Description
Book SynopsisDrop-out military cop Jack Reacher has hitchhiked his way to Virginia. His destination, the closest thing to a home he ever had: the headquarters of his old unit, the 110th Military Police. Reacher has no real reason to be here, except that he spoke to the new commanding officer on the phone. He liked Major Susan Turner's voice.
Trade ReviewThe
bone-crunching, joint-popping action is as technically precise and
primevally satisfying as ever. The extra-lean prose is as
ruthlessly linear as the plot…[However,]Lee Child proves he can write about emotions other than lust and anger and reveals his hero to be more than just a
man of steel. Eighteen novels in, his franchise shows no sign of running out of steam. -- Mark Sanderson * Evening Standard *
Lee Child’s bodacious action hero, Jack Reacher, has already tramped through 17 novels and three ebook singles. But his latest, “Never Go Back,” may be the best desert island reading in the series. It’s exceptionally well plotted. And full of wild surprises. And wise about Reacher’s peculiar nature.
/Mr. Child’s Jack Reacher series is as brainy as it is brawny...Starting with an opening sequence that throws three huge surprises at Reacher, there are more neat tricks and clever set pieces in this one volume than Mr. Child has ever strung together before...Read it. You’ll see why.
-- Janet Maslin * New York Times *
Is Reacher getting
soft? Not a chance. The
righteous violence when it comes is still pretty
astonishing. This is one of Reacher's
best outings. A
must for all fans. * Daily Express *
Jack Reacher is a
man's man, a loner, a
renegade crusader for justic...The
harder-than-nails hero is on the
top of his form...You'd better read it. * Sun *
This may well be the best of the bunch...some of the best, wiliest writing Child has ever done. * Scotland on Sunday *
