Ah, this is back when Lee Child was still spinning real adventure stories. Yeah, Reacher is Reacher. But there's a solid thriller built around it here. Entertaining stuff.

I am a big fan of Child’s Jack Reacher series. Reacher is a wandering former military policeman who owns nothing more than the clothes on his back and the stuff in his pockets. There seems to always be another crime to solve or injustice to set right. Fun reading.

I’ve enjoyed the Jack Reacher series, and this one didn’t disappoint. Reacher is a retired Army investigator whose entire belongings are the toothbrush in his pocket and the clothes on his back. He wanders through life and runs into his share of trouble. This one was a pretty good story.

Jack Reacher, vigilante, inciting a gang war between rival Eastern European crime syndicates and then killing them all with the help of some friends? This series is in decline, methinks.
