Bad Luck And Trouble

[Reacher] has long since gained mythical status...storytelling of the highest order: lean, laconic, laced with tension

Evening Standard

Almost overnight, British author Lee Child created one of the world's most enduring and popular fiction characters in Jack Reacher . . . Child is a great storyteller . . . the reader never feels conned . . . Another sure-fire hit

Daily Mirror

As always, the action is intense, the pace unrelenting, and the violence unforgiving. Child remains the reigning master at combining breakneck yet brilliantly constructed plotting with characters who continually surprise us with their depth

Booklist - starred review

Forget the A-team. If you're in a fix, and you want help, you need Jack Reacher....the twists come thick and fast, the false trails are cleverly laid and the surprise developments are genuinely unexpected...Child, as always, delivers

Yorkshire Evening Post

It's his hero, hyper-tough ex-US army special investigator Jack Reacher, who keeps me coming back for more...never a dull moment

Guardian

Jack Reacher has the manliness of John Wayne, the coping skills of Jack Bauer, the fieldcraft of John Rambo and the coolness of Dirty Harry

Sunday Times

One of the truly memorable tough-guy heroes in recent fiction

Jeffrey Deaver

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 - starred review

Reacher is one of those characters who is admired by his male readers and lusted after by his female ones in equal measure . . . Child's tough-as-nails protagonist has become one of the most appealing of contemporary heroes

Daily Express

The invicible Reacher is as irresistible as ever

Sunday Telegraph
