About this ebook

AS FEATURED ON RICHARD & JUDY'S 'KEEP READING AND CARRY ON'

'This is one of his best' - The Times

Jack Reacher is back in a brand new white-knuckle read from Lee Child.

It's a random universe, but once in a blue moon things turn out just right.

In a nameless city, two rival criminal gangs are competing for control. But they hadn't counted on Jack Reacher arriving on their patch.

Reacher is trained to notice things.

He's on a Greyhound bus, watching an elderly man sleeping in his seat, with a fat envelope of cash hanging out of his pocket. Another passenger is watching too ... hoping to get rich quick.

As the mugger makes his move, Reacher steps in.

The old man is grateful, yet he turns down Reacher's offer to help him home. He's vulnerable, scared, and clearly in big, big trouble.

What hold could the gangs have on the old guy? Will Reacher be in time to stop bad things happening?

The odds are better with Reacher involved. That's for damn sure.


'Everyone needs to kick some [butt] sometimes, even if it's just imaginary' JOJO MOYES

_________

Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, Blue Moon is the 24th in the series.

And be sure not to miss Reacher's newest adventure, no.29, In Too Deep! ***OUT NOW***

I love Reacher, but now I have to wait until these are in a bargain bin before I buy another. In this book, the set pieces were so stupid. Reacher gets lucky over and over and faces idiots who just run in front of his bullets. The Author seems to get so bored even he stops bothering to describe the fight scenes. "In the end it was inevitable. They all died." That is almost exactly how a scene ends. The Author needs to go write something else for a few years or a long break and come up with a better story.

I have read all the Reacher books by Lee Childs and I can honestly say I love them, but the books of the last few years are not a scratch on the original author. Sorry but no more for me. I really don't think a medioca writer should masquerade as if he has the skills and ability of an accomplished writer, it's false advertising. Len Norton

Laughably bad. Where once Jack reacher relied on his wits, cunning, skill, size and luck to survive, he now relies on some of the most arbitrary plot devices and script armour you ever come across as he and his random rag-tag bunch of civilians happily murder even the lowest level criminals. Lazy.
