This book will appeal ONLY to the Repairman Jack completist, as only those will know what the heck a Rakosh is -- and they will already have this story as part of the 2nd Repairman Jack book, All the Rage. The tale here is literally the same as in that book minus the Rage-drug and Jack's-surrogate-family connections. I cannot figure if this was written first and then expanded into All The Rage, or if it was culled out of All The Rage for a publisher looking to put something-anything with F. Paul Wilson's name on it onto their list.

If you have not already read All The Rage and cannot find a copy, this makes a decent sequel to the first Repairman Jack book. Otherwise, skip it and read All The Rage.

This is not only redundant with the series, it's also really short. Not a novel; not even a novella- it's more like a short story. The page design is pretty, but it uses a huge typeface, generous leading, and surrounding ornaments to take up more room so it look longer than it is.
