Jack Reacher is often found minding his own business when something happens right in front of him that propels him into another mission. In this case, he's walking down a street in Boston when he sees a dead man--or at least a man who is supposed to have been dead for ten years. And if anyone should know that the guy is supposed to be dead, it's Reacher. The man in question, a particularly nasty character named Quinn, had crossed paths with Reacher back when Reacher was still in the army. Reacher Jack Reacher is often found minding his own business when something happens right in front of him that propels him into another mission. Reacher supervised an investigation of Lee Child - Jack Reacher Collection: Book 7 & Book 8: Persuader which went horribly wrong and left Reacher with some deep emotional scars. To see Quinn now, obviously alive, stuns Reacher and he now feels obligated to clean up some unfinished business. It's otherwise somewhat difficult to review this book, or even to describe the setup, without giving away the Enemy that occurs early on and that readers would be best left to discover for themselves. Suffice it to say that, like most of the books in this series, the action is hard-hitting and Reacher will literally be pushed to his limits before all is said and done. The setting is particularly good; the villains are particularly villainous, and all-in-all, this was a great book to reread while in social isolation. View all 5 comments.

Jack Reacher is working unofficially, with the DEA to bring down a boy's father, Zachary Beck, who is suspected of smuggling drugs, under the pretext of trading in oriental carpets.

Chapter One The cop climbed out of his car exactly four minutes before he got shot. He moved like he knew his fate in advance. He pushed the door against the resistance of a stiff hinge and the Enemy slowly on the worn vinyl seat and planted both feet flat on the road. Then he grasped the door frame with both hands and heaved himself up and out. He stood in the cold clear air for a second and then turned and pushed the door shut again behind him. Held still for a second longer. Then he stepped forward and leaned against the side of the hood up near the headlight. The car was a seven-year-old Chevy Caprice. It was black and had no police markings. But it had three radio antennas and plain chrome hubs. Most cops you talk to swear the Caprice is the best police vehicle ever built. This guy looked like he agreed with them. He looked like a veteran plain-clothes detective with the whole of the motor pool at his disposal. Like he drove the ancient Chevy because he wanted to. I could see that kind of stubborn old-timer personality in the way he held himself. He was wide and bulky in a plain dark suit made from some kind of heavy wool. He was tall but stooped. An old man. He turned his head and looked north and south along the road and then craned his thick neck to glance back over his shoulder at the college gate. He was thirty Lee Child - Jack Reacher Collection: Book 7 & Book 8: Persuader away from me. The college gate itself was purely a ceremonial thing. Two tall brick pillars just rose up from a long expanse of the Enemy lawn behind the sidewalk. Connecting the pillars was a high double gate made from iron bars bent and folded and twisted into fancy shapes. It was shiny black. It looked like it had just been repainted. It was probably repainted after every winter. It had no security function. Anybody who wanted to avoid it could drive straight across the lawn. It was wide open, anyway. There was a driveway behind it with little knee-high iron posts set eight feet back on either side. They had latches. Each half of the gate was latched into one of them. Wide open. The driveway led on down to a huddle of mellow brick buildings about a hundred yards away. The buildings had steep mossy roofs and were the Enemy by trees. The driveway was lined with trees. The sidewalk was lined with trees. There were trees everywhere. Their leaves were just about coming in. They were tiny and curled and bright green. Six months from now they would be big and red and golden and photographers would be swarming all over the place taking pictures of them for the college brochure. Twenty yards beyond the cop and his car and the gate was the Enemy pickup truck parked on the other side of the road. It was tight against the curb. It was facing toward me, fifty yards away. It looked a little out of place. It was faded red and had a big bull bar on the front. The bar was dull black and looked like it had been bent and straightened a couple of times. There were two men in the cab. They were young, tall, clean-cut, fair-haired. They were just sitting there, completely still, gazing forward, looking at nothing in particular. I was set up to the south. I had an anonymous brown panel van parked outside a music store. The store was the kind of place you find near a college gate. It had used CDs in racks out on the sidewalk and posters in the windows behind them advertising bands people have never heard of. There were boxes stacked inside. I had a sheaf of paperwork in my hands. I was wearing a coat, because it was a cold April morning. I was wearing gloves, because the boxes in the van had loose staples where they had been torn open. I was the Enemy a gun, because I often do. It was wedged in my pants, at the back, under the coat. It was a Colt Anaconda, which is a huge stainless steel revolver chambered for the. It was thirteen and a half inches long and weighed almost four pounds. Not my first choice of weapon. It was hard and heavy and cold and I was aware of it all the time. It stayed where it was, just idling. White exhaust pooled around its rear wheels. The air was cold. It was early and the street was deserted. I stepped behind my van and glanced down the side of the music store toward the college buildings. Saw a black Lincoln Town Car waiting outside one of them. There were two guys standing next to it. I was a hundred yards away but neither one of them looked like a limo driver. These guys looked exactly like bodyguards. The building the Lincoln was waiting outside of looked like some kind of a small dormitory. It had Greek letters over a big wooden door. I watched and the big wooden door opened up and a young thin guy stepped out. He looked like a student. He had long messy hair and was dressed like a homeless person but carried a bag that looked like shiny expensive leather. One of the bodyguards stood point while the other held the car door and the young thin guy tossed his bag onto the back seat and slid right in after it. He pulled the door shut behind himself. I heard it slam, faint and muffled from a hundred yards away. The bodyguards glanced around for a second and then got in the front together and a short moment later the car moved away. Thirty yards behind it a college security vehicle snuffled slowly in the same direction, not like it was intending to make up a convoy but like it just happened to be there anyway. There were two rent-a-cops in it. They were slumped down low in their seats and they looked aimless and bored. I took my gloves off and tossed them into the Lee Child - Jack Reacher Collection: Book 7 & Book 8: Persuader of my van. Stepped out into the road where my view was better. I saw the Lincoln come up the driveway at a moderate speed. It was black and shiny and immaculate. It had plenty of chrome on it. Plenty of wax. The college cops were way behind it.

OK, I will admit it And it even pains me more to reveal that it was the Tom Cruise movie that motivated me to start reading the series! I have read two now and am on Lee Child - Jack Reacher Collection: Book 7 & Book 8: Persuader third. Same engaging character Reacher, great plot lines, wonderful suppor OK, I will admit it Same engaging character Reacher, great plot lines, wonderful supporting character development, and best of all, a nice pace to the story. After seeing the movie, I researched a little, and found out that "The Enemy" was the eighth in the Reacher series but actually was a pre-quel to the first novel Child wrote. There are conflicting opinions as to whether you should read the books in order or start with this pre-quel. For whatever it's worth, I think reading "The Enemy" first is a great move. It really gives you a terrific insight into what makes Reacher tick and therefore gives the reader an improved perspective into the character as he is developed in the remainder of the series. Reacher is a product of life in the military. He was literally born while his father was an active soldier. This is important as you move into the later books in the series because it helps you understand the way he approaches almost everything in life Just keep in mind exactly who this the Enemy is, how he got there, and how different his view of the world has been compared to yours. So with that, you are on your own to either pursue "The Enemy" or not! However, be forewarned, if you DO choose to try a Child novel, my bet is you won't be able to read just one.
