Book Reviews of Enemy, The (Jack Reacher)
Book Review: An Army of One...Reacher
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm an avid reader with one simple, hard and fast rule when it comes to thrillers: A thriller has to thrill. With THE ENEMY Lee Child does just that and more with a fast-paced who-and-why-dunnit featuring Jack Reacher and his own hard-edged bring-it-on style. Reacher is a Military Police Major who's good at his job when those with higher rank or hidden agendas don't get in his way. Come to think of it, he's good even when that happens.
In my estimation this is Lee Child's best Jack Reacher book but then that's only my own semi-humble opinion and not yours. As a reader (not to mention book buyer) your opinion has value and counts too so buy the book, read it and then jump on these review sites and tell any and everyone who's looking why you did or didn't like it.
Chances are though that you'll rave like the rest of us. It might also tell the publisher that perhaps they need to pay Child more money to keep the series going. Yeah, well othewise we're stuck with publishers trying to pawn off soul sucking teenage acne and angst vampire tragic semi-romances. By the way, do teenage vampires ever go through that awkward stage with braces?
Summary of Enemy, The (Jack Reacher)
Jack Reacher. Hero. Loner. Soldier. Soldier?s son. An elite military cop, he was one of the army?s brightest stars. But in every cop?s life there is a turning point. One case. One messy, tangled case that can shatter a career. Turn a lawman into a renegade. And make him question words like honor, valor, and duty. For Jack Reacher, this is that case.New Year?s Day, 1990. The Berlin Wall is coming down. The world is changing. And in a North Carolina ?hot-sheets? motel, a two-star general is found dead. His briefcase is missing. Nobody knows what was in it. Within minutes Jack Reacher has his orders: Control the situation. But this situation can?t be controlled. Within hours the general?s wife is murdered hundreds of miles away. Then the dominoes really start to fall.
Two Special Forces soldiers?the toughest of the tough?are taken down, one at a time. Top military commanders are moved from place to place in a bizarre game of chess. And somewhere inside the vast worldwide fortress that is the U.S. Army, Jack Reacher?an ordinarily untouchable investigator for the 110th Special Unit?is being set up as a fall guy with the worst enemies a man can have.
But Reacher won?t quit. He?s fighting a new kind of war. And he?s taking a young female lieutenant with him on a deadly hunt that leads them from the ragged edges of a rural army post to the winding streets of Paris to a confrontation with an enemy he didn?t know he had. With his French-born mother dying?and divulging to her son one last, stunning secret?Reacher is forced to question everything he once believed?about his family, his career, his loyalties?and himself. Because this soldier?s son is on his way into the darkness, where he finds a tangled drama of desperate desires and violent death?and a conspiracy more chilling, ingenious, and treacherous than anyone could have guessed.
