**NOW A MAJOR PRIME TV SERIES STARRING ALAN RITCHSON**

The edge-of-your-seat, heart-in-mouth new Jack Reacher thriller - his 25th adventure. No one's bigger than Jack Reacher.

Jack Reacher hitches a ride to a sleepy no-name town outside Nashville, Tennessee. He plans to grab a cup of coffee and move right along.

Not going to happen.

The town has been shut down by a cyber attack. At the centre of it all, whether he likes it or not, is Rusty Rutherford. He's an average IT guy, but he knows more than he thinks.

As the bad guys move in on Rusty, Reacher moves in on them . . .

And now Rusty knows he's protected, he's never going to leave the big man's side.

Reacher might just have to stick around and find out what the hell's gone wrong . . . and then put it right, like only he can.

'Jack Reacher is today's James Bond, a thriller hero we can't get enough of.' Ken Follett

'If you haven't read any Jack Reacher, you have a treat in store . . . a hitchhiker without a phone, a one-man force for good.' - The Times

'A contemporary version of the knight in shining armour . . . Reacher is a mythic figure.' Literary Review

'Jack Reacher is a wonderfully epic hero; tough, taciturn, yet vulnerable... Irresistible.' People

'Jack Reacher has long since earned his prominent place in the pantheon of cool, smart-talking American heroes.' New York Times

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be listened to in any order, The Sentinel is the 25th in the series.

Reacher does what Reacher does. Stumbles into a simple problem that ends up being the tip of a convoluted iceberg.
Once again Reacher ends up being a cross between McGivver and Edge (A man alone). Able to distill the meaning of life from the bend in a blade of grass to indulging his psychopathic need to kill without pause or regret.

With Reachers ‘wandering’ years now well established, I would like to see another book set in his formative years. West Point being top of my list.

In short a good, if not formulaic, yarn. Not Lee’s best work, not his worst.

Same old, same old.

wondered how Lee writing with his brother would be. it's fine. The formula plats out satisfyingly with all the bells and whistles. subject nicely topical and entertaining

Good Reacher

I can’t get enough of this drifter. Need to go now, in the words of our hero, “Eat when you can.”

I've read all the Reacher books and put off listening to this one based on all the bad reviews. It's really not bad at all, definitely better than a few of the older stories. I think Reacher was exactly like he usually was, and the story was as well plotted as all the other books - which is not saying it's amazing, just the same. I think Andrew Child did a good job of keeping the series going and hope he continues. The next one - on his own - will be the test I guess. The people that complained the story was not in keeping with Reacher's low tech knowledge and approach clearly haven't read the book. He's the same old luddite he ever was.

Pretty good, definitely better than expected

I don't know why but the book did not have the same feel to the stories that I've listen to on other riches books and I've listened to quite a few. I'm side as say but this kind of like watching Tom Cruise play Jack reach it the storys good but crows was always the wrong choice this book have that kind of feel to me and I've loved all the others so maybe it's just me you need to listen for yourself but I think the Arthur's for the story.

I felt sorry for Jeff Harding, trying so hard to give us the Reacher we all know and love. He did a great job considering what he had to work with. I purchased this book in good faith that at least some of the, story would reflect the same character as in the rest of the series. I struggled to finished it, The storyline was hard to follow and the thrill level was zero, The Reacher character had been replaced by a cardboard cutout. I'm always ready to give a book a chance and I won't ask for a refund. Will I buy another book from these authors after buying every one in the Jack Reacher series....no.

Not Reacher

In the words of Lee Child...’Reacher said nothing. That’s for damn sure’. This book has no soul.
