Nightworld

By: F. Paul Wilson

Narrated by: Christopher Price

Length: 15 hrs and 33 mins

Publisher's Summary

The end of the world begins at dawn, when the sun rises later than it should. Then the holes appear. The first forms in Central Park, within sight of an apartment where Repairman Jack and a man as old as time watch with growing dread. Gaping holes, bottomless and empty…until sundown, when the first unearthly, hungry creatures appear.

Nightworld brings F. Paul Wilson’s Adversary Cycle and Repairman Jack saga to an apocalyptic finale as Jack and Glaeken search the Secret History to gather a ragtag army for a last stand against the Otherness and a hideously transformed Rasalom.

Best series ever

Just so sad to reach the end. Sure wish there were more of these books. Might be my all time favorite series.

great finish

I first started this series back a few years ago, and the last book was so dark, I just didn't finish it then. In fact, I didn't make it very far into it.

Wow was that a mistake. The author did a great job of tying the loose ends together and coming up with a great conclustion to the series. I just bought the teen jack series on Kindle for more background, too, so I'm not done with jack yet.

This is the greatest contemporary story ever told.

F Paul Wilson is a master story teller that not only understand tension, pacing and characters, his world is a thrilling place to be. This Repairman Jack series is one of my favorite stories in creation. I wish there were 30 books.

If this ever happened you would be terrified!

Would you consider the audio edition of Nightworld to be better than the print version?

Never read the print version but enjoyed listening to this book!!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Glaken, was my favorite character. Old and dedicated to his wife, and to the cause.

Which scene was your favorite?

Allen fighting the chew bugs and centipedes trying to be quiet so his wife and son would here him die!! He was a hero!!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Kolabati finally realized that Jack wasn't lying about what was happen in the world and she took off her necklace and laid down and asked Glaken to stay with her as she passed on. Bill and Carol's reunion and love making was pretty good too.

Strong Characters Predictable story

Writer builds the characters very well. Narration lacking in inflection, character differences. I found the story very predictable, and the end very strung out.

The Epic Conclusion

What made the experience of listening to Nightworld the most enjoyable?

The resolution of plotlines laid out over a couple dozen novels.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jack is always a favorite. He is like an old friend after more than a dozen novels.

Which scene was your favorite?

The final battle with Rasalom. An epic ending to an epic story.

If you could rename Nightworld, what would you call it?

The End Of The World As We Know It

Any additional comments?

I have followed Repairman Jack from his first appearance in The Tomb and The Adversary Cycle since The Keep. It all comes together here...all of it. Having just finished this final chapter, I feel exhausted by the sheer immensity of the story. These stories are the very definition of the term: Epic.

Overall, a fantastic series. Thank you FPW!!!

This ends the Repairman Jack series for me. One of my favorites that I burn through annually. Christopher Price is the voice I prefer for Jack & he does an amazing job with the rest. The only bummer in this book is the mispronounced Hawaiian words. It's painful for me to listen to. I try to ignore it but I can't, it's bad. Wasn't a problem when I was reading it. I'll still listen to it & just cringe my way through.

Great story

I had read this book about 10 years ago and only remembered the parts about the bugs. I really liked the characters and the way they were brought together. I also really like the way the "forces in the universe" were explained.

is there going to be more Repair man Jack

I sure hope so. look like I am fixed on RJ repairs I hope he be back because I'm sure Rasalon will find way to get back and it's jack's job to run him away again.....I sure hope so 16...17......18th books

Strong Start, Dull Finish

Dispite the ongoing hatred I have for Willsons injection of "The Otherness" into what would have otherwise been a phenomenal franchise of Repair Man Jack and his fixes, this book kept pace and interest for most of the story. Sadly, the anticlimactic end drags on and on to a point where you don't really care if a Racoshi jumps out and castrates Jack and Glaken together, as long as a conclusion is reached.

If you've made it through the series, you have to read this one. If not, pick up Cold City and Dark Cuty, it's all Jack and Fixes (with a few Annoyances).

A good read

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

As the ending to the Adversary Cycle and Repairman Jack stories it closes the series very well.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jack, being torn between his family and his part in the fight make him an excellent character,.

Which character – as performed by Christopher Price – was your favourite?

Pretty much all of them, the voice acting was excellent

Any additional comments?

A very good book, its not a stand alone one, and requires at least reading the Adversary Cycle . With the wealth of characters from previous stories of the Repairman Jack stories it finishes things off very nicely.

What did you like best about this story?

all of it and remembering what happened in in the previous books
