Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Don’t miss the hit streaming series Reacher!
Jack Reacher is back! The “utterly addictive” (The New York Times) series continues as acclaimed author Lee Child teams up with his brother, Andrew Child, fellow thriller writer extraordinaire.
“One of the many great things about Jack Reacher is that he’s larger than life while remaining relatable and believable. The Sentinel shows that two Childs are even better than one.”—James Patterson
As always, Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. One morning he ends up in a town near Pleasantville, Tennessee.
But there’s nothing pleasant about the place.
In broad daylight Reacher spots a hapless soul walking into an ambush. “It was four against one” . . . so Reacher intervenes, with his own trademark brand of conflict resolution.
The man he saves is Rusty Rutherford, an unassuming IT manager, recently fired after a cyberattack locked up the town’s data, records, information . . . and secrets. Rutherford wants to stay put, look innocent, and clear his name.
Reacher is intrigued. There’s more to the story. The bad guys who jumped Rutherford are part of something serious and deadly, involving a conspiracy, a cover-up, and murder—all centered on a mousy little guy in a coffee-stained shirt who has no idea what he’s up against.
Rule one: if you don’t know the trouble you’re in, keep Reacher by your side.
Reviews
Plot convoluted but plenty of action.
4By CareerMovesSperanski was mentioned numerous times as the top string-pulling bad guy. No mention of him in the windup.AWESOME

1By Madic J. CarterIt was obvious that this book was written by someone other than Lee Child. I own every book in the series, but will not be purchasing any other books that include Andrew Child In the writing process.Solid fast-paced thriller with plenty of complex factors

3By boots saddleNot really up to Reacher previous standards. Extremely wordy and verbose. Save your money.Aboveground
4By Handsome SmittyWordy, yet efficient. A thriller fishing wide for the biggest catch. Guess that’s the point. And why we keep following Reacher down the road…Sentinel is great.
5By One year planGreat read, couldn’t put it down after I started. I don’t understand the negative comments because it moved fast and kept me interested throughout the entire story.Sentinel
2By OaboatmanGood beginning and end. Totally lost in the middle trying to follow the plot. Not up to the level I expect from Lee Child. Hope this is not the end of an amazing series about a man all real men dream they could be.The Sentinel
5By Squidney3799The best.A thriller for sure.Good book
4By Huey01234I enjoyed the pace of the book and Reacher was again on point.Great!
5By nmoneybdishAll comes together in the end good novel !New writer. Just ok.
3By jmit22After several pages into this it was plain there was a new writer. Same Reacher character but just enough differences to make it slightly off and kind of weird, disconcerting. Definitely not as good as Lee Child historically. I’ll try one more and may have to move on to other authors. Kind of like when Clancy passed and they’ve had other authors continue with his characters.
