Mar 04, 2013 Troubles found the hitchhiker Jack once more. This time, he and a tough fair maiden were kidnapped and driven into a militia settlement, with a fanatic leader set to declare independence and commit mass murder. Too bad for the…

I thought that this was the first in the author’s lengthy series, but it turns out this is the second, so I understand now why there isn’t heaps of background information for the origin story. Like the first, much later installment in the…

I've read and enjoyed a lot of Reacher books, but I couldn't even get a fifth of the way through this one before I had to stop. It was just flat out creepy; not tense and exciting like his other books, but way too dark, creepy, and…

This was a good book, typical Jack Reacher story line. Of course he always manages to get out of the trouble he is in. In this story he has to save an FBI agent that has been kidnapped, and then has to save himself as well. The main part…

This book read like an action movie. Non-stop heart racing thriller. One of the better Jack Reacher books I’ve read. Highly recommended.

Reacher again wrong place, wrong time: helped FBI agent with laundry: they both were kidnapped by antigovernment "freedom or die" people: always fascinating to witness how Reacher thinks, fun read

A good read in the detailed, well researched style of Childs. A reasonable critique is that some aspects of the story are too contrived and the ending particularly fits that view. There appeared no practical reason for the corrupt…

I have yet to meet a Jack Reacher novel that I didn't love. (Heck, I even enjoyed the Jack Reacher movie - despite the horrible casting of Tom Cruise as Jack... a major part of Jack's persona is his SIZE!) I have read the main series…

First Jack Reacher book I've read. It was fast paced but not well written. I thought it was literally "CHILDISH" and amateurish writing. Over the top bad guy and far fetched plot. I won't read any of Lee Child's Reacher books again. …

Suspenseful, Edge of your seat and well crafted.. Lee Child builds another gem for us to awe.. This is a very good story and one of Lee's best.
