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.

"Jack Reacher is not your typical homeless person. As a former military police officer he recognizes the tell tail sign of a potential suicide bomber. But when the suspected bomber shoots herself while talking to him, he becomes involved in trying to find out why. The action is almost non-stop. " — Fredrick (5 out of 5 stars)

Explosive and nearly impossible to put down.
As I was reading this latest book, I was trying to understand why I like the Reacher series so much….The Jack Reacher books are all revenge fantasies. By the time the reader encounters the first fight, the reader is already mad…. Reacher doesn't go looking for trouble, but trouble usually finds him.
“Explosive and nearly impossible to put down.”
“Colossal. Earthshaking. Stupendous…Jack Reacher is one of the most enduring action heroes on the American landscape.”
“Do yourself a favor and get hooked on this series.”
“At the stage of his career when many other suspense writers fumble for new ideas or settle on ho-hum, repetitive story lines, Child still cranks out thrillers that you simply can’t put down.”
“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.”
“When, single-handedly, Reacher takes out eight huskies in a bar-room brawl, a million plus fans will grin happily, knowing that all’s right with the action-lit world.”
" A good book by all means, but sometimes I had the feeling that it was a bit too much...something, perhaps too much imagination regarding the background. "
" I liked it - as usual his deductive reasoning is always better than mine - but I mean he has the skills.However they killed one or two people that I wish they hadn't. "
