Publisher's Summary:
Bound by his promise to the dying former immortal, Glaeken, Jack has refrained from making any direct moves against his arch-enemy, Rasalom. But things have changed, so theres nothing holding Jack in check any longer. Jack is healing at an accelerated rate - much like Glaeken did when he was immortal. This must mean that Glaekens time is almost up, and when he dies, Jack will take his place.
Rasalom continues to plot against the Lady. Twice she has died and, amazingly, returned; a third time and she will be truly gone, leaving a clear path for the Otherness to infiltrate this reality. But Ernst Drexler, formerly Rasaloms go-to guy for logistical support, fears he will be left out in the cold when the Change, the final darkness, comes. He forms an uneasy alliance with Jack, who is preparing to face their old enemy.
Meanwhile, Dawn Pickering is searching for her supposedly dead baby. The trail leads her to a mansion in a remote Long Island coastal town, where she discovers a terrifying truth she could have never imagined.
Now the stage is set for Jacks massive assault on Rasalom. Jack knows hes got just one shot. But its not just a matter of taking out Rasalom; he also must retrieve Dawns child and minimize collateral damage. So, he comes up with a foolproof plan.
But fools are always with us. . .

Jack Vs. Rasalom
If you could sum up The Dark at the End in three words, what would they be?
Gut-Wrenching
Heart-Breaking
Exhausting
What did you like best about this story?
Jacks assault on Rasalom.
What does Christopher Price bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
As I have mentioned previously, he does a fine job with Jacks voice - it sounds generic - which is exactly as it should. But with any accent - well, they all sound the same. Which is not so good.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, I actually cheered a bit when Jack's attack took place.
And felt gutted when the climax came.
Any additional comments?
Note that this leads immediately into NIGHTWORLD. Which, as you can take as a spoiler of sorts, but you KNEW things would never go exactly as planned right?
Amazing End to Amazing Series
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
First of all, this should be the last book of the Repairman Jack series that you listen to, and the penultimate listen before the final book in the whole Adversary/Repairman Jack cycle, Nightworld. There are many books before this and you'll like them better in order. This review serves as a review of the entire series.
F. Paul Wilson has built an incredibly believable world, a quite compelling mix of real life scenarios with end-of-the-world, supernatural elements. The main characters are interesting, complex and develop over their arcs within the series. The plots are not completely predictable, contrary to what so frequently happens within a long series, and Wilson can throw a mean monkey wrench into the expected story line, creating refreshing surprises and a level of suspense that keeps you downloading the next book as soon as you finish the last, just to see what happens next.
Wilson has a gift for sardonic, crusty vernacular and comic relief within deadly serious situations.
