What Was Your First F. Paul Wilson Book? - Ken Valentine - 10-16-2010
flyingfox Wrote:I guess when it was published.EXCELLENT!
I was a member of a book club, saw it and thought that looks an interesting read. Loved it and every FPW book since.
I don't have the LaNagrefjugjdiksujfnkc Chronicles, what are they about and any good?
And that's an understatement.
As for what they are about:
AN ENEMY OF THE STATE is about overthrowing the "Imperium." A bloodless revolution on the ""Out Worlds."
HEALER is about a man who is strangely endowed with two separate minds, and his life and adventures over a couple thousand years.
WHEELS WITHIN WHEELS is about an interstellar business woman and her struggle to keep the interstellar market, a free market.
DYDEETOWN WORLD is about a crusty, down-and-out private detective.
(That's enough for now.)

The Keep. Probably about 1985. My brother had it, and I was bored. Was hooked after that. I guess I would have been 21 then. I have re-read it a couple of times. Love it! Going nuts for night world revised. 2012 is a long way off. Fortunate that the world doesnt really end until December of that year. Should give us all enough time to read it once or twice..............Stupid Myans!

The Tomb. My cousin turned me on to Repairman Jack a few months ago, telling me about the series and all the books related to it (Adversary Series, etc.) I was intrigued so I went out and bought it. Couldn't put it down and couldn't wait to get the rest of the RJ books. I think I went through everything up to Ground Zero in a couple weeks.
Reading the blog I've come to realize how much I've forgotten. I need to go back and reread everything again. I've been tempted to read Nightworld but I'm holding off. The suspense may kill me before this is over with.

The Keep. I'd seen some of the movie at that point. I knew it was crap and everyone said the book was great, so I bought it.
I was disappointed that most of his books were part of something called the "repairman jack" series. I'd always hated series. Dirk Pitt, jack Ryan. Blah, blah. They've all sucked.
Still, I thought it would at least be worth reading the first one.
The rest, as they say, is history

Yes it is. It's "The Fifth Harmonic" and it is a very good adventure. Trying thinking.... Medicene Man plus Indianna Jones. Paul realy get's into "mind over matter" in this book. Personally I loved it!

Legacies. I'd tried to read The Keep when I was 14, but it wasn't enough to keep my interest. I didn't read that until I was an adult. But after Legacies I saw the website on the last page and discovered there was a whole series going on. I went back, read The Keep then leapt on the 3rd book.

The Tomb
What Was Your First F. Paul Wilson Book? - Wicce - 10-21-2010
my first exposure to Repairman Jack came when my next door neighbor ran out of Dean Koontz books that he was rabidly reading and asked at Borders for something else and the guy there recommended "The Tomb."
After my neighbor finished it, he passed it along to me. We've since devoured every other book in the RJ series, and he also got "Reborn" and loaned that to me too. Initially he was buying them all and loaning them to me, but he wasn't getting them IN ORDER (growl) so I had to start buying them myself because I am online and he's not, so I had Amazon access and he didn't.
Between us we now have all the RJ books and are working on completing our own separate sets.
I think I've become even more obsessed than he is. =)
BTW, love "Fatal Error" =) but now I gotta wait a year for the last book!
