Kindle Customer: I'm slowly working through all the Reacher novels, not in chronological order, and I've got about 6/7 to go. This is another superb read and a cracking yarn. You can't get enough of this guy in my opinion. Great to have a story when he's still in army. Highly recommended

BigEck601: Enjoyed the novel, as I have with all the Jack Reacher books so far. I like his no nonsense strait forward approach to challenges. One detail that was over looked is the Fort Irwin in not 30 miles out of the LA sprawl but 150 miles from LAX so drive time is more like 3 hours.

SteveBaz: A well thought out military, men’s detective book. Keeps you guessing from chapter to chapter a bit slow in the beginning, and builds throughout the entire book a story that becomes very real and true.

Lee Child has a Way to create mystery and characters that sound and feel real. It has fact and some fiction that is true to life wonderful reading.

R. Loe: Lee Child can weave an interesting tale about Jack Reacher but may drive readers who are familiar with proper sentence structure and use of punctuation to the brink. I know that’s the case for me. I purchased the entire Jack Reacher series of books after seeing the first season of the series. I never would have read so many of his books if I hadn’t already paid for them.
I have often wondered why, with all the money that Lee Child must have brought in from his writing, he can’t seem to afford a staff who will proofread and correct the many mistakes throughout his books. Same goes for his publisher.
I held onto hope with each successive book that he might learn something about writing and make his books easier to read. I hoped, with the addition of his brother on the last couple, that the books would improve but seemed to get only worse. Sometimes, 2 whole pages of back-and-forth banter are written with nothing to occasionally let you know who is speaking, so multiple readings may be needed at times to sort it out. I think almost all, if not all, of the pages have sentences with commas where none are needed, periods where commas are needed, clauses used as sentences,...

Juraj: Brilliant stuff, an excursion into the past as well as the hero's psyche. The natural step after Persuader.

Here's the tree:

ONE--The first book outlines the future books

in crude form. Everyhing is in Killing Floor, good and bad,

the corny as well as perfect plots, the terrific and flaccid

prose, the cliched and profound characters, the gripping as well as tedious action sequences. It's a test, and it's such

a mess at times that it is "out" of the series. Except that it's

where Joe dies. Aside from that, it's "for fans only".

TWO--Die Trying is actually the first book, a well-connected

triumph of the elemnts that distinguish the best of the series.

Spooky, weird, hideous, tender, and extremely powerful, for ex the cave and tunnel sequence. It succeeds everywhere Killing Floor either fails, muddles or flies apart. The first of the truly creepy villians. Now he's cooking.

THREE--Tripwire, the grand slam homerun, the royal flush, the best of the series and one of the most stunning thrillers ever written. This is greatness! Conrad, Poe, Wells, Verne level.

It's a perfect book. Everything works. Scary...
