Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Jack Reacher will make three stops today. Not all of them were planned for. The “blockbuster” (Esquire) new Jack Reacher thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling authors Lee Child and Andrew Child, featuring “the best villain yet” (USA Today)!
Don’t miss the hit streaming series Reacher!
First—a Baltimore coffee shop. A seat in the corner, facing the door. Black coffee, two refills, no messing around. A minor interruption from two of the customers, but nothing he can’t deal with swiftly. As he leaves, a young guy brushes against him in the doorway. Instinctively Reacher checks the pocket holding his cash and passport. There’s no problem. Nothing is missing.
Second—a store to buy a coat. Nothing fancy. Something he can ditch when he heads to warmer climates. Large enough to fit a man the size of a bank vault. As he pulls out his cash, he finds something new in his pocket. A handwritten note. A desperate plea for help.
Third—wherever this bend in the road takes him. Impressed by the guy’s technique and intrigued by the message, Reacher makes it his mission to find out more . . .
Reviews
The series is dead
1By Booger76Since Lee Child handed over the reins this series has gone downhill. The writing is completely off. Jack doesn’t speak the same, the cadence is different. Likely won’t buy any more of this series. It’s just sad.Disappointing
3By SLP PAI have read everything Reacher, exept a few of the short stories. This is the only one I found a bit boring. At least he didn’t kills dozens of people. It is easy to feel the difference between Lee Child and Andrew. Imlook forward to more true character Reacher stories.All over the place
3By Coolguy02At times hard to follow and ending was very flat and short. A lot of loose ends not tied up by the end. Authors could have done a better job.Not the best
2By Mandygirl917Confusing story at times. Some things made no sense and overall choppy writing. Not a believable story.Not a great Reacher Story
2By TsumebPretty weak Reacher book. Pretty flimsy story. Could have skipped this one.Terrible
1By D.D.gmPlease don’t waste your time or money. The new author can’t write!!!It’s Reacher
4By JamieD19806.5 out of 10Couldn’t ask for more…
5By HunchoJay4814Classic Reacher , I needed a fix lol !Not his best work
1By YbotnosNot enough pure Reacher.Exit Strategy
1By KT4RMade Reacher seem like a murderous robot. Seems like the plot was how many different extreme ways can Reacher injure or kill someone. The attempted “plot” was ridiculous.I’m done
1By HammersqFor 25 years the next Jack Reacher book was something I could look forward to, like Thanksgiving or a birthday. And then they changed. Fundamentally. And now I simply can’t read them without being sad. Like watching your parent or friend slip away. I’ve tried for the last couple of years but I’m done. This book is such a hot mess I simply have no words. It’s like watching Tom Cruise, all 5’8” of him, try to be Reacher. Peace out.Exit Strategy
2By DrLDawgDense and boring. No real spark of the Reacher we knowNot recommended
1By SteveSSelfPoor writing. The strong essence of Reacher is gone. What made this series great is absent from the new writing. Not recommended.Review title
1By Mike the editorThe worst Reacher book ever!!!Lee had nothing to do with this schlock. Don’t ruin the legacy by helping your family and publisher grab a few more fists full of dollars, Reacher deserves more than that! I used to read a Lee Child written Reacher in one sitting. This took me weeks and I had to force myself to finish it. Don’t do anymore. ThanksThankful
5By LuxEstoI am remarkably sad this is Lee’s last, and, filled with great praise and thankfulness for this last swan song. Enjoy your retirement Master. I have been a recipient of great joy from your creative imagination and remarkable detail. With deep gratitude and appreciation. LannyMore, bigger, better…
5By Mickey KWReacher is great at “just being Reacher” in Exit Strategy, more beginning to end:Not the Same Reacher
3By Drunkin'SwmerThe writing style has changed and our beloved Reacher isn’t the same character. Yes, he’s still a big guy, does the right thing, but the way Lee Child would build the story around descriptions and details in missing. I’ve read every Reacher book and this one just doesn’t fit with the others.Not good
2By WGCJrI won’t buy another Reacher.Exit Strategy
3By Jared P from the Central CoastFairly disconnected and not all that interesting. Definitely a step down.
