Now to visit one of my (now) favorite authors, F. Paul Wilson, and his book ‘Gateways‘.  This is one of the Repairman Jack series.

This book in a great continuation of the story, and the characters, that readers of the Repairman Jack books have come to know.  For those unfamiliar with them, Jack is a “fix it” man who takes care of the problems that just can’t be handled in a, well, normal manner.

These stories remind me quite a lot of the old pulp fiction paperbacks of my dad’s (my what a journey that find in the basmement started!) – take one rough and tumble guy who’s not afraid to use a gun and right wrongs, throw in a healthy dose of suspense and the supernatural, and you’ve got yourself a good time.

I heartily enjoyed this book, and seem to finish these in no time at all.  If you’ve ever read a Doc Savage or Nick Carter – Killmaster pulp novel, you should feel right at home in this series.
