Jack Reacher is a wonderfully epic hero; tough, taciturn, yet vulnerable… Irresistible.','Reacher combines the physique of the Commando-period Schwarzenegger with the analytical brilliance of Sherlock Holmes.','The taut plot, set firmly in headline territory, lays bare the world of the rabid, worm-like militias crawling in the political underbelly of America… This is an action adventure that never gives you a moment's peace and quiet - an excellent read.','Cunning and explosive…A thumping good read',A skilled, smart, violent page-turner
