Family secrets come back to haunt Jack Reacher in this electrifying thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child, 'a superb craftsman of suspense' ( Entertainment Weekly ). Jack Reacher hits the pavement and sticks out his thumb. He plans to follow the sun on an epic trip across America, from Maine to California. He doesn’t get far. On a country road deep in the New England woods, he sees a sign to a place he has never been: the town where his father was born.
He thinks, What’s one extra day? He takes the detour. At the same moment, in the same isolated area, a car breaks down. Two young Canadians had been on their way to New York City to sell a treasure.
Now they’re stranded at a lonely motel in the middle of nowhere. The owners seem almost too friendly. It’s a strange place, but it’s all there is. The next morning, in the city clerk’s office, Reacher asks about the old family home. He’s told no one named Reacher ever lived in town.
Jack Reacher has 134 entries in the series. Borrow eBooks, audiobooks, and videos from thousands of public libraries worldwide. Lee Child is the author of twenty-two New York Times bestselling Jack Reacher thrillers, with thirteen having reached the #1 position, and the #1 bestselling complete Jack Reacher story collection, No Middle Name. All his novels have been optioned.
He’s always known his father left and never returned, but now Reacher wonders, Was he ever there in the first place? As Reacher explores his father’s life, and as the Canadians face lethal dangers, strands of different stories begin to merge.
Then Reacher makes a shocking discovery: The present can be tough, but the past can be tense.. My thanks to Random House/Ballantine and Netgalley for letting me read this arc for my honest opinion. It's actually been a few years since I've read Jack Reacher. I'll confess that when I heard that Tom Cruise was playing Reacher in a movie it kind of ruined the image. Of course, I first had to spit the vomit out of my mouth, and spend a few minutes cussing. It's not that I dislike Cruise, its just that I think he's human garbage. Well, look at my little rant.
How embarrassing. Not enough to delete it.Anyways, thankfully enough time has passed, and Reacher is again a very big man. Cruise's 3 foot 8 inches.oh, damn. Look at me go! O.K., Seriously, I really enjoyed this book.
I liked the story, and I actually enjoyed the main characters, and was kind of anxious for them. Reacher doesn't always save all the good guys. Maybe its because its been awhile, but Jack seemed a wee bit more cold blooded than before. I did leave this book wondering about the aftermath.
Still, once again I'm engaged with Jack Reacher. I really did enjoy this story. It made me tense. When my muscles say 'let loose woman,' then I know a book has gotten to me!
I’ve been reading the Jack Reacher series since Lee Child wrote his first. How wonderful it is after finishing #23 in the series to say it’s definitely one of my favorites! Jack Reacher, our 6’5” ex-military hero is on a journey from Maine to California and decides to take a pit stop in Laconia, New Hampshire to check out his father’s birthplace. Scanning through records at town hall and researching census from long ago bring him in contact with a lot of different characters - some nice and some not-so-nice. I always like to see the not-so-nice come into play as this means some action is to be expected. I’ve got to tell you I love his hand-to-hand fighting skills that emerge and the surprise of his foes.
Bring on all the details! My father had us watching every war movie and John Wayne film since I was a kid. I love, love, seeing Reacher beat up the bullies. What I really liked about this book is the duel storyline. Two young Canadians, Shory, and his smarter girlfriend, Patty, break down at an isolated, creepy motel not far off from Laconia.
Unbeknownst to them, they are about to enter hell. They are in desperate need of Reacher’s help. The two stories converge with a lot of action and excitement. Albino 3 vst torrent.
Meanwhile, there are some other nasty folks around that our hero gives a mighty fine lesson. A definite stand out for me is the female ex-MP, now Laconia cop, Reacher interacts with throughout the book. If you have never met Jack Reacher yet, but would like to meet a man that likes intelligent women, doesn’t take any crap from anyone, and will protect those that are in despair, read this book. It doesn’t matter that you haven’t read the others in the series. 5 out of 5 exciting stars Thanks to NetGalley, Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine, and the fabulous Lee Child for the ARC. Perennial traveller Jack Reacher is journeying down to San Diego for some warm weather, his thumb is his ticket. Early on he spots the name of a New England town he recognises as the place his father grew up.
