Jack Reacher is doing as he always does traveling around
just living his life when he picks up an Army Times and
sees his name in the personals. Knowing it's a bad idea
Jack calls the person in the ad anyway and goes with them
when they come for him. What they want is for Jack to help
stop a sniper that he put in jail years ago, a sniper that
is threatening the world leaders. Jack knows something
isn't right about all this, if the most powerful
intelligence agencies in the world are looking for this guy
what can he possibly give to the situation. As the chase
begins so does the action and it doesn't stop till the end.
Reacher is at it again and better than ever.
All Jack Reacher books can be read as standalones but
the series
is a great one and Reacher is a great character. He is fast
thinking and smarter than the other guy. As a former
Military Police officer, I had a hard time with his earlier
books in the series and their accuracy, but over the years
and books Lee Child has defiantly gotten more accurate. But
really the stories are so good that those who know are
usually able to get past it and just enjoy reading the
actions and antics of Jack Reacher. He is a big strong man
who lives as he likes and moves through life in a way most
people only wish they could.
PERSONAL is another hit by Lee
Child in the Reacher series.
Jack Reacher returns in the latest fast-moving,
action-packed, suspenseful book from #1 New York Times
bestselling author Lee Child.
You can leave the army, but the army doesn’t leave you. Not
always. Not completely, notes Jack Reacher—and sure enough,
the retired military cop is soon pulled back into service.
This time, for the State Department and the CIA.
Someone has taken a shot at the president of France in the
City of Light. The bullet was American. The distance between
the gunman and the target was exceptional. How many snipers
can shoot from three-quarters of a mile with total
confidence? Very few, but John Kott—an American marksman
gone bad—is one of them. And after fifteen years in prison,
he’s out, unaccounted for, and likely drawing a bead on a
G-8 summit packed with enough world leaders to tempt any
assassin.
If anyone can stop Kott, it’s the man who beat him before:
Reacher. And though he’d rather work alone, Reacher is
teamed with Casey Nice, a rookie analyst who keeps her cool
with Zoloft. But they’re facing a rough road, full of
ruthless mobsters, Serbian thugs, close calls,
double-crosses—and no backup if they’re caught. All the
while Reacher can’t stop thinking about the woman he once
failed to save. But he won’t let that that happen again. Not
this time. Not Nice.
Reacher never gets too close. But now a killer is making it
personal.
