No Plan B: The unputdownable new 2022 Jack Reacher thriller from the No.1 bestselling authors (Jack Reacher, 27)

Product Information

While Reacher and another Colorado local try to peel things back, which include a trip to Mississippi, a young boy has begun a trek across the country to flee a troubled home life. Faced with difficult to impossible odds, outnumbered and outgunned, Reacher wades into the fray full of the confidence of an overly large man who is capable of causing maximum damage with his fists, elbows, knees and feet. Reacher finds himself involved in an incident that spans across the US and gets him into trouble with a new collection of corrupt officials. Some character build ups were far too long for the denoument, some far too involved for their part in the story.

As Reacher is ready to put it all on the line, he must watch out for those who have him on their target list, prepped to leave another body if it keeps the silence. Reacher comes into town, something shady is going on and Reacher fights on the side of angels to save the day. Things began a little shakily, but they appear to have righted themselves with this explosive thriller once more. The plot has four "legs," if you will - and that made it a little tough for me to follow, at least for the first half or so of the book, just because of the number of characters and switchbacks from one to the other.

But Jack Reacher saw what really happened: A man in a gray hoodie and jeans, moving stealthily, pushed the victim to her demise, before swiftly grabbing the dead woman’s purse and strolling away. And he sees what really happened - a man in grey hoodie and jeans, swift and silent as a shadow, pushing the victim to her death, before grabbing her bag and sauntering away.As a very long time reader/fan of Jack Reacher, I have read every one of the phenomenal stories created by Lee Child for his second to none protagonist. Then page one was pure setting with elaborate descriptions of buildings/rooms, written in passive voice with too many short, choppy sentences. There are the bad guys who run a private prison system that has something to hide, a teenaged runaway looking for his father and an arsonist looking for revenge. I tried to give Andrew a fair shake and I think that 3 books in, ratings of 3 then 2 then 1 star tell the story of a failed experiment. The start followed classic Reacher lines, but from there it descended into a 'This happens, then this happens, then this happens, then the end'.

In previous books, if Reacher decided to kill a bad guy (it happened a few times), he chose a quick bullet to the head. The way he assesses a scene before he has to kick some ass, telegraphing minimal moves for maximum damage, sometimes with anecdotes from past teachers or past fights. I certainly enjoyed the ingenuity how the many moving parts of this narrative explosively collided to form an enjoyable denouement. When the woman's death is ruled a suicide, Reacher begins to poke around finds himself in a vast conspiracy as evil as it is shocking. The Child brothers know how to keep Reacher at the top of his game and series fans can revel in another wonderful thriller.And he sees what really happened – a man in grey hoodie and jeans, swift and silent as a shadow, pushed the victim to her death, before grabbing her bag and sauntering away. It consisted of a bunch of disconnected plots which all come together in an ending which was obvious, unsatisfying and totally ridiculous. Reacher is one-dimensional now, with none of the charm or wit I’d expect, and it was the same-old plot of a female victim who has no advocate, so Reacher steps up.

Next to him is Michaela Fenton, an army veteran turned FBI agent, who is trying to find her twin brother. Every loyal reader of this series knows nobody messes with Jack Reacher - he can take down half a dozen very big, very angry men in the blink of an eye. And he sees what actually happened: A man in a gray hoodie and jeans, moving like a shadow, pushed the victim to her death—before swiftly grabbing the dead woman’s purse and strolling away. Lee spends his spare time reading, listening to music, and watching the Yankees, Aston Villa, or Marseilles soccer. We learn about fifteen year old Jed, while living with foster parents, learns that his birth mother is dying of stage four pancreatic cancer and on her death bed finally tells him the truth about his father.When Reacher crosses paths with him, they find a common interest and appear to connect on some level.
