A very complex affair that has Jack Reacher involved in the lives of many very interesting characters. His lover a small town Mississippi sheriff, and a former marine. A state senator and a killer, possibly related to a state senator. Enjoyed immensely, my highest recommendation!!

A great story and I agree with another reviewer who said, “it was nice to get the beginning of Reacher’s journey. “ I used to read all of the books, but then they became too much the same. This one was really good!

This should have been the first book written but here we are. We finally get to hear why Reacher is the way he is. As always, too much description of stuff but thank goodness it is written in the First Person. When Child writes as Reacher in the Third Person it is way worse. Oh well, on to the next one.

Awesome Reacher adventure and close to the best.

Another Child masterpiece! One of his best,

Look forward to reading the next Reacher book in the wonderful series.

I just reread The Affair. It’s your best in my opinion.. You need to bring Devaro back. They work well together! Thanks for my favorite character. Jack would have made a great Marine. Jake K

Mister Child’s view of the army is somewhat bent. Hopefully it is only for the book. However, when it was force reduction time back in the 90’s, it was brutal. Many good soldiers got the boot because of Force Reduction, as they called it. I retired in 92, thank god, but some of my friends got the boot. We loved our service as we loved our country.

Pure Reacher. Excellent story and well written.

Good book
