About this listen

It starts off simply enough. (Doesn't it always?) Jack has been on hiatus since the tragic events in Harbingers. With his beloved Gia's encouragement he dips his toe back into the fix-it pool.

Christy Pickering's 18-year-old daughter is dating Jerry Bethlehem, a man twice her age. Christy sensed something shady and sinister about him, so she hired a private investigator to look into his past. But the PI isn't returning her calls. Will Jack find out why?

Jack learns there's a very good reason for the unreturned calls: The PI is dead, victim of a bizarre water-torture murder.

As Jack delves into Jerry Bethlehem's past, he finds connections between Bethlehem and the Creighton Institute. The Institute, a government-funded facility, is researching a newly discovered and frightening variation on human DNA. Jack learns that Bethlehem is not the man he pretends to be.

Who - and what - Jerry Bethlehem really is will have a devastating effect on Jack's life and future.

And as the bodies pile up, Jack finds another piece of the puzzle about his own identity and why he's been drafted into a cosmic shadow war.

Where is Christopher Price?

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I enjoyed the story immensely, but why did they get rid of Christopher Price as the narrator? It ruined the audiobook by switching. Dick Hill would have been perfect if this book from the perspective of Jimmy Donuts, but he is no Repairman Jack. Not bashing on Mr. Hill's skill as a narrator. I've heard other books and he was great doing them, but his voice is completely wrong for the character. To replace Price who has been doing this series for so long was just a bad idea.

Don't like the puppetlike characters, new narrator

I've listened to every one of the Jack stories and in this book especially did not care for how predictably the characters made obvious bad choices that would end up in catastrophe for them. I really hate it when characters don't act as reasonable humans would act but instead seem to behave like they're puppets on the authors strings.

Also didn't care at all for the new narrator. His voice work for other characters was OK - but for Jack? No way. Jack's voice sounds like a complete wimp under the new narrator.

Great Story - Poor performance

I love the Repairman Jack books. F. Paul Wilson is a wonderful story teller who always makes you wonder how Jack is going to get out of the jams... but he always manages with finesse.

I don't know if it was this particular book or the performer but it fell short. Dick Hill uses a parody of William Shatner's phrasing breaks that makes it very hard to listen to. I am sure that he gave it his best, and tied to be engaging by whispering and then speaking very loud but it simply didn't work. perhaps the sound mixer or director was to blame. The whisper made you turn up the volume to try to make out the words and then your ears were assaulted by Hill's next shouts.

I had intended to purchase the entire Repairman Jack series of audio books but I will not if the performance is like this one.

I really missed Christopher Price.

Bad narration.. performer cant maintain volume.

The performer changes the tone and volume of his reading so frequently that the listener misses half of what he's saying.

Change in narrator takes a little getting used to

The story was excellent as always. I found the new narrator took little getting use to but that's only because I'm listening back to back

Like the old saying......

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! This was a very, very, very tough listening experience. This narrator does not do justice to the Repairman Jack series. The storyline is solid, but the terrible narrator takes away from the enjoyment of the book!
