As always, Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there. One morning he ends up in a town near Pleasantville, Tennessee.
But there s nothing pleasant about the place.
In broad daylight Reacher spots a hapless soul walking into an ambush. It was four against one . . . so Reacher intervenes, with his own trademark brand of conflict resolution.
The man he saves is Rusty Rutherford, an unassuming IT manager, recently fired after a cyberattack locked up the town s data, records, information . . . and secrets. Rutherford wants to stay put, look innocent, and clear his name.
Reacher is intrigued. There s more to the story. The bad guys who jumped Rutherford are part of something serious and deadly, involving a conspiracy, a cover-up, and murder all centered on a mousy little guy in a coffee-stained shirt who has no idea what he s up against.
The story grabs you and never let’s go. You can never get enough of Jack Reacher. The supporting cast was superb. Action and more action. With just enough character building in between. Female leads were well done. All-in-all and exceptional read.
This book has every mainstream media talking point wrapped up with a bow. Laughable and enjoyable.
quite an enjoyable book because of its fidelity to the Reacher brand and character. /Claps

The Sentinel is the 25th in the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child, and the beginning of his collaboration with his brother, Andrew Child. Once again Reacher doesn’t pull his punches; tough as nails and nice as pie – Reacher at his usual best. I enjoyed The Sentinel very much with its full on action and plenty of twists, and hope the series continues for a long time yet. Recommended.
