Book #8 chronologically before Night School (2016) and before Killing Floor (1997): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Reacher_(book_series)#In-story_chronology

I like the Reacher books though I thought the part in the Pentagon wasn't very believable. On to the next book from the author.

More on the history of Reacher and how he came to be the wanderer. Good story up to the finale when it sort of went off the tracks (sic). Innovative way to cover up a murder but never involve others in your crime-first rule of a survivor.

Another enjoyable Jack Reacher book! Lee Child's Reacher books make me want make me keen to read his autobiography. Where did he collect all of his military background knowledge, his knowledge of weapons and of brawling techniques? How…

As always, a fantastic book from Lee Child in the Jack Reacher series. This story grabbed me from the second page and wouldn't let me go. Must read!

Okay already....After reading this I've decided I'll join the fanclub. Reacher really is, without doubt, a total heart throb badass.

The story of how Jack Reacher came to be a derelict ex-Army guy beleaguered by his past and constantly getting pulled back into it for another round of mayhem. A fun, fast moving read with all the usual suspects doing all the usual…

This book is standard "Reacher" stuff - with one twist. All the books I've read are after Reacher is "retired" from the Military Police of the army. In this one he still has rank. It is as exciting as one can expect and the conclusion is…

This was another great read. Love the series! Lee child is amazing, fast paced, great dialogue, good cast, and believable characters! But Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher. OMG! Stop the madness! Think I will stick with the books!

Love these Reacher prequels-it's interesting to see what he was like during his time in the army, though I have to wonder how on earth he managed to last in the army as long as he did!

First person form, Jack Reacher doing his dynamic style. Lee Child is one of the most amazing story tellers there has ever been.

I like Jack Reacher novels because it's not about whether the hero will survive but how many people will be dead or maimed by the end of the book. Typical Child, entertaining, a bit of sleuthing, and some sexual tension thrown in for good…

Hardboiled detective with a powerful plot--Lee Child always seems to knock it out of the park

I agree. How on earth could a shrimp like Tom Cruise place a big hunk like Reacher. I understand he has bought the rights to all Lee Child Reacher books. What a travesty.

I can't believe that someone thought Tom Cruise could play Jack Reacher! I'm still shaking my head.

Having read quite a few Reacher novels, I was curious about Reacher's background. This book fills the reader in about why he left the MP. At the end of the story there is a short story, "Second Son", which provides further details about…

Jack Reacher is the man! Another 'can't put it down' read! Simply horrifying that Tom Cruise has been cast as this larger than life character. What were they thinking? OMG

Great reading.

Easier going than the previous Reacher novels. It's a bit depressing when society's systems can't be trusted to mete out justice.

Great discovery! The action is good and the main character, Jack Reacher, is good too.
