\"\"<\/a>The tenth Repairman Jack novel things are beginning to come to a head as finds Jack at odds with the entities that have wreaked such havoc in his life.<\/p>\n

Abe is still trying to find a new identity for Jack, and a way for him to reenter society. But Jack himself is still reeling from the events of the past two books and hasn’t worked since then. However, one of the regulars at Julio’s asks Jack to help him find his niece–a good girl who was snatched on the way to school. The police think she’s probably a runaway, and so won’t act, but Timmy is desperately afraid something terrible is about to happen, and begs Jack to help.<\/p>\n

Jack’s search for the girl introduces him to the Oculus and the Yeniceri, and brings Jack’s past forcefully into the future.<\/p>\n

The tone of Harbingers<\/em> is extremely dark. Not that the other books haven’t been dark, but it seems as if the accumulated deaths are starting to catch up with Jack and he’s starting to lose the ability to act rationally.<\/p>\n

If you were already reading the Repairman Jack novels, there’s no way you’re stopping any time soon. If you haven’t read a Repairman Jack novel, don’t start here. Go back to the beginning and read your way forward.
