Electrifyingthis series is utterly addictive. – New York Times [An] action-packed thrill ride. – Chicago Sun-Times A slam-bang yarn filled with Childs usual terse life-and-death lessons. – Entertainment Weekly Tension-packedone of the most enjoyable of the Reacher thrillers. – Orlando Sentinel Should be required reading for all aficionados of the genre. – New York Sun A breathless, ultra-cool novel with relentless pacing. – Plain Dealer One of Childs more satisfying finales. – Publishers Weekly One of the best books in the series. – Library Journal (starred review) Child remains the reigning master at combining breakneck yet brilliantly constructed plotting with characters who continually surprise us with their depth. – Booklist (starred review) Perhaps there are action-lit writers more recognizable than Child, but the bet is that none of them will turn in a tighter-plotted, richer-peopled, faster-paced page-turner this year. – Kirkus Reviews (starred review) With his spare and gritty writing style, Child again tosses his remote yet charismatic hero Jack Reacher into an all-too-personal case. With his own highly evolved moral code, Reacher is without doubt one of the most complicated and fascinating heroes around. Child is in a class by himself. – RT Book Reviews
