Tor Books, November 2012
ISBN: 978-0765330147
The first of three Repairman Jack prequels, revealing the past of one of the most popular characters in contemporary dark fantasy: a self-styled "fix-it" man who is no stranger to the macabre or the supernatural, hired by victimized people who have no one else to turn to.
Cold City is the start of a new trilogy about F. Paul Wilson's incredibly successful character, Repairman Jack. Wilson has written fifteen novels about Jack, and three about his childhood. Cold City picks up on Jack as a young man.
Cold City begins shortly after Jack abandons his family and drops out of college to find his fortune in the Big Apple. There is action and intrigue, and a little bit of mystery. Jack engages in lots of soul searching, trying to find his moral and ethical base. As he finds his direction, he makes decisions that will have a profound effect on the rest of his life.
Once again, F. Paul Wilson provides a solid entry into the Repairman Jack mythos. Cold City begins the Early Years trilogy that bridges the gap between the Young Jack: Secret Histories trilogy and the original Repairman Jack series. Long-time Repairman Jack readers get to see the beginnings of Jack's new life in New York. This book outlines the origins of some of Jack's most important freindships and relationships.
F. Paul Wilson never fails to deliver, and this tale from the initial time that Jack moves to NY and begins to develop the contacts and hone his skillset to become the Repairman Jack that readers have come to enjoy so much in the past doesn't disappoint either.
F. PAUL WILSON , the New York Times bestselling author of the Repairman Jack novels, lives in Wall, New Jersey. In 2008, he won the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement.
