<p>Rage, terror, and redemption: these are the stones upon which F. Paul Wilson builds the concluding chapter of Repairman Jack: The Early Years, the prequel trilogy focusing on the formative years of Wilson's globally popular supernatural troubleshooter.</p><p>The strands of Jack's life, established in the first two books,<i> Cold City</i> and <i>Dark City</i>, are now woven into a complete pattern. </p><p>Centered around an obscure group of malcontents intent on creating a terrible explosion in New York City in 1993, <i>Fear City</i> shows the final stages of young Jack becoming Repairman Jack. It is a dark and terrible story, full of plots and needless mayhem, with secret agents, a freelance torturer, a secret society as old as human history, love, death, and a very bleak triumph. Jack threads his way through this intricate maze, as people he loves are stripped away from him in a way that presages the later epic series of novels.</p>
