Just when you thought it couldn't possibly get any better,Lee Child pulls Jack Reacher out of another hole and,bang,he produces nothing short of a thriller masterpiece... Here,we get what we've been waiting for... the story of how Reacher became ReacherJack Reacher has long since earned his prominent place in the pantheon of cool,smart-talking American heroes... Shakes up the status quo by delivering the Reacher creation myth... stealthily funny... this book is really about the man himselfWith its revelations and its bonk-fest,it's an unabashed fan-pleaser,but also a timely,reassuring wallow in the undiluted essence of ReacherChild on top of his game. It could well be his best book yet... The paradox of Reacher is that he is both a great big grizzly bear of a fighter... and a thinker,both Schwarzenegger and Socrates. Make love and war is his credoJust finished The Affair. As always,hero Reacher grabs me on page one and never lets go. Right now Lee Child is my No1 thriller writer
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.
