    About this audiobook

    “Ground Zero is not only packed with action and revelations but told so well that fans will want the next two books now…. Wilson’s writing has never been sharper…. It’s truly going to make his fans giddy.” —Bookgasm

    Munir Habib’s life has become a nightmare. His tormentor has warned Munir not to report the kidnapping of his family, or they will pay a terrible price. But a friend realizes something is terribly wrong and tells Munir he doesn’t have to go to the cops. There’s a guy who fixes situations like this—Repairman Jack.

    Jack is backed into helping Munir despite his ongoing involvement in the cosmic shadow war between the Ally and the Otherness. Or perhaps because of it. He’s chafing at being forced into the defensive role of protecting the Lady, the physical embodiment of the consciousness of the planet Earth.

    Meanwhile, the Septimus Order and the Kickers are seemingly working in concert on a plot to extinguish the Lady and open the way for the Otherness to take over our reality. To top it off, Dawn Pickering finally goes into labor and delivers a baby she only glimpses as it’s whisked away. She’s terrified by what she sees. Later she’s told the baby died, but she doesn’t believe it. Neither does Weezy Connell. Neither does Jack.

    All these interlocking plots mean doom for humanity. But Jack never gives up or gives in.

    “The name is Jack, Repairman Jack, and it’s a name worth looking up next time you want a great supernatural thriller.” —Fangoria

      Good read. Enjoyed the story, less fix it jobs as the otherness story advances.
    • 3/5
      F. Paul Wilson has some wonderful books, and The Tomb which started the Repairman Jack series is one of those. Sadly I feel that the books are not tight as he tries to conclude the series. They feel unconvincing and a bit typed.
    • 5/5
      Favorite title in the series so far! Great new characters and plot connections
    • 4/5
      This is the end, almost. The penultimate book of the Repairman Jack series. And in this age of binge watching an entire TV season over the weekend, I'm doing a mini-equivalent and pushing through with the end of Repairman Jack and the Adversary Cycle. Straight from GROUND ZERO through FATAL ERROR and ending with NIGHTWORLD. Over the years, I might have missed nuances across the books but since the final books are all out, I'm going to finish them back-to-back. FATAL ERROR goes back to the usual Repairman Jack procedure, but with extras. Russ, Jack's go-to computer guy, brings Jack in to help Munir who is having problems; it turns out that Munir's wife and son have been kidnapped. After not wanting to help, Jack relinquishes and agrees to doing what he can. It turns out that the Septimus Order and Kickers are behind it since they needed access to Munir's code to help them bring down the Internet. Basically a massive Distributed Denial of Service attack coordinated with physically bringing down a few key Internet Provider stations. A bit of hand waving but nothing that incredulous or unbelievable; we've all seen worse in movies and TV. Anyway, it's all an effort by The One to kill The Lady who is helping Earth in the battle between The Ally and The Other.If that last sentence made no sense, then you need to go back to the beginning of the Repairman Jack series or the Adversary Cycle. Preferably both. For us regular readers, this book builds the tension and excitement. I can feel the pressure as things are building to a culmination in the new NIGHTWORLD. Next up, I'm actually going to go backwards in time but fill in a gap from this novel. REPRISAL which I originally read in 1996 occurs during the same time frame as FATAL ERROR. I'm going to re-introduce myself to some of the other characters that I'll be seeing before the end.

      Oh no!! Only one more Repairman Jack novel to go after this one before Nightworld, and that ends the series.

      Fatal Error is another excellent Repairman Jack novel, quickly moving us towards the inevitable conclusion in Nightworld.

      As the author says in the forward, as the series progresses the novels tend less to be able to stand on their own - requiring some knowledge of what's gone before.

      As a fan - I don't care! It's a great series and this is another great addition!

      The Septimus Order and The Kickers have teamed up to unleash a devastating computer virus with the intent of taking down the entire Internet. However, the Order is using the virus as a conduit to facilitate a much bigger goal. A goal, that if met, will open the door for "The Otherness". Repairman Jack learns of this nefarious plot and in an anticlimactic turn of events really does nothing to stop it. The series is drawing to a close and this book seemed like filler. Granted there were a few plot revelations, but nothing that couldn't have been summed up in a few bonus chapters in another book. Jack, I think it's time you just nut up and deal with "The One". Recommended if you are already this heavily invested in the series.
    • 4/5
      I know it's not fair because the author intended it to end on a cliff hanger, just like the last few books in the series, but that's really the only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars. That and the fact that it refers a LOT to Reprisal, which is not technically an RJ book. I like my stories, even in a series, to be as self contained as possible, and this one doesn't come close. Other than that, it's a very good one, lots of action and huge creep factor in the quasi-apocalyptic last part. I'll say no more- you'll just have to find out the rest on your own!
    • 3/5
      The overall plot of the series advances as Dawn's baby is born, more is revealed about The Lady, and Rasalom makes a key discovery.

      But the most satisfying parts of the book are the side detours where Jack enters full-out vigilante mode.
    • 5/5
      I am in love with Repairman Jack. If I ever got into a bind he is surely the one that I would want to help me. I am so sad that this series will be ending after the next book but I do understand. Mr. Wilson has been warning us for a long time so there is no use getting mad at him.You can read Fatal Error as a standalone but I would not recommend it. There is so much back story that you would miss out on knowing if you started here. Yes, you can still enjoy the book but for me anyway I don't think I would have enjoyed it so much. I have a history with Jack, Gia, Abe, The Lady, etc, etc, etc.This is quite a fast moving page turner. It only took me as long as it did to read it because I was savoring it. Big changes are coming and I am holding my breath for the next book. If you never read any Repairman Jack books I suggest you go right to your library and check out The Tomb.

      As the Repairman Jack saga draws near its end, the Septimus Order and the Kickers work to bring down the Internet and destroy the Lady.
