Publisher Description

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.

"This was the first Reacher novel I read.It was a few years ago and it hooked me. My aunt had recomended these as something to read while I was on the road. Since then I have read and listened to quite a few and this is still one of my favorites. Still can't see Tom Cruise as Jack though. Really?"

    " I started out really enjoying this book, and quickly lost steam. It reminded me too much of the first Reacher novel, and I was disappointed by Reacher's behavior throughout, especially at the end. Not enough to make me stop reading the Reacher books, but not encouraging. "

    " Hooray, the hero is a strong silent type who's 'code' generally means finding hypocritical reasons to beat the shit out of people. There's also this weird thing where everyone else acts like an idiot but in carefully decipherable ways so the hero can put it all together like a jigsaw puzzle. Oh, and there's a strong and attractive female cop warning him to keep out of trouble. Will they or won't they? Will he leave town at the end to continue his drifter ways? Will every single bloody material object be described in a level of detail that you're basically reading a pornography of stuff? I suspect if you read any other Reacher book you could answer these questions. I will not be. "

    " Typical Jack Reacher story where Jack is challenged by local cops and asked to move on as he is considered a vagrant. Jack of course doesn't, enlists the aid of a female cop, and discovers the real reason he isn't welcomed in this Colorado company town. Interesting story, full of action. "

    " A bit disappointing in comparison to the previous Reacher novels. Slow starting and a bit convoluted for me. The last 4 chapters redeemed it somewhat, but definitely only merits a 3.5 in lieu of the normal 5 star rating I usually credit this series' books with. "

    " These novels are a guilty pleasure. No reasonable reality and I totally enjoy sucking them in. Jack Reacher makes dockers look sexy, or so he believes, and if he believes, it is so. "
