This book is set in 1992, and takes us back to Reacher when he was a Captain in the army. Reacher is brought in as a member of a high level team set up by the Secretary of Defence to determine why five former scientists have been murdered. The thing they have in common is they all worked at an American research facility in India in 1969. Something happened at that centre that caused a quick closure of the facility, and a big disbursement of staff back to American shores. It was nice to see Reacher as an army officer, and his interaction with other army staff and superiors. He is still the Jack Reacher that we know and love though--big, brawny, an excellent tactician, and someone who won't tolerate bullshit, and wants to get to the truth at all costs. It also became clear to me why he decided to leave the army and strike out on his own. This is an excellent book, and Reacher and his team's efforts to get to the bottom of this big and very secret mystery kept me guessing until the end. If you are a Jack Reacher fan, you need to read this book.… (més)

Short, sharp, sentences; pacy, twisty, plotline; gutsy, gory action - Jack Reacher prevails! What's not to like?

Once there’d been eight of them...military cops Reacher had molded into an elite unit. Suddenly, four of them are dead, killed by person or persons unknown, and Jack Reacher is out to repay the evil deed. “You don’t mess with the Special Investigators' . The army was a thing of the past, but in Reacher’s philosophy loyalty is timeless... imperishable. “There are dead men walking.” "You don’t throw my friends out of helicopters and live to tell the tale.” For vengeance to go forward there are questions that must be answered. Such as, why are they being hunted so many years after they’ve stopped making enemies? A blood-soaked chess game begins with gambits, and deadly traps. Reacher's own hunt takes him from California to Las Vegas. He knows that they've make mistakes, corrected them, edged closer to the answers they need in order to satisfy the "code" they continue to live by. between the hunt Reacher rekindles sort of rekindles an old love affair. At last Jack sees a frightening conspiracy beginning to take shape and suggesting that much more is at stake than any of them could have imagined. A point of no return is approaching, and soon Reacher, who is nothing if not code-driven, will face a mind-bending choice...perhaps his most excruciating one yet. The lives of friends... the lives of innocents...the lives of thousands. Which one and how can he pick? Like all Jack Reacher stories it's a tightly plotted...fast-paced...page-turner.… (més)

My first Jack Reacher book, it was recommended by a working colleague, since then I am great fan and even my father in law got to read even more books than me.

Unexpected, consistent, well written… by the way I am also in love with JR…
