Publisher Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Don’t miss the hit streaming series Reacher!
Jack Reacher is back! The “utterly addictive” (The New York Times) series continues as acclaimed author Lee Child teams up with his brother, Andrew Child, fellow thriller writer extraordinaire.
“One of the many great things about Jack Reacher is that he’s larger than life while remaining relatable and believable. The Sentinel shows that two Childs are even better than one.”—James Patterson
As always, Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. One morning he ends up in a town near Pleasantville, Tennessee.
But there’s nothing pleasant about the place.
In broad daylight Reacher spots a hapless soul walking into an ambush. “It was four against one” . . . so Reacher intervenes, with his own trademark brand of conflict resolution.
The man he saves is Rusty Rutherford, an unassuming IT manager, recently fired after a cyberattack locked up the town’s data, records, information . . . and secrets. Rutherford wants to stay put, look innocent, and clear his name.
Reacher is intrigued. There’s more to the story. The bad guys who jumped Rutherford are part of something serious and deadly, involving a conspiracy, a cover-up, and murder—all centered on a mousy little guy in a coffee-stained shirt who has no idea what he’s up against.
Rule one: if you don’t know the trouble you’re in, keep Reacher by your side.
Customer Reviews
Decent Story
Not bad. Not the best Reacher book, but not bad. Unfortunately, the narrator was almost unlistenable. Just awful.
Fun and thrilling
I’ve read a review that was unfavorable to this novel. I disagree. This Jack Reacher story is a bit of a throwback to Cold War era spy craft, with a Reacher twist. It might have less action than the other stories, I’m not entirely sure that’s true, but it is artfully written and thrilling as heck! I enjoyed this addition to the Reacher collection and look forward to more Child bros. collaborations.
Not like other Reacher novels
This didn’t even feel like a Reacher novel. Was slow, little to no typical Reacher action, bad and predictable plot that lacked any real substance. Just not good.
