous of the books, but is also the most disappointing. Readers who laugh at the headlines in the Enquirer and Weekly World News will get a kick out of the outlandish conspiracy buffs Jack meets at a convention. But if you're a reader who enjoyed Jack's repair work from the first two novels you will most likely be disappointed, as Wilson seems to have included a couple of incidents here mainly due to an editorial edict.
This book ties Repairman Jack into the Adversary Cycle neatly, and connects the Rakoshi from 'The Tomb' and the broadcast power angle from 'Legacies' neatly together. I would have given the book four stars, but found the ending to be extremely disappointing.
I will continue to read the series, and hope the suspense gets turned up a notch in the next few books.
Do you enjoy well-paced, taut thrillers with an edge of supernatural horror that slowly emanates out of the dark corners of your peripheral vision, leaping at you with a crash-bang of existentially terrifying goodness? Then F. Paul Wilson is for you and this work in particular is stellar. A handful of days and a colorful cast of side characters surround Repairman Jack, who is fully and consciously pulled into the cosmic conflict at the heart of the Secret History of the World, with stakes both epic and personal.
Over the years, F. Paul Wilson has written quite a few books (over thirty, based on the list at the beginning of my edition of Conspiracies). Many of these books fit into a single world where a dark force known as the Otherness wreaks havoc, especially with its primary agent, The Adversary. Among these books is the series featuring Repairman Jack, a sort-of urban vigilante who rights wrongs, but usually only for cash. Although the first Repairman Jack book - The Tomb - is also considered part of Wilson's Adversary Cycle, the link is not immediately apparent. It is with Conspiracies that Jack is finally drawn into the broader Otherness mythology (and in which The Tomb's link is finally explained).
Conspiracies is the third Repairman Jack book, following the aforementioned Tomb and the nonsupernatural Legacies. In this novel, Jack is hired by Lew Ehler, whose wife has disappeared. At first, this seems like a simple case, even though Jack thinks Lew is crazy since his wife Melanie disappeared, Lew only got one message from her, through his TV, telling him to hire Jack.
Melanie is a member of SESOUP, an organization whose members believe in various conspiracies. There are believers in UFP conspiracies, "New World Order" conspiracies, Satanic cults and other fringe ideas. Shortly before her disappearance, Melanie was going to propose a Grand Unified Theory that would tie all the various ideas together. Since some of SESOUP's members are not all that stable, anything that threatens their own theories may cause them to go over the edge; this, at least, is what Jack thinks. There is also SESOUP's head, Salvatore (or Sal) Roma, a person who Jack finds rather sinister (and whose name holds a hidden significance for readers of Wilson's other books).
This simple missing persons case turns out to be anything but simple, as strange, supernatural events occur and Jack is plagued by very realistic nightmares (involving events from The Tomb). There is the strange device that appears in Jack's hotel room, the evil monkey familiar of Roma's and the very mysterious men in black.
One big theme in this book is Wilson's general indictment of these grand conspiracies. Most of the ones presented within (which are similar to some very real ones) demonstrate the paranoia of the theorists. At the same time, Wilson is not overly harsh, and presents many of the SESOUP members as somewhat disturbed but also sympathetic.
Admittedly, I started this series with book seven (Gateways) before backtracking to The Tomb, so I can see some of the directions Wilson is going in. This book stands alone as a good story, while also drawing the reader into something bigger. As is typically the case, this is well written and a real page-turner. Although it does stand alone, I think this works best for readers of The Tomb and Legacies; for such readers, this book should be quite enjoyable.
