Genre - Thriller

This is another Reacher thriller all on his own and all the powers that be after him, and the fact that as all Reacher readers know, he is not necessarily the guilty party.


Reacher, an ex Marine and no place of residence, once again finds himself hitching a ride in the car with 2 wanted men and perhaps an innocent lady as well. This is not what it seems, but leads a merry chase involving the kidnapping of a 10year old girl as well as Reacher ending up in the desert with all the bad guys.

A must read, and anyone that has seen the latest film with Tom Cruise playing the role as Reacher is disillusioned. Reacher in actual fact is 6’5” tall and with a heavy build and famous for his ‘trivia’ brain that keeps him out of trouble, not quite the complete role play of Cruise. Therefore, the book is a must read for all.

Genre - Suspense

Reacher once again is on the track to find out if the killing of beautiful females in the outback country where an military base is established. It involves a Senator, and highly ranked military officials based in the Pentagon, or does it? Who is to blame. Reacher is under cover to find out why, does he accept the military’s reasons or does he go and tie up loose ends to his own satisfaction. This book is one of Child’s earliest reads and gives the circumstances why he ends up in later books as a ‘lone ranger’.

Trivia: Did you know that the Pentagon is the world’s largest office building, boasting six hundred and a half million square feet with thirty thousand people, and more than 17 miles of corridors?
