 A Well Written Brain Candy Read October 18, 2008
Lee Child is an Englishman living in the US. His main character is Jack Reacher, a former military policeman-turned loner who "walks the Eath" in the US, with trouble usually following not far behind.
In this book Reacher learns a member of his former platoon has been found dead outside Las Vegas, so he gets his old investigative unit together to find out what happened to the guy.
The story doesn't bear much hard analysis (a middle-East terrorist and his cronies might or might not be up to something), but Child writes this sort of stuff so well that it isn't until later that you notice that the Reacher and his gang come up with the much needed clue at exactly the right time to advance the plot.
Don't get me wrong, this isn't a work of littery genius, so if you're looking for a book that'll change your life or the world you live in, this isn't the book for you. If, however, you want a book that'll be involving or take your mind off things for a couple of hours, you could do a lot worse than this book (Simon Kernick for example), especially if you're a guy (it is "guy fiction" if I'm honest).

A good outing for Reacher with some old friends from his past...good story line, excellent suspense and intigue....excellent thriller
Big Lee Child fan is entertained August 21, 2008
This is a different tale bringing Reacher`s past colleagues into the plot from the military police. It adds depth to the plot and makes a great read even better than usual. Excellent read.
 bit tired round the edges July 31, 2008
Reacher seems to be running out of steam a bit with this plot. Not the best by a long way. Look at the Soft Target books by Conrad Jones, electrifying series of novels. Lee Child fans will still enjoy this one, just not as much as some, such as the Killing Floor, at his best, and Nothing to lose at the other extreme.
