My eyes may not let me finish this book on time> All good and finished early. Good read but perhaps a bit long with unessary detail. (

Typical Jack Reacher novel, violence, blood, pisses people off, and sex with a gorgeous babe who he is working with. Easy read, entertaining nothing to get too excited about and not to complain about either. (

The Affair: Jack Reacher #16 is a book that explains why Jack Reacher is roaming the United States. The explicit descriptions of the character's sexual acts are not necessary to the movement of the story or even necessary all together. Jack Reacher is a character that has tremendous physical power and brilliant. He is in away a superman. Perhaps the superman is what makes Jack Reacher so indelible. Four stars were awarded to this book. (

Set in 1997, we meet Jack Reacher when he is still in the US army. He is sent undercover to a small town in a southern state to investigate a murder of a woman that may have involved a soldier from the nearby army base. This novel is Jack Reacher's back story, meeting him while he still in the military police force. Some of his actions are familiar (no luggage even then), other character traits are in their early development. There are few secrets in the small town and Jack Reacher quickly gets in the centre of the action with the local county sheriff. The search for the truth is Jack Reacher's USP and it is here too and the plot takes many twists and turns as authorities try to lead him astray. The midnight train is a nice touch! A good read. (

"The Serbo-Croat thing was a disaster. Like Rwanda. A total embarrassment. This is the twentieth century, for God’s sake."
"Seemed to me to fit right in with the twentieth century."
"It's supposed to be different now."
"Wait for the twenty-first. That’s my advice." (

The Pentagon is the world's largest office building, six and a half million square feet, thirty thousand people, more than seventeen miles of corridors, but it was built with just three street doors, each one of them opening into a guarded pedestrian lobby.
