The next in the long line of hugely thrilling and subtly supernatural Repairman Jack books, By the Sword by F. Paul Wilson lives up to the hype and promise the other Jack books dictate. Never thought I'd like reading a book whereby an ancient Japanese Samurai sword plays a key role. Also involves secret sects and mystical monks. And, thankfully, a waaaay lesser supporting role given to girlfriend Gina. Three pages tops. Lots of action and surprises to be had.
Read Jack: Secret Histories right after this. Enjoyable yarn starring Jack as a young boy. Didn't even realize it was a young adult book until I was three quarters of the way through and happened to read about it on the intraweb. Another hit from the hitmaker himself.
