What are they about?

Im into fantasy (and sci fi to an extant) and suspense... rarely do i venture out of my nerd realm of reading;]

Kinda hard to describe what kinda books they are so I copied these quotes. Think maybe the Equalizer mixed with Mulder and add an attitude like Robert DeNiro in Taxi driver. lol I would say a suspenseful supernatural thriller with a fair wack of ( moral ) ass kicking.

"Its not too much of a stretch to say that the Repairman Jack series of books cannot be easily categorized. When I went to the bookstore to search for these books, I found Repairman Jack books the fiction-literature, mystery, horror and science fiction. ""

"Repairman Jack, as our hero is known, is the man to see when you need to make something happen in New York City that you prefer the authorities not be involved in, i.e. something that might not be terribly legal and quite likely will be dangerous. This work has forced Jack underground, outside the system. So, like the protagonist of Roger Zelazny's "Home Is the Hangman" tale, he simply doesn't exist on any databases in his real identity. Oh, he's in the databases under a myriad of personas, but none are really him. His names are indeed legion. He's middle aged, smart-assed, and possibly just a little to sane for his own good. And he likes seriously frelling over those who deserve it. Please note that this is a series, and while you could, if you were so inclined, jump in anywhere and start reading, you'd be well advised to go back to The Tomb, or at the very least the latest set of Repairman Jack novels, Legacies, Conspiracies, All The Rage, and Hosts, as both Jack and his situation evolve in fairly complex ways over the series.

The Repairman Jack novels started out as horror stories with a very strong supernatural bent, and have kept that feel throughout. Hosts is a bit more muted, but The Haunted Air apparently ups the horror feel quite a bit. If you like a fast-paced action series with a complex protagonist and a touch of horror, you can't go wrong reading these novels."

Reading, that's the stuff between, beside, underneath the pictures right?

I never heard of Repairman Jack but will look into it. I like Tom Clancy, even though he's a real asshole, the man can write a book.
