Child, Lee Bad Luck and Trouble
Transworld Publishers 2007 0-593-05700-7 / 9780593057001 Paperback Very Good+
Jack Reacher is the fiction twin of TV's Jack Bauer. Both men have utter in tegrity born of inner conviction. Both are deeply patriotic, but their patr iotism owes nothing to whoever is currently in charge and everything to an inner moral code. This makes them both outsiders, not the kind of men who w ill ever be promoted to general but who are excellent at inspiring loyalty in a small-team, and who are incorruptible. Both are rootless, restless: th ey can't settle into a family life or domestic relationship for more than t he length of a book or series (useful for filmic adaptations), and both men have personal tragedy in their backgrounds that gives them an air of vulne rability beneath their tough-guy exterior. Perfect.

Child, Lee Echo Burning
Jove April 30, 2002 0-515-13331-0 / 9780515133318 Paperback Near Fine
Jack Reacher, the vagabond freelance lawman who never hesitates to stick hi s nose into private business, takes his lively act to Texas, embroiling him self in what starts as a messy domestic dispute before turning far more omi nous. The rugged former army cop comes to the aid of Carmen Greer, who pick s him up on the side of the road one morning outside Lubbock, then asks him to kill her abusive husband. Sloop Greer is getting out of prison in a few days, and Carmen fears he will start beating her again. Reacher declines, but agrees to protect Carmen, hiring on as a cowhand at the couple's remote ranch in Echo County, Tex., far outside Pecos. Within hours of Sloop's ret urn from prison, where he was serving time for tax evasion, violence strike s. But the victim isn't Carmen; it's Sloop. He's found shot dead, and Carme n is arrested. End of story? Hardly. Most wandering heroes would move on at this point, but not Reacher. He begins taking a hard look at both Carmen a nd Sloop's past, as well as local history. What he finds ugly secrets, huma n suffering, political evil is repulsive to a man who's been around as many blocks as Reacher. Child (Running Blind; Tripwire) has developed a fine fr anchise with Reacher, who comes from the Robin Hood mold, but has enough pe rsonal quirks and moments of unusual insight to separate him from the pack. Set in a literally and figuratively smoldering landscape, this is a clean, infectious story that taps deeply into two troubling human emotions the ps ychology of abuse and the desire for retribution.

Child, Lee One Shot
Dell March 28, 2006 0-440-24102-2 / 9780440241027 Paperback Very Good
The final sentence of Child's ninth suspenser (after The Enemy)--"Then he c ould buy a pair of shoes and be just about anywhere before the sun went dow n"--is quintessential Jack Reacher, the rugged ex-army cop who practically defines the word "loner" and kicks ass with the best of 'em. In the book's gripping opening, five people are killed when a shooter opens fire in a sma ll unnamed Indiana city. But when ex-infantry specialist James Barr is appr ehended, he refuses to talk, saying only, "Get Jack Reacher for me." But Re acher's already en route; having seen a news story on the shooting, he head s to the scene with disturbing news of his own: "[Barr's] done this before. And once was enough." Nothing is what it seems in the riveting puzzle, as vivid set pieces and rapid-fire dialogue culminate in a slam-bang showdown in the villains' lair. (And what villains: a quintet of Russian émigrés, th e stuff of everybody's worst nightmares, led by a wily 80-year-old who make s Freddy Krueger look like Little Lord Fauntleroy.) As usual, Child makes t he most of Reacher's dry wit, cut-to-the-chase psychology and stubborn taci turnity--in short, this is a vintage double play for author and leading man .

Child, Lee The Enemy
Dell April 26, 2005 0-440-24101-4 / 9780440241010 Paperback Near Fine
Child continues to knock out his action sequences with flair, but in The En emy, he takes time to depict the piecemeal construction of a criminal inves tigation. He also spends energy on the hero’s relationship with his m other and brother, an effort that further fills in Reachers background and will surely please long-time fans of the character. It’s true, Child throws in some clichéd elements to this otherwise first-rate story. But mos t reviewers easily looked past that flaw.After reading these books for so m any years, I'm not easily kept in the dark, claims the St. Petersburg Times , always fun when I'm still guessing toward the end.

Child, Lee The Hard Way
Dell March 27, 2007 0-440-24103-0 / 9780440241034 Paperback Near Fine
Starred Review. In bestseller Child's 10th novel to feature ex-army MP Jack Reacher (after 2005's One Shot), a sidewalk cafe encounter in New York Cit y plunges Reacher into one of his most challenging--and thoroughly engrossi ng--adventures to date. Acting out of "reflex and professional curiosity" ( and the promise of a generous fee), Reacher agrees to help sinister ex-army officer Edward Lane, whose posse of six Special Forces veterans are even m ore ominous than he, track down his kidnapped daughter and trophy wife. Sin ce the kidnapping of wife number one five years earlier ended in her death, Lane cautions Reacher that he will not brook police interference ("You bre ak your word, I'll put your eyes out"). From Lane's quarters in the West Si de's venerable Dakota apartment building to the shady sections of SoHo and Greenwich Village, the author's atmospheric descriptions make Manhattan a l eading player, with menace lurking at every intersection. The inevitable sh owdown, on a farm outside a tiny English village, ranks as one of Child's m ost thrilling finales.
