Two lonely towns in Colorado: Hope and Despair. Between them, twelve miles of empty road. Jack Reacher never turns back. It's not in his nature. All he wants is a cup of coffee. What he gets is big trouble. So in Lee Child’s electrifying new novel, Reacher—a man with no fear, no illusions, and nothing to lose—goes to war against a town that not only wants him gone, it wants him dead.
It wasn’t the welcome Reacher expected. He was just passing through, minding his own business. But within minutes of his arrival a deputy is in the hospital and Reacher is back in Hope, setting up a base of operations against Despair, where a huge, seething walled-off industrial site does something nobody is supposed to see . . . where a small plane takes off every night and returns seven hours later . . . where a garrison of well-trained and well-armed military cops—the kind of soldiers Reacher once commanded—waits and watches . . . where above all two young men have disappeared and two frightened young women wait and hope for their return.
Joining forces with a beautiful cop who runs Hope with a cool hand, Reacher goes up against Despair—against the deputies who try to break him and the rich man who tries to scare him—and starts to crack open the secrets, starts to expose the terrifying connection to a distant war that’s killing Americans by the thousand.
Now, between a town and the man who owns it, between Reacher and his conscience, something has to give. And Reacher never gives an inch.
Disappointing - entertaining, but disappointing
| Customer Rating: | I LOVE Reacher. One of my favorite all-time fiction lines is from The Hard Way:
Reacher. Alone in the dark. Invincible.
This book ranks at the bottom on the Reacher list, primarily because I don't need lectures about the war in Iraq and the evil administration that hates its soldiers. Leave out the politics next time, Lee.
Otherwise, it was okay. But I read Lee Child to get better than okay. |
LOVED this book...
| Customer Rating: | ... and I am so very grateful I am not a Christian War Monger.

Best Reacher Book Yet
| Customer Rating: | | This is Child's best Reacher book. Although the pace is a little slower than many of the other books in the Reacher series, the slower pace, combined with the intriguing mysteries to be solved, make it very worthwhile. I highly recommend it! |
Lee Child, meet Laura Ingraham
| Customer Rating: | Lee Child, if you should somehow read this review, let me request you read a MUCH better book by Laura Ingraham, "Shut up and Sing". I humbly ask you to Shut up and WRITE!
Why do otherwise good writers insist on throwing their personal politics into what should be escapist adventure? Is it worth the risk of losing future customers/readers? I'm not sure if I'll read another of your books, but I am quite sure I will never pay full price for them again. Bargain bin material for sure.

Many criticisms are fueled by poliltics, but not all
| Customer Rating: | If the negative conclusions Reacher has made about Iraq are likely to steam you, skip the book. Otherwise, still a pretty good read. I have confidence in Lee Child.
As reviewer Brian Baker say, Reacher stories have been small stories. They have also not been so fantastical. The townspeople are cartoons. That being said, Reacher is still Reacher. I read avidly, the action was sufficient, and the essential small observations (why do hardware stores always put items out on the sidewalk? coffee mug shapes, etc.) are as tasty as ever.
Recommended, with the caveat. |
