La vittima designata

People were depending on me. I had been beaten many times. But I had never just quit. Not once. Not ever. This book! OMG, my heart is still beating so fast as though it's going to jump out of my chest! What an adrenaline-pumping ride! Ok, take a deep breath... Alright, I will keep this short as I k

Jack Reacher is often found minding his own business when something happens right in front of him that propels him into another mission.

4-stars, perhaps a bit more. This and "Echo Burning" are by far Child's best books in the series (so far). The pacing is terrific, mostly. The dialogue and action are very good, mostly.
