burning match. Building on this harrowing start, Lee Child brings us another novel of nonstop high-speed suspense. Die Trying confirms his sizable talent and the magnetic appeal of Reacher, a hero who seems like someone with plenty of tales to tell (The Philadelphia Inquirer). Fortunately for us, he is and he will.

Lee Child

This author writes wonderful stories. I read all of them. You know the man is going to win in the end. But how he gets there is fascinating!


Another Reacher classic

Lee Child has taken reacher into another situation not of his own making. H estumbles into a kidnap by accident. Jack Reacher is in both the wrong and the right place at the same time when FBI Special Agent and daughter of the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Holly Johnson is abducted from a Chicago street. It is the wrong place because Reacher, a former army major drifting around the country, is kidnapped as well. It is the right place because only he has the instincts to foil the complex, deadly plan of the kidnappers, a Montana militia group headed by a charismatic, brilliant, but psychotic leader. Child's tale, very well read by Dick Hill, engrossingly portrays Reacher's efforts to manipulate the captors; the behind-the-scenes maneuvering of the FBI, the army, and the White House; and the many unexpected roadblocks thrown in his path. As usual he right all the wrongs and leaves town without a trace, marching into the next Reacher novel. Excellent.

"Jack Reacher fights a Montana Millitia"

This is the second Jack Reacher Novel, by Lee Child. My Aunt sent me "One Shot" which I loved, so I decided to read the Jack Reacher Novels in sequence. I didn't like this as well as "Killing Floor" but still found it above average. Liked the Kidnapped Female Agent who is the center of the Novel. But I didn't think the book needed two traitors within the bureau. This book is a fun, thrilling read.


24 on paper

Just finished this one. Awesome. Ultra-violence. "24" in a novel. Absolutely absurd. Plot that makes no sense, and lots of nonsensical twists. 2D villians. Superman and superwoman. Still great. Compelling reading. "Moby Dick" for sniper rifles. Does not disappoint. Writing is actually very skilled if not very deep. Complicated plots, but not so hard to follow. I am sure I will go through all of the Reacher books, in order. So far, not sure which is better, this one or the first one, "Killing Floor." Can't believe this author is a Brit! This is a long way from MC Beaton and Rebus.

OK, but ..........

An OK book, but not at the level of John Sanford. I got very tired of the author using the word "right" at the end of everyone's dialogue. It gets old after a while, right?
