Review

“The ever-resourceful and vengeful Reacher takes on nearly a score of the bad guys in an exciting climax to an enthralling book…complete with cover-ups and numerous intriguing twists.”—Library Journal, starred review

“A superb New York novel…. Child grounds his hero’s hard body and hard-drive brain in believable detail, and he sets the action against a precisely described landscape.” —Booklist, starred review

“All good thriller writers know how to build suspense and keep the pages turning, but only better ones deliver tight plots as well, and only the best allow the reader to match wits with both the hero and the author. Bestseller Child does all of that in spades.... [He] sets things up subtly and ingeniously, then lets Reacher use both strength and guile to find his way to the exciting climax.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review


From the Hardcover edition.


Product Description

New York City. Two in the morning. A subway car heading uptown. Jack Reacher, plus five other passengers. Four are okay. The fifth isn’t.

In the next few tense seconds Reacher will make a choice–and trigger an electrifying chain of events in this gritty, gripping masterwork of suspense by #1 New York Times bestseller Lee Child.

Susan Mark was the fifth passenger. She had a lonely heart, an estranged son, and a big secret. Reacher, working with a woman cop and a host of shadowy feds, wants to know just how big a hole Susan Mark was in, how many lives had already been twisted before hers, and what danger is looming around him now.

Because a race has begun through the streets of Manhattan in a maze crowded with violent, skilled soldiers on all sides of a shadow war. Susan Mark’s plain little life was critical to dozens of others in Washington, California, Afghanistan . . . from a former Delta Force operator now running for the U.S. Senate, to a beautiful young woman with a fantastic story to tell–and to a host of others who have just one thing in common: They’re all lying to Reacher. A little. A lot. Or maybe just enough to get him killed.

In a novel that slams through one hairpin surprise after another, Lee Child unleashes a thriller that spans three decades and gnaws at the heart of America . . . and for Jack Reacher, a man who trusts no one and likes it that way, it’s a mystery with only one answer–the kind that comes when you finally get face-to-face and look your worst enemy in the eye.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Can you spot the suicide bomber?, Avril 27 2009
Par Tracy Stillman "Space Cadet" (California) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Gone Tomorrow (Hardcover)
As a big fan of Jack Reacher I must say I was not impressed with Child's last novel "Nothing to Lose." It was ok, but I felt as if I had read it all before and I was wondering if the franchise had "jumped the shark." I am happy to report that Reacher is back on track with "Gone Tomorrow." I wont say it is the best reacher novel. My biggest problem with the most recent Reacher novels is that the action gets a bit more unrealistic with each new book. One of Jack Reachers traits was his cold hard logic, but he now seems to get himself into situations with odds beyond logic. That being said I really liked the central plot point of this book: How do you spot a suicide bomber? It allows Reacher's logic to come to the fore. And of course the book has the typical blistering pace, some villains you will love to hate, and some interesting twists. In spite of my concerns Child's is one of the top contemporary thriller writers.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A Reacher That Stretches a Little Too Far, Jui 23 2009
This review is from: Gone Tomorrow (Hardcover)

"Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly." -- Genesis 19:7

The best Reacher novels start with him being in an ordinary situation late at night when something out of the ordinary happens. Because of his exceptional training, Reacher notices that there's a problem and intercedes where others would miss the issue or simply ignore it. As a result, he then becomes entangled into a complex situation where many people have very evil motives.

The good news is that Gone Tomorrow has such a fine beginning. It's fun!

The bad news is that Gone Tomorrow doesn't build on the beginning as well as it might have. The story behind the beginning will disappoint many readers . . . and the ultimate twists will seem more than a little far fetched . . . and tacked on without enough foundation.

Overall, the book manages to rise above the mundane after the satisfying beginning due to having many classic Reacher scenes such as ones that use his instincts and experience to find solutions to difficult situations . . . including the kind of "Reacher-takes-on-the-world" scenes that all Lee Child fans love.

I hope that in his next book Mr. Child will try to give us lots of good detection and action sequences in a very credible plot rather than trying to overwhelm the book with plot developments that over reach and stretch credibility too far.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Better than I expected, but the MacGuffin disapoints in the end, Nov. 7 2009
Par J. Norburn (Quesnel, BC, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Gone Tomorrow (Hardcover)
I enjoyed this novel a lot more than I was expecting to. I'm generally not a fan of "Big Action" novels and films. I started one Reacher novel (Die Trying) a few years ago and couldn't finish it. It just didn't work for me. But overall I found Gone Tomorrow to be pretty entertaining. I suspect some hardcore action fans will find that the plot moves a little too slowly for their tastes, but strangely, this is one of the things I liked about the novel. I tend to get bored by big action scenes (car chases, big explosions and the like) and I was glad that the plot wasn't just something to fill a few pages between action sequences.

The plot itself is pretty thin though and is the reason I can't give this novel more than 3 stars. Gone Tomorrow is essentially a MacGuffin driven plot (a MacGuffin - for those unfamiliar with the term - is an object that the good guys and bad guys both want. It drives the plot of a movie or novel. Cynical writers/directors will say that it doesn't really matter what the MacGuffin is, so long as the reader/audience understands that it is of great importance that the characters in the novel/film get their hands on it.

I know it shouldn't matter what the MacGuffin turns out to be, since its only purpose is to motivate the good guys and bad guys to take action. It's supposed to be about the unravelling (to a certain point) of the mystery, the thrill of the chase, and the excitement of the inevitable confrontation. And I did enjoy those things - but to a large degree (for me at least) it was contingent on the MacGuffin turning out to be something that makes sense. Often in movies or novels the MacGuffin is destroyed or lost before the reader/audience finds out what it is, and this happens to a degree in Gone Tomorrow.

The MacGuffin in Gone Tomorrow is a thumb drive that is believed to hold a military file that may contain a photo that could ruin the political career of an aspiring US Senator. Reacher can only speculate on what is in the file based on what the aspiring Senator has told him and what he is able to deduce for himself, but he never actually sees what is on the thumb drive (and therefore, neither does the reader). I suppose I could assume that whatever was in the photo, it was clearly worthwhile for al-Qaida to pursue. Except that the only options I can think of, make absolutely no sense to me (I'd elaborate but to so would be a spoiler).

The bottom line: this is a reasonably entertaining thriller that I, for the most part, enjoyed taking for a ride, however it's built on a shaky foundation. When the cracks are revealed at the end it proved a little disappointing to me. I suspect that the majority of fans of the author will enjoy this novel, although some `action junkies' may complain that it is a bit too slow at time - too much talkin' not enough shootin' (although I didn't find that myself).
