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…
The second Jack Reacher book and this one shows his survival skills and learned military skills after he is kidnapped along with a woman he just happened to help after she dropped her laundry! As usual, the women are smart and the bad…
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

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. …

The description for Lee Child's book Die Trying starts, "As the economic giants of Asia and elsewhere have awakened, Western leaders have increasingly struggled to maintain economic stability."
This sounds like the description of a…
