This series is the perfect popcorn book. Can’t make any complaints about that. This was moved way slower than it should have given the characters are not idiots. It was so annoying I had to put the book down for a bit. But it did eventually pick up and I was on the edge of my seat at the end.

Another great novel! This book relates back to Conspiracies and addresses the larger plot of the book series.

Another great book involving the continuing fight against "the otherness".
Wilson continues the story of Repairman Jack as he continues his struggle to right wrong while at the same time remain anonymous.

A lot happens in this book.
We meet Jack's sister who has been mentioned a few times.
Jack becomes a hero, the last thing he wants to be.
The first introduction of "Mother"
Very dark ending.

While not as entertaining as some other Repairman Jack novels, this was certainly an enjoyable novel and kept me turning the pages.

The main plot is finally getting going! Crazy X-Files action! I'm just torn because I feel like I should have read some of the Adversary Cycle first.

A bit slow compared to some of the other books in the series. I was a bit annoyed at how long it took Jack to come around to realize what exactly was going on. Still a solid story, but newcomers to the series should probably start at the beginning as there are a number of elements and character developments that won't make much sense if you have not read previous books.
