Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Jack Reacher will make three stops today. Not all of them were planned for. The “blockbuster” (Esquire) new Jack Reacher thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling authors Lee Child and Andrew Child, featuring “the best villain yet” (USA Today)!

Don’t miss the hit streaming series Reacher!

First—a Baltimore coffee shop. A seat in the corner, facing the door. Black coffee, two refills, no messing around. A minor interruption from two of the customers, but nothing he can’t deal with swiftly. As he leaves, a young guy brushes against him in the doorway. Instinctively Reacher checks the pocket holding his cash and passport. There’s no problem. Nothing is missing.

Second—a store to buy a coat. Nothing fancy. Something he can ditch when he heads to warmer climates. Large enough to fit a man the size of a bank vault. As he pulls out his cash, he finds something new in his pocket. A handwritten note. A desperate plea for help.

Third—wherever this bend in the road takes him. Impressed by the guy’s technique and intrigued by the message, Reacher makes it his mission to find out more . . .

    Really bad. Not the same Reacher. A complicated plot doesn’t make up for bad writing. Lee Child should distance himself from Andrew.

  • Reacher, Still the Best!

    Some reviewers have complained this outing doesn’t have enough action, moves too slow…they don’t get Jack Reacher. He is a thinker, an investigator, motivated to right the wrongs done by others in service of their victims and his country. He acts when he needs to, and he always succeeds. This is another shining example of and a very satisfying story. I couldn’t put it down! Classic Reacher!

  • Not as bad as I expected

    All the reviews are talking up how Andrew Child is no Lee. So true. But I really see it more as an editing issue. Some editor needs to get the guy to add more dialogue and stop the detailed over explaining (see the description of the port terminal as an example). And realize that Reacher has a sense of humor. The plot itself wasn’t bad, but it was a hard read at times. Willing to give him another shot.

    Just not up to the standard we’ve grown used to

  • A plot like The Gordian Knot

    One of the best in the series. Plot has more twist and turns than San Francisco’s Lombard Street. Great action; Reacher does Reacher.

  • The series is dead

    Since Lee Child handed over the reins this series has gone downhill. The writing is completely off. Jack doesn’t speak the same, the cadence is different. Likely won’t buy any more of this series. It’s just sad.

  • Disappointing

    I have read everything Reacher, exept a few of the short stories. This is the only one I found a bit boring. At least he didn’t kills dozens of people. It is easy to feel the difference between Lee Child and Andrew. Imlook forward to more true character Reacher stories.

  • All over the place

    At times hard to follow and ending was very flat and short. A lot of loose ends not tied up by the end. Authors could have done a better job.

  • Not the best

    Confusing story at times. Some things made no sense and overall choppy writing. Not a believable story.

  • Not a great Reacher Story

    Pretty weak Reacher book. Pretty flimsy story. Could have skipped this one.
