Reprisal

De: F. Paul Wilson

Narrado por: Kurt Elftmann

"Who am I? Why, I'm you. Or parts of you. The best parts. I'm the touch of Richard Speck, Ed Gein, John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, and Bin Laden in all of you. I am the thousand tiny angers and fleeting rages of your day - at the car that cuts you off on the freeway, at the kid who sneaks ahead of you in line at the movies, at the old fart with the full basket in the eight-items-only express checkout at the supermarket. I'm the nasty glee in the name-callers and the long-suffering pain, the self-loathing, the smoldering resentment, the suppressed rage, and the never-to-be-fulfilled promises of revenge in their targets. I'm the daily business betrayals and the corporate men's room character assassinations. I'm the husband who beats his wife, the mother who scalds her child, I'm the playground beatings of your little boys, the backseat rapes of your daughters. I’m your rage toward a child molester and I'm the pederast's lust for your child, for his own child. I'm the guards' contempt for their prisoners and the prisoners' hatred for their guards, I'm the shank, I'm the truncheon, I'm the shiv. I'm the bayonet in the throat of the political dissident, the meat hook on which he is hung, the cattle prod that caresses his genitals. You've kept me alive, you’ve made me strong. I am you." The immortal evil defeated in The Keep and reincarnated in Reborn has come of age and begun to settle scores. He targets a few unlucky individuals for destruction now, but soon the whole world will suffer. And he will feed on our tears and our pain.

2nd best in the series imo

Wilson is a genius. I was not a fan of Reborn at all, but this story made it better for me

This is such a bad book.

This is such a bad book. Read Repairman Jack Series by this author, instead.

All the story specific characters in this book are difficult to stomach. They’re horrible people who are also written really poorly. The characters make choices or think things (especially in the last 1/3 of the book) that are inconsistent with logic or their prior opinions. The women in this book are written especially poorly.

I’ve listened to thousands of audible books, but this is the first one I’m going to try to return.

I’ve enjoyed the, “repairman jack” series by this author and recommend those instead of continuing with this series.
