Another excellent addition to this series. Reacher is such a great character. I love to see how his brain works as he tries to figure out what is going on. So much action and intrigue throughout the book. Looking forward to whatever Reacher gets into next.
This was such a terrific installment for Reacher. It felt fresh, clever and action-packed. For me, this one was a return to form, as it felt really thought out, and the twists were top-notch. Bravo to Lee Child and his next hit.
What's not to like about Jack Reacher?
Another over the wall hit for the Childs.
Reacher comes to shackled to a bed in a darkend room
with no memory of where he is or how he got there. In fact,
he has no recent memory recall at all. But don't think
that will stop Jack Reacher from getting free and getting to the bottom of what happened.
to him and what is really going on.
A great story with non stop Reacher action and his usual common sense handling of
not so common details.
Terrific, strong plot with equally strong and well defined characters.
Ready for his next stop.
The Child brothers do not disappoint in the newest Jack Reacher thriller. This is everything you’ve come to expect in this series, great action scenes, twisted plot, and Reacher’s great inner voice.
Reacher comes to nd finds himself shacked, unable to move, with no knowledge of how he ended up this way.
Escaping, he Is determined to find out who's behind his injuries and capture. Reacher is informed by a man who
appears and states he is there to help Reacher. Reacher is told he was invovled in a car accident. Unfortunately
Reacher has lost his memory of the past two hours happening and no way of knowing what the truth is.
As he seeks to learn more about the man offering his assistance and his captor, the more questions arise.
Filled with twist and turns that keep one reading till the end.

My Thoughts
I have never read a book in this series where Reacher was slightly incapacitated in any major way at the beginning of his story but as loyal fans expect him to he managed to prevail nonetheless.
Jack, no-middle-name, Reacher is a man who walks to his own drum beat through life after being retired from his job in the Army.
That means sometimes he ends up involved in things that are not good for him or his health.
Case in point most of this book Reacher is trying to keep himself from being injured worse or killed as his number of enemies increases and his allies are few.
The truth of what Reacher has inadvertently become a part of is slowly sorted out and as the body count rises so do the stakes if he does not figure out the end game.
An adrenaline filled race to a finish that only this character is capable of making work to his satisfaction.

On every book read as soon as it is done and written up for review it is posted on Goodreads and Netgalley, once released then posted on Amazon, Barnes and Nobles as well.
I always look forward to a new book in this series and this one doesn’t disappoint. It caught my attention from the first page and had lots of twist and turns. A definite page turner. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy.
This book kept me up until the sun was rising. From the outset I was riveted to the story of how
Reacher managed to get himself roped into an op of sorts, and one he had no good reason to
care about. BUT… we all know Jack. My curiosity ran high through this adventure~Reacher had
NO good reason to have landed where he did… Because he has such a strong sense of right
and wrong, even landing in the wrong place at the wrong time and with the wrong people,,
if someone. needs help, he will be there.
As in most adventures, when he ends up casually paired with a woman, sparks fly.
I rather liked this woman, and would not mind if she appears in future stories.
This is a great story with lots of moving parts, and the whole thing gets nicely wrapped.
I like that any Reacher book can. be read as a standalone. I also enjoyed the clever
use of language throughout.
My thanks to Delacorte Press via Net Galley for the download of this book for review purposes.
Of course I am a Jack Reacher fan! And the latest is quite excellent.
Reacher has been in an auto accident. He regains consciousness, gradually realizing that his wrist is broken and that he is handcuffed to a metal table. His captor mistakenly believes that he has the situation well in hand.
Unlike many of the Reacher novels, this story involves only one character from a previous novel, FBI Special Agent Wallwork. Even so, there is no doubt it is a wonderful extension of the series.
4.25 stars. Was this the best book I've ever read? No. Do I always have fun spending time with Reacher? Yes.
We start the book with Reacher regaining consciousness, hands and feet shackled and a broken wrist. Oh no! How will he beat people up with a bad hand and a concussion that prevents him from head butting people? (spoiler: shouldn't be toooo worried)
Another solid mystery with bad guys, a pretty lady, coffee, pie, etc. (I liked that this book was set in the present timeline and not a flashback to his military time.) Hope there are 29 more to come in the series!
Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine for providing me with an advance reader's copy in exchange for an honest review.

As a fan of the Reacher series, I always look forward to each new endeavor of the Child’s. This installment I found to be rather insipid, shallow and unrealistic. The characters, for the most part, are not likable and it strains the imagination to think that Reacher, with a broken wrist, could do the things he does throughout the novel. The story is mildly interesting but, as a whole, somewhat disappointing.
I thank NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for the opportunity to read and review this book prior to its publication.
For those needing a “Reacher Fix”, this book will cure what ails you. Trouble somehow always seems to find our hero, and in this installment of the series, Reacher starts off not.knowing how he got where he is. The reader learns along with him, and along the way the bad guys learn something too: don’t mess with Reacher.
This was my first Reacher book, but I have seen the show. I pictured the Reacher from the show in my mind the whole time while reading it.
This was an exciting book. An undercover fed is possibly dead that was infiltrating a crime ring. Reacher is just simply in the wrong place at the wrong time and gets caught up in the mess. Or I guess you could call it the right place, since he ends up saving the day.
Reacher is a badass, but he is also weird. He doesn’t know anything about how to work phones or computers, but somehow he is always one step ahead of everyone. I find his character very interesting. Now that I have read one of the books I can say that the show captures his character very well.
I think if you enjoy the show or other Reacher books, you will like this, as well. Action packed with a little sprinkle of romance too.
Thank you to netgalley for this free advance copy in exchange for an honest review.
Reacher had no idea where he was. No idea how he had gotten there. But someone must have brought him. And shackled him. And whoever had done those things was going to rue the day. That was for damn sure!! Great book! This book had suspense, intrigue, action packed, murder, mystery, a great who done it and a few twists and turns. The storyline was interesting! I highly recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
This one is a winner!!! Once more the father and son partnership has crafted a tightly woven novel with a quickly moving plot. This is a classic Reacher story, with him ending up in the wrong place at the right time, putting him in a position to act on a problem.
Filled with lots of action, this book had me flipping pages just as quickly as possible. Fans of the genre will love this book. The authors and masters of their craft and at the top of my must read authors' list.
