About this audiobook
Repairman Jack, F. Paul Wilson's vigilante hero from the New York Times bestseller The Tomb, returns in a thriller that thrusts him 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.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A little too much of supernatural elements. Interestingly ties in the first book.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Repairman Jack has been called to action to help a husband find his missing wife who has disappeared under rather mysterious circumstances. The woman in question was deeply involved in alien conspiracy theories and was planning to share her findings on a "Grand Unification Theory" with other like-minded individuals. Days before unveiling her theory, she vanishes, but manages to send a message to her husband declaring that only Repairman Jack can help. How does this woman know Jack? Is there more to these conspiracies than unstable individuals parading around wearing tinfoil caps? Jack is sucked into a paranormal world of conspiracies where he must suspend his own beliefs in order to discover the truth.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Repairman Jack finds himself at a convention for conspiracy buffs in search of a man's missing wife. But something very strange is going on....This series is oddly compelling. Their not the best books I ever read, but as soon as I finish one, I'm looking for the next.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This was rather disappointing after the first two Repairman Jack books. It was entirely formulaic: a cliché plot for occult/horror novels; the good guys following exactly in the tracks of behavior and dialog they did in the last novel; Jack on autopilot as a "repairman". I'll give the next volume a try simply because I liked the first two in the series, but it needs to improve beyond this level.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5While "Conspiracies" is the third book in the Repairman Jack series, it actually felt like the true beginning of a series. Where as the previous two books were standalone in story and plot, with "Conspiracies", F. Paul WIlson has sown the seeds to what seems to be a multi-book plot."Conspiracies" also firmly plants the Repairman Jack series in the world of the paranormal and supernatural, contrary to "Legacies". In fact, as the title implies, this book is chock full of conspiracies, MIBs, and mysteries (as one would find in a Dan Simmons novel).Overall, this is another positive and entertaining entry to the Repairman Jack series.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5My favorite of the Repairman Jack series. After this the author got too full of himself and lost a lot of what I loved about RJ books. He turned to pushing issues and causes, clearly anti-God in my opinion. I don't need a book to be Christian or to even mention God to enjoy it, but once you start bashing those who do, or putting God down (which was totally unnecessary in the storyline) you have purposely slapped a lot of readers.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Whoa... Repairman Jack is X-Files meets Punisher with some Tesla for seasoning. I couldn't put this one down. The only thing that would make this series more crafted toward me specifically is if Jack somehow got a kitten as a familiar.
P.S. Even better the second time around. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Really slow starter. Ending is kind of neat but from this book I can't see what all the hub bub is about Repairman Jack.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Oh my! This book was SO good, and I had so much fun reading it! Best of all, it ties together every one of the previous novels while adding new elements to the Adversary Cycle. And parts of it are funny, especially all the crazy conspiracy theories at the crazy conspiracy groups' convention. Don't miss this one, but DO NOT read until you have read all of these (in this order): The Keep/The Tomb/The Touch/Legacies/Reborn. If you don't, you will be scratching your head going, "huh?" I'm going to be so sad when this all ends, I can tell you. One of the best horror/sci-fi/x-filish type series I've ever read. I was tied in knots there at the end wondering if our hero would be back, and then I had only to look over at my shelf at the unread Repairman Jack books to know "oh duh, yeah, he'll be back." And I cannot wait. I see many hours of reading ahead of me.a brief look:Melanie Ehler, a conspiracy theory high mucky muck in that world has gone missing. But her husband gets in touch with Repairman Jack, and says that Melanie talked to him through the television and told him to contact Repairman Jack, because he'd know what to do. Jack thinks this guy's a crackpot, but he's intrigued. Her husband, Lew, tells him that he might find out some info at an upcoming convention of SESOUP, The Society for the Exposure of Secret Organizations and Unacknowledged Phenomena. It's members only, but Jack makes up a kooky story that gets him in. And there are conspiracy theorists of every brand, flavor, belief...you name it. These parts are hysterical as you read about what each person believes...and Melanie believed that all of this unexplained/unacknowledged phenomena was related in some kind of grand unification -- and actually came up with a theory called the Grand Unification Theory before she left. So Jack stays in the hotel where the convention is being held and weird stuff starts happening, none the least of which are a monkey that hates him, a floating box that arrives in his room during the night, bizarre nightmares and a body that is there then disappears.If you read all of the other books first, then none of this is actually going to seem strange, because you'll be expecting it based on what you've read. This one is really great and I highly recommend it to all Repairman Jack fans. Go get the other books and get started on them so you can read this one!one interesting tidbit: On page 209 there is a mention of the Cthulhu cult as Jack is questioning a fellow conspiracy nut on why he's there at the convention (what his personal theory is).
