The Sentinel (UK)

This book served the purpose that I needed it to, entertaining me fully and keeping me actively wanting to know what was going on. I thoroughly enjoyed the plot and the narrative worked well to keep me guessing and wanting to know even more.

Reacher found himself involved in something he didn’t want to be involved in. Yet he stayed. Rusty Rutherford was a nice guy – average, down to earth. An IT person in a town which had been cyber attacked, so Rusty was fired and now the bad guys were sure he had what they wanted.

Could Reacher sort out the mess without anyone else being killed? Rule one: if you don’t know the trouble you’re in, keep Reacher by your side.

A good read. A little high tech for Reacher, but worthwhile. Recommended.

The book is well written and the characters are interesting. Jack Reacher hitches a ride and gets out in a small Tennessee town which was the destination of his ride. Reacher immediately gets into trouble by rescuing a man that is being attacked by a group of men. The story is non-stop action and intrigue.

The first Jack Reacher book in which Lee Child writes with his younger brother (Andrew Child). Definitely better than the previous book as our drifter’s background draws him into spotting an ambush and protecting the victim. Some of the key characters were a little under developed and the plot a bit too complex. Nonetheless still a good ride.
