Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The heart-pounding new Jack Reacher thriller from acclaimed authors Lee Child and Andrew Child.

Jack Reacher is hard to find. It's not easy to track him down. And he likes it that way. But General Susan Turner, based deep inside the Pentagon, has the means and the motive. She needs his help. A member of her team has been brutally murdered on covert duty. She can’t trust anyone she works with, not even her deputy. She needs someone from the outside. Someone who solves problems and disappears without a trace.

Reacher heads to Summertown, Colorado. A town as remote and bizarre as it gets. One diner, one motel, five massive data centers, two giant solar farms humming away in the dust. Total population: four people. And one of them is watching him. But Reacher isn’t built to run. He’s built to finish things. General Turner knows that if they come for Reacher, they’ll regret it—all the way to the top of the chain.

    Typical Reacher book but updated for the new age of AI and technology. There is the usual Reacher busting up the bad guys and a fling with a female coworker, but Reacher fans won’t be disappointed.
  • Good story

    Better than their last book. Not sure I picture Reacher as a romantic, but hey it’s their character.

    I will have to say that there were shades of some of the old reacher books here. Glad to see the brothers finally penned something readable. Their previous three reacher books have been quite horrible. Hopefully if it continues the stories and dialogue will get better. We can only hope.

    Couldn’t put it down, read it all in one sitting. Best Reacher ever. Read them all some 3 x over the last decade. Reacher’s humor is back and hilariously funny. The action is…. Well you can’t stop reading the book. John D.
