    About this ebook

    Conspiracies, the second book in the Shadow Grail series by the New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestselling authors Mercedes Lackey and Rosemary Edghill

    Spirit and her friends Burke, Loch, Muirin, and Addie have managed to defeat the evil force that has been killing students at Oakhurst Academy for the past forty years--or so they think. When a series of magical attacks disrupts the school, Doctor Ambrosius calls upon alumnus Mark Rider to secure the campus--and start training the students for war. The only student without magic, Spirit doesn't trust Mark or his methods. She knows that Oakhurst isn't safe. And if Spirit and her friends want to live long enough to graduate, they have to find out what is really going on--before it's too late.

      Another great Repairman Jack story. Here's when we finally learn about "the Other" and "the One". Fortunately, for the sensitive amongst us, there's little but dream-sequence blood and gore. The challenge is to figure out who's on what side--and the two adversaries don't seem very sympathetic, either of them.
    • 4/5
      Jack always finds himself entangled in mysteries that start out normal and quickly turn into something else. Because of this I find myself being reminded of John Connelly's Charlie Parker series particularly because of the good vs. evil aspect of these novels. Jack is starting to question his choice of business and if he wants to continue or if he should try to go straight and just spend time with his girlfriend Gia and her daughter Vicki.In this book Jack attends a convention on conspiracy theories in order to find a conspiracy theorist who disappeared and left a message for her husband that said to find Jack and that Jack is the only one who could help. The description of the convention and the people who attend it were spot on what you would expect at one of these convention and the stories are hilarious. Despite a brutal murder at the convention and a missing body the convention itself leads only to more questions and Jack's dry sense of humor keeps the book moving as the mystery gets weirder.While Jack is searching for Melanie he starts getting strange packages that show up in his hotel room without anyone having brought them. The scars he got in The Tomb (Adversary Cycle/Repairman Jack) book 1 also take center stage in this book. Do the Rakoshi have something to do with this womans disappearance?These books are constantly evolving and changing and keep getting better. Jack's rye and sarcastic sense of humor and comments just make me chuckle and keep the weird and brutal on a lighter level.

      Repairman Jack is hired for a simple job which, of course, becomes more complicated. An off-the-grid kinda guy, Jack is the guy you go to when you can't go to the cops. This mystery somehow involves infiltrating a convention of conspiracy theorists, people even more paranoiad than himself. Typically fast-moving, drawing you through the pages with a Daytona 500 pace. As always, the flawed Jack is a fascinating character, packing guns, paying bills through aliases, utilizing post office boxes under even more aliases, keeping gold coins in a hidden safe in his wall, while having no social security number nor other traceable presence. You'll come back for me Repairman Jack...author F. Paul Wilson did after writing the stand alone novel introducing Jack, The Tomb, and the last book in the series (since revised).
    • 4/5
      Whoa... Repairman Jack is X-Files meets Punisher with some Tesla for seasoning. I couldn't put this one down. The only thing that would make this series more crafted toward me specifically is if Jack somehow got a kitten as a familiar.

      P.S. Even better the second time around.

      Repairman Jack has been called to action to help a husband find his missing wife who has disappeared under rather mysterious circumstances. The woman in question was deeply involved in alien conspiracy theories and was planning to share her findings on a "Grand Unification Theory" with other like-minded individuals. Days before unveiling her theory, she vanishes, but manages to send a message to her husband declaring that only Repairman Jack can help. How does this woman know Jack? Is there more to these conspiracies than unstable individuals parading around wearing tinfoil caps? Jack is sucked into a paranormal world of conspiracies where he must suspend his own beliefs in order to discover the truth.
    • 2/5
      This was rather disappointing after the first two Repairman Jack books. It was entirely formulaic: a cliché plot for occult/horror novels; the good guys following exactly in the tracks of behavior and dialog they did in the last novel; Jack on autopilot as a "repairman". I'll give the next volume a try simply because I liked the first two in the series, but it needs to improve beyond this level.
    • 4/5
      While "Conspiracies" is the third book in the Repairman Jack series, it actually felt like the true beginning of a series. Where as the previous two books were standalone in story and plot, with "Conspiracies", F. Paul WIlson has sown the seeds to what seems to be a multi-book plot."Conspiracies" also firmly plants the Repairman Jack series in the world of the paranormal and supernatural, contrary to "Legacies". In fact, as the title implies, this book is chock full of conspiracies, MIBs, and mysteries (as one would find in a Dan Simmons novel).Overall, this is another positive and entertaining entry to the Repairman Jack series.
    • 3/5
      Really slow starter. Ending is kind of neat but from this book I can't see what all the hub bub is about Repairman Jack.
    • 5/5
      My favorite of the Repairman Jack series. After this the author got too full of himself and lost a lot of what I loved about RJ books. He turned to pushing issues and causes, clearly anti-God in my opinion. I don't need a book to be Christian or to even mention God to enjoy it, but once you start bashing those who do, or putting God down (which was totally unnecessary in the storyline) you have purposely slapped a lot of readers.

      Repairman Jack finds himself at a convention for conspiracy buffs in search of a man's missing wife. But something very strange is going on....This series is oddly compelling. Their not the best books I ever read, but as soon as I finish one, I'm looking for the next.
    • 5/5
      Oh my! This book was SO good, and I had so much fun reading it! Best of all, it ties together every one of the previous novels while adding new elements to the Adversary Cycle. And parts of it are funny, especially all the crazy conspiracy theories at the crazy conspiracy groups' convention. Don't miss this one, but DO NOT read until you have read all of these (in this order): The Keep/The Tomb/The Touch/Legacies/Reborn. If you don't, you will be scratching your head going, "huh?" I'm going to be so sad when this all ends, I can tell you. One of the best horror/sci-fi/x-filish type series I've ever read. I was tied in knots there at the end wondering if our hero would be back, and then I had only to look over at my shelf at the unread Repairman Jack books to know "oh duh, yeah, he'll be back." And I cannot wait. I see many hours of reading ahead of me.a brief look:Melanie Ehler, a conspiracy theory high mucky muck in that world has gone missing. But her husband gets in touch with Repairman Jack, and says that Melanie talked to him through the television and told him to contact Repairman Jack, because he'd know what to do. Jack thinks this guy's a crackpot, but he's intrigued. Her husband, Lew, tells him that he might find out some info at an upcoming convention of SESOUP, The Society for the Exposure of Secret Organizations and Unacknowledged Phenomena. It's members only, but Jack makes up a kooky story that gets him in. And there are conspiracy theorists of every brand, flavor, belief...you name it. These parts are hysterical as you read about what each person believes...and Melanie believed that all of this unexplained/unacknowledged phenomena was related in some kind of grand unification -- and actually came up with a theory called the Grand Unification Theory before she left. So Jack stays in the hotel where the convention is being held and weird stuff starts happening, none the least of which are a monkey that hates him, a floating box that arrives in his room during the night, bizarre nightmares and a body that is there then disappears.If you read all of the other books first, then none of this is actually going to seem strange, because you'll be expecting it based on what you've read. This one is really great and I highly recommend it to all Repairman Jack fans. Go get the other books and get started on them so you can read this one!one interesting tidbit: On page 209 there is a mention of the Cthulhu cult as Jack is questioning a fellow conspiracy nut on why he's there at the convention (what his personal theory is).
