“The best one yet.”—Stephen King
Someone has tried to kill the French president. How many snipers can shoot from three-quarters of a mile with total confidence? John Kott—a U.S. Army marksman gone bad—is one of them. After fifteen years in prison, he’s out . . . and there’s a G8 summit coming up, packed with enough world leaders to tempt any assassin.
If anyone can stop Kott, it’s the man who beat him before: Jack Reacher. And though he’d rather work alone, Reacher is teamed with rookie analyst Casey Nice. They’re facing a rough road, full of local thugs, double-crosses, and no backup if things go wrong. Reacher never gets too close. But this time it’s personal.
This edition includes the bonus short story “Not a Drill.”
Customer Reviews
Lots of twists and…
Surprises even for a Reacher story. The final turn was right there, presented to the reader early on; more than a clue, and clearly pointing to the imminent final irony. Additional hints and evidence turn up along the way but the story line so preoccupied my thinking that I completely missed it-though I did have suspicions I missed it.
On a different topic, some reviewers seem to take exception with some aspects of Dick Hill’s narrative style. Personally I love the way he handled the numerous Reacher audio books. This novel is no exception. I have to ask just how well (to some reviewer’s satisfaction at least) one can reasonably expect a man who has developed such a snappy, huge, tough and hard edged character, uniquely identifiable, to mimic female characters level with what I think are unreasonable expectations I’ve seen expressed by reviews of various Child novels.
I think Dick Hill did outstanding and fun (for me) voices in the Reacher series.
