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 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

Feels like it was written by and for a Republican-voting boomer, replete with references to memes like: Fake news. Russophobia. Tough on crime. Washington Post / MSM worship. Rugged individualism. Etc. At least it inadvertently makes a good case for Medicare for All. Still, it's a reacher novel - so an easy to read and good distraction.

not his best effort I found reacher to come across as a bit to full of himself, unlike the previous books where he finds himself helping people because he cares whats right or wrong this time its more used as an excuse to vent his anger on as many people as he can. hope that the chip on his shoulder has gone by his next outing! love lee childs wrighting and the reacher character but this was more like a rambo story (1 man against the world) i like rambo id like to point out but reacher is not rambo! better look next time mr child, ill be buying it any how as have read all the books one blip is fine(the short stories are too short and predictable though....not worth your efforts)
