The '''''Repairman Jack''''' novels are a series spun off from the ''Nightworld'' novels (AKA the Adversary Cycle) by F. Paul Wilson.
From [[The Other Wiki]]:
Line 56:
* [[The Call Knows Where You Live]]: Does it ever. {{spoiler|At least it can be bargained with...}}
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]
* [[The Chosen One]]: It's revealed that {{spoiler|Jack is actually the ''backup'' chosen one, should the current chosen one die. [[
* [[Church of Happyology]]
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Jack goes out of his way to point out that he isn't particularly good at fighting and that real fights are nothing like what is seen in the movies. As such he is quite possibly the most creative fighter this side of [[Watchmen (comics)|Rorschach]] in terms of improvising to get an advantage over his opponents.
** Arguably more so, simply due to sheer creativity. Jack once drove off an entire gang in just minutes thus; he squirted stage blood mixed with pepper spray in an attacker's eye, then stuck a rubber eye in his mouth - result: eight no-longer-tough guys screaming OH MY GOD THIS PSYCHO JUST RIPPED OUT MY BUDDY'S EYE AND ATE IT!
* [[Con Man]]: Some of Jack's targets and several of his friends are this.
Line 69:
* [[Death By Pragmatism]]: Subverted
* [[Distress Call]]: ''Conspiracies'' begins with one of these asking for Jack.
* [[
** Hey! [[Justified Trope|She's not even ten!]]
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: the Rakoshi
