Eddie's Fancy

Yes, I know, I’m a sucker for pulp. I also like Lovecraft, what can I say. For a long time I’ve been a fan of F. Paul Wilson and his Repairman Jack series but I just didn’t care for the last two in the series. The resolutions seemed a bit tacked on and didn’t really follow from the rest of the book. But hope springs eternal so I sprung for the paperback version of his new book.

It was a definite improvement over the last few but not up to the level of The Tomb. Using Muslim terrorists as the bad guys seemed a bit too easy and the ending was a bit heartbreaking, but then given the events of Nightworld it probably couldn’t have gone any other way.

The new one, Bloodline, is out in hardback but I think I’ll just wait for the paperback.
