Liked It “Lee Child grabs you from about page 1 and doesn't let go. I very much enjoyed the first book in the series, but this was far better. Very good story. Reacher once again kills lots of people, all of it seemingly justified. |

I wonder how the author is going to be able to keep Reacher falling into these types of situations without it getting trite.”
“took me forever to find the time to get this book finished, wished i could have read it quicker with less time between readings... it was really intense and suspenseful, i will read more for sure.”

“An easy read and enjoyable. I like the character and although not a probable situation, still somewhat believable. Good character development.”

“So once again (well this is only the second time, but still) Jack Reacher is in the wrong place at the very wrong time. A woman is kidnapped just as he helps her gather items she drops so he gets hauled away too.

But let me just say, Jack Reacher kicks some serious ass. This man is freaking amazing and I can't believe a movie hasn't been made from these books! He's much more interesting than Jason Bourne! Maybe the problem is there is no one in Hollywood who could hold a candle to the image that Jack Reacher creates for himself.
The story is a punch in the gut. Every time you think this is it, Reacher saves the day. He's a machine! The story continues to unfold even after you think you have everything figured out. There really isn't a good place to stop and take a break from the book!”

Jack Reacher stops to help a lady and finds himself kidnapped along with the woman. Handcuffed in the back of a truck, he finds himself taken across the States. When he finally finds out what the ransom is he cannot believe what he hears. He knows that he must get both the woman and him out before it is too late, even if it means his death.
This book was fairy fast–paced and action-filled. I enjoyed reading it. The plot was great, although I am not sure if all of it was completely plausible, hence the lower star-count than the last book. The villains in this novel were very interesting and although they were the ones against Reacher, I couldn’t help but enjoy the scenes containing their characters. The setting was wonderful and went across many States, ending up in one not seen in a lot of books, I will not say which one as it would give away some of the plot.
I recommend this novel to Lee Child fans, or anyone looking for a good thriller.

“I tried listening to this once before, and didn't like it. This seems a classic example of starting from the beginning in a series. I recently finished Killing Flloor, the first one, and while it is brutal and violent, it was well done. So I'm rereading this. Reacher is kidnapped with an high level fbi agent and taken by terrorists to a survivalist camp in Montana. The leader is set on creating a new country, and using the agent as a method of pointing out his commitment. ”
