PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the start of bestseller Child's solid 12th Jack Reacher novel (after Bad Luck and Trouble), the ex-military policeman hitchhikes into Colorado, where he finds himself crossing the metaphorical and physical line that divides the small towns of Hope and Despair. Despair lives up to its name; all Reacher wants is a cup of coffee, but what he gets is attacked by four thugs and thrown in jail on a vagrancy charge. After he's kicked out of town, Reacher reacts in his usual manner he goes back and whips everybody's butt and busts up the town's police force. In the process, he discovers, with the help of a good-looking lady cop from Hope, that a nearby metal processing plant is part of a plan that involves the war in Iraq and an apocalyptic sect bent on ushering in the end-time. With his powerful sense of justice, dogged determination and the physical and mental skills to overcome what to most would be overwhelming odds, Jack Reacher makes an irresistible modern knight-errant.
Customer Reviews
Standard Jack Reacher
If you’re a Jack Reacher fan, you’ll probably enjoy this book. Oh, it has the usual violence, stereotypical women, etc. but it’s got an intriguing storyline. A bit predictable perhaps - I’d figured it out quite a ways before the end :) But if you just want an entertaining read, it fits the bill.
Standard stuff from a Reacher book
Not one of the best but equally still worth reading. I toyed with wether or not to read this one because of the reviews I read. I want to read every book though so I took the plunge. It’s definitely worth reading. Not the best Reacher story but not the worst either. On to the next one..
Superb
……. good as ever !
