Jack is inadvertently involved in a street brawl caused by a designer "rage" drug, which is being created from the blood of the last surviving Rakesh. There is also a good deal of corporate greed and a little bit of Russian mob psychos too. Good, fast-paced thriller. ( ) Repairman Jack is a man who has lived without an identity for most of his life. When police and other authorities are no help, people hire Jack. He stops bad guys from doing harm. He doesn't like publicity, so it's word of mouth for people to find him. Junie needs a ride to visit Ifasen, a psychic. Jack and his girlfriend Gia give Junie a ride and sit in on the session. While there, an earthquake happens, centered under the psychic's house. An evil spirit/ghost starts doing damage in the house and scaring people. Ifasen believes other psychics are trying to run him out of town because he took some of their clients. He's been shot at and almost hit by a car. He also believes the spirit/ghost may be a trick by the other psychics. Ifasen hires Jack to stop them. More pieces of the "Otherness" puzzle are given here, but the complete story has yet to be revealed. A good plotline to keep readers coming back for more. This installment of Repairman Jack lost me in places. Like Legacies, I didn't feel like I got enough of Jack. The other characters took up too much page time and some of the - Nadia, Doug, and Luc - were just so unlikeable that I didn't care if they lived or died. Nadia and Doug weren't evil - just the opposite. They were good - too good, and I kind of wanted them to get eaten. This book's connection to the rest of the series also seems thin. Yeah, a Rakosh is involved, but only peripherally. I'm going to continue with the series, but I hope more of the books are Jack-centric. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Can you imagine a new chemical compound, a non addictive designer drug that heightens your assertiveness, opens the door to your primal self, giving you an edge wherever you compete, whether on the street or the football field, in a classroom or a boardroom? Wouldn't you be tempted to try it...just once? What happens if it releases uncontrollable rage and makes you a killer? "Wilson skillfully juggles subplots whose unpredictable collisions and complications further accelerate the relentless momentum of Jack's labors.... A satisfying open-ended climax sets the stage for yet another chapter in Jack's compelling saga." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) on All the Rage Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
