" This is a fascinating account of a case that defined Reacher's military career. Once again, he manages to unspool interesting threads in the days when the Berlin Wall was coming down and the Cold War was ending. This meant a likely shift in the composition of the army and Reacher finds himself in the middle of that transition. Child's book takes advantage of using a reflective lens to foreshadow the geopolitical future as we know it now. Overall, it's another winner. "

" This was on the bookshelf in my vacation rental, and since everyone seems to like Lee Child, I picked it up. Great read, and I haven't read any others in the series. I'm definitely going back to read the others. Good suspense and mystery; great military details for the novice. "

" One of my favorites in the series so far. This is the book that explains how and why Jack Reacher will leave his career as a military police. It takes place while Reacher is still an MP. He gets an emergency transfer to a new base and ends up investigating the death of a general, his wife and a Delta solider. There is a bigger coverup going on but it is complex and interesting. Also nice to meet Jack's brother Joe while he is alive and working for the Treasury department. An added bonus for me were the scenes in Paris. "

" I'm starting to go back and pick up the older Reacher novels that I haven't read. This is another strong story from Mr Child. It adds some to the overall Reacher mystique. Its weird now to read a book that talks about faxing and other 20th century technologies. "

" This was an okay book. The book is set in the past when Reacher was in the army. The story help explains who Reacher is in the present, and how he ended where he did when he left the army. "

" The tri-fecta: Inside man, unlikely romance, pointless subplot. Lee Child has a European's view of American institutions: they're all corrupt and evil and oppressive. It gets old. "

" I have gotten slowly moer fond of jack Reacher, the more I read--this one has him still in the military police, so he at least has a job that gives him an excuse for the kinds of trouble that he gets himself into along the way, and his repsonses are slightly more justified. "

" This was a really good mystery with plenty of twists and turns. Reacher was an engaging character. This was the 8th book in the series. But I didn't feel like I had missed 7 books o history on the character. Definitely going to read more in the series. "

" I really enjoy most of the Jack Reacher series, but this one was a disappointment. It was slow, and, well... boring. Nothing like what I've come to expect from Lee Child. "

" I felt that this book dragged on and on and could have been cut in half. It was weird to read about Reachers Mom and Brother being alive. I wish this book would have been written sooner in the series to explain how he became ex-military and about his family. "

" Ripping good read. I gave this novel a 3 because I thought the main character, Reacher, acted out of character in a scene near the end (my opinion only). Otherwise, I would have rated this a 4. It's worth reading for the ride Child's takes you on. "

" I liked this one because it takes place during 1990 in the army. It gives good back story on Jack Reacher, his mother, brother, and career. He mentions in other books about making it to major and being demoted to captain and back up to major. This story goes over the demotion aspect. "
