By The Sword
by F. Paul Wilson
Forge Press, October 2008, $25.95
Mystery? Sci fi/fantasy? Action thriller? A hybrid? For the multitude of Repairman Jack fans it doesn’t matter how it is labeled, what’s important is the story itself and the adventures of Jack as he fights the evil “Adversary” in his quest to save the world. What world you ask? According to author Wilson “a world that remains undiscovered, unexplored and unknown to most of humanity.” If you are a follower of this series then no explanation needed, but if you have never before indulged, now is the chance to learn. By The Sword is a follow-up to the previous Repairman Jack novel, Bloodline, and the story follows right along as if there were no break. Even so, it can be easily read as a standalone because Wilson is a savvy, talented writer who provides needed exposition without interrupting the flow of the story line.
Jack is hired to find a stolen katana (sword) that survived the Hiroshima bombing and apparently has more powers than King Arthur’s Excalibur. He has to fight off others who, for various reasons, are also after the sword. They include an ancient Japanese Cult who can produce a kuroikaze (black wind) that kills all living creatures in its path, but cannot “bend trees”; a world wide gang of “Kickers,” who have tainted DNA in their blood; a powerful Japanese conglomerate; and even Rasalom, the evil one himself. They are also searching for Dawn, a teenage girl who has been impregnated by one of the leaders of the Kickers and whose baby holds “the key to the future.” Jack maneuvers all these parties into one bloody, explosive and exciting winner-take-all-climax, which ties up most of the loose ends but still leaves plenty for the next book.
