As always, the bad guys - this time, Russian spies and American-Nazi thugs - discover too late that they are no match for Reacher. After rescuing Rutherford from a kidnapping attempt, Reacher gradually discovers that the seemingly isolated attack is part of a conspiracy to undermine the coming national election. There, Rusty Rutherford, a nerdy IT manager, is being blamed for a cyber-attack that wiped out the town’s computer data. The story begins when Reacher wanders into the little town of Pleasantville, Tennessee. For another, the hero has become a bit chatty, talking more with other characters and telling readers more about his thinking, including how he maps out hand-to-hand combat in advance with thugs who outnumber him. For one thing, the technologically averse Reacher has acquired a cell phone. The change in authors is subtle but detectable. Jack Reacher stars several Oscar caliber actors including Cruise, Rosamund Pike, Richard Jenkins, David Oyelowo, Robert Duvall, and Werner Herzog.
Jack reacher review series#
It is Andrew who wrote most of “The Sentinel,” but because the names “Child” and “Reacher” are forever bound together, he adopted the penname Andrew Child to carry the series into the future.
What a legacy for Lee Child, one that he now shares with his co-author and brother.
It is said that a novel featuring Jack Reacher is sold somewhere in the world every nine seconds.
But Reacher, the mythic avenger who wanders the back roads of America like a modern day Lone Ranger, is too popular to fade away, so Grant (aka Child), has turned the series over to his younger brother Andrew Grant, the author of nine thrillers published under his real name. Review Better Off Dead: A Jack Reacher Novel.
