Story
Repairman Jack doesn’t believe a house can be haunted. But he’s about to change that tune… In the borough of Queens, just across the river from Manhattan, two clever practitioners of spiritualist hocus-pocus use high-tech tricks to dupe their marks. Perhaps they’re too good: they’ve lured too many clients from other mediums and are now under attack. Unable to go to the police for fear of exposing their own scams, they hire Repairman Jack to fix their problem.

Story
"Something is murdering my men." Thus reads the message received from a Nazi commander stationed in a small castle high in the remote Transylvanian Alps. Invisible and silent, the enemy selects one victim per night, leaving the bloodless and mutilated corpses behind to terrify its future victims. When an elite SS extermination squad is dispatched to solve the problem, the men find something that's both powerful and terrifying. Panicked, the Nazis bring in a local expert on folklore - who just happens to be Jewish - to shed some light on the mysterious happenings.

Having overrun India, the far East, and the great cities of North and South America, the forces of Night are now spreading into the countryside to consolidate their conquest.

A Promising Debut
- By I. Jamie on 24-01-06
Summary
Repairman Jack has been tearing up the urban adventure scene ever since he was introduced in the New York Times best seller, The Tomb. Jack has no last name, no social security number, and no qualms when it comes to getting the job done - even if it means putting himself in serious danger.
Hosts starts with a bang when Jack has to stop a psychotic's shooting rampage on a subway car - but there are witnesses, and Jack’s essential anonymity is threatened.
A good deal more is threatened when the lover of Jack’s sister Kate survives a brain tumor, thanks to an experimental treatment, only to join a strange cult called “the Unity”. Now Jack must face a new kind of enemy, a virally-based group mind that wants to take over him, and the world.

This series just gets better & better
This series really pulls no punches it’s fast moving, exciting and mysterious. I’m loving every second of every book. Just bought the next 3 in the series and will begin the binge as soon as I’ve posted this. I really recommend the Repairman Jack books to anyone wanting a quality few hours of pure escapism via urban fantasy and gritty adventure.

I hate this narrator!
If I have to listen to him say Oolio one more time I’ll SCREAM! It’s JULIO you idiot! I love the Repairman Jack series, and have read the books, but decided to give the audiobooks a try. Jack:The Early Year - Cold City, Fear City etc. That guy could narrate a book, and I’d hope to hear him read the rest of the series, but nope, you had to go with this looser! I’m hoping they will decide to hire a new, and more experienced narrator to reread this series so I can truly enjoy it!

Look...just put forth the effort to pronounce
I love F Paul WIlson. I love Repairman Jack. I was read him initially when it was just "The Tomb". And I've read the subsequent novels as they've come out. I love that I can continue to enjoy them via audiobook. I love the entire Adversary cycle, which Repairman Jack is working towards.
Okay. So I've established that I love FPW's stories. Now...
I'm voicing my issue here (with Hosts), but it appears in all of the stories that have this narrator.
Here's my single (yes, it's just one) problem with Christopher Price doing the reading. He seems to do just fine with accents (New York accent, Russians, Abe's Jewish accent), and such. But -- for crying out loud -- why can't he pronounce "Julio" instead of "Oolio". It's awful, it's horrible, it detracts from an otherwise enjoyable narration. Can't he manage to sound out the hispanic "J"? It would be better even if he said "Hulio" which is much more accurate this Oolio business, which grates.
Okay. Rant done. Going back to the story.

Not the Kind of Host you are looking for
If you could sum up Hosts in three words, what would they be?
SuperDuperNatural must read
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Yes, It was one of the better books. Not that the series is not all great, it is, but every now and then there is a must read and thsi is one of them
Which character – as performed by Christopher Price – was your favorite?
Jack and Gia. Mr Price has a true talent of using his voice to capture the charactors personality in full
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, they all do
Any additional comments?
Start with the quick read...The Last Rakosh. Even though it is short and sweet, it makes beginning the series that much better
