Worse, her monster of a husband is soon due out of prison. So she needs protection, and she needs it now. Lawyers can't help. Cops can't be trusted. So Reacher goes home with her to the lonely ranch where nothing is as it Echo Burning and where evil swirls around them like dust in a storm. Within days, Carmen's husband is dead-and simmering secrets send Echo, Texas, up in flames. There were three watchers, two men and a boy. They were using telescopes, not field glasses. It was a question of distance. They were almost a mile from their target area, because of the terrain. There was no closer cover. It was low, undulating country, burned khaki by the sun, grass and rock and sandy soil alike. The nearest safe concealment was the broad dip they were in, a bone-dry gulch scraped out a million years ago by a different climate, when there had been rain and ferns and rushing rivers. The men lay Echo Burning in the dust with the early heat on their backs, their telescopes at their eyes. The boy scuttled around on his knees, fetching Echo Burning from the cooler, watching for waking rattlesnakes, logging comments in a notebook. They had arrived before first light in a dusty pick-up truck, the long way Echo Burning, across the empty land from the west. They had thrown a dirty tarpaulin over the truck and held it down with rocks. They had eased forward to the rim of the Honky Tonk Samurai. About this book. More books by this author. The Turnaround.

Start your review of Echo Burning Jack Reacher, 5. Apr 16, David rated it did not like it. He is Echo Burning and wanders from place to place. He is smart and a violent badass to anyone who messes with him or those he cares about. In Reacher, Child has created a character Echo Burning can interact with anyone, go anywhere and do anything. So who does Reacher interact with in this book? A Hispanic woman named Carmen. She picks up Reacher as a hitchhiker Echo Burning tells him a sad story a In "Killing Floor" which I thoroughly enjoyedLee Child introduced an electric main character named Jack Reacher. She picks up Reacher as a hitchhiker and tells him a sad story about her life. Reacher thinks that she is lying. Maybe she is. Maybe she isn't. This gets the book off to an Echo Burning start. Unfortunately, all anyone in this book seems to do is to Echo Burning whether Carmen is telling the truth. Yes, she is. No, she is not. Echo Burning she had an interesting story, that would be one thing. But her story, while sad, is not interesting at all. It is incredibly boring. Who are the villans who mess with Reacher? Texans, who and this is shocking are rednecks! They are so one-dimensional, they are not worth writing about. They do very predictable redneck things, are racists, shoot rifles, and like everyone else in the book, debate about whether Carmen is Echo Burning the truth. What does Reacher, the super-smart, ultraviolent action hero do throughout the book? He eats ice cream. He learns how to saddle a horse. Echo Burning buys clothes. I half-expected Lee Child to have him spend a day in the library reading. Oh, and he wonders Echo Burning Carmen is telling the truth. There are only a couple of action scenes. In "Echo Burning", Child seems to have had the idea of writing a thriller with almost no action. Call me picky, but that is a really bad idea. It's like a James Bond movie where Bond spends the movie doing some window shopping, and oh, debating about whether the main character is lying. Was Echo Burning actually lying? Maybe she was, maybe she wasn't. By the end of the book Echo Burning didn't care. I just wanted the talking to end! View all 21 comments.
