MEDIA REVIEWS
A cert to be a number one bestseller... A version of western,of course: the drifter who comes to town,sorts out the bad guys,and moves on... He makes what he does seem simple. If it is,though,it's strange that nobody else has managed it so wellFollows in the great Philip Marlowe pulp tradition,nuanced with a dash of Rambo and Bruce Willis... Reacher is a moody,modern outsider figure,one of the great antiheroes... a liberal intellectual with machismo,and arms the size of Popeye'sClassic Child... brilliantly paced... his tough-but-fair creation,Jack Reacher,both a man's man and a ladies'man,proves once again that he's also his own man. And no one is going to get in his waySlots a series of bone-crunching brawls into a surprisingly sinuous and zeitgeisty plot... delivers emotional depth,and Reacher's bare-knuckle sleuthing certainly keeps the adrenalin upA high-testosterone adventure with a thoughtful nod to what is going on in Iraq... a page turner. Thrilling
Lee Child
One of Waterstones'very favourite authors,Lee Child sprang from redundancy at Granada Television in 1995 to rise to thriller-writing pre-eminence with his sequence of stories featuring ex-military policeman Jack Reacher. A huge draw at countless Waterstones events,working with Lee over the years has for us always been an absolute pleasure.
