'The Jack Reacher series of thrillers...are all hugely exciting, and knowledgeable about weapons and technology. They exude a powerful sense of right and wrong. We've seen him...as a righter of wrongs and always as God's gift to women.'

'Child's strengths are fast-moving dialogue and gripping action sequences ... The excitement lasts from the first to the final page.'

'Reacher sees justice done while kicking commendable amounts of ass ... Intricate plotting makes for an engrossing read.'

'First-rate thriller, with the imperturbable Reacher meting out his brand of justice to the villains.'

'Hot, indomitable...pure, escapist gold.'
