Publisher Description

Jack Reacher.

The ultimate loner.

An elite ex-military cop who left the service years ago, he’s moved from place to place…without family…without possessions…without commitments.

And without fear. Which is good, because trouble—big, violent, complicated trouble—finds Reacher wherever he goes. And when trouble finds him, Reacher does not quit, not once…not ever.

But some unfinished business has now found Reacher. And Reacher is a man who hates unfinished business.

Ten years ago, a key investigation went sour and someone got away with murder. Now a chance encounter brings it all back. Now Reacher sees his one last shot. Some would call it vengeance. Some would call it redemption. Reacher would call it…justice.

"This is the first Reacher book since the very first book in the series that is told in the first person. There are few changes that make this book stand out from the rest but mostly they are superficial. The main baddie in this book is someone from Reacher's past, and the first one he hated going into. Most books he grows to the realization that he is going to kill the bad guy, but here he starts out from that point of view. One thing I really liked about the book is it had that isolation feel that my favorite book in the series had, Die Trying. Mostly set on a deserted coast of Maine. The book has trippy begining that will leave Reacher fans wondering what the hell is going on. But this is still a great action packed book for fans of action movies. It does stand out from the series as a whole, but not signifigantly."

Quotes

  • “A skillful blend of sex, violence, sadism, weaponry, spies, smuggling, revenge, deception, suspense, and nonstop action…Gripping.”

    — Washington Post

  • “Child deserves to be galloped through because his writing is exuberant, ebullient, and exciting…Child’s tale drives hard and fast…Gratifying.”

    — Los Angeles Times Book Review

  • “Wily plotting, swift pacing, mordant wit: Child is one skillful writer.”

    — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

  • “High-octane, heart-racing…Child is one of the few authors whose books featuring a series character just get better and better.”

    — Library Journal

  • “The best thrillers run on high-octane narrative fuel, but they are not plot-driven. To generate real thrills, an author must put real people behind the wheel, and Child does exactly that…Bones crunch, wounds bleed, and hearts break in this galvanizing tale.”

    — Booklist (starred review)

  • “There’s a reason [Child] is known as the master of the plot twist.”

    — New York Daily News

  • “The secret to writing a great scene: Start in the middle of the action, then leave the reader hanging. Child has coupled that formula to a razor-sharp style and crafted seven perfect thrillers. One press clip boasted that he’s ‘the best thriller writer you’re probably not reading—yet.’ Time to start.”

    — Playboy

  • “The story is…as tightly wound as Reacher himself.”

    — Entertainment Weekly

Awards

  • A New York Times bestseller
  • A USA Today bestseller
  • A 2003 CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Finalist

    " I loved the last book so my hopes were huge for this one but I was dissapointed. The story is rather basic and the characters surrounding Reacher are for the most part pretty boring even the villain doesnt do much for the excitement. Its a huge dissapointment and I am hoping for better in the future "
