About this deal

This investigation jumps from Colorado to a prison in Mississippi where something very suspicious is going on and Reacher is determined to find out what.

This time the ex-wife of a man murdered by the same people who pushed the woman under the bus) and he encounters an adversary even bigger and stronger than him – although, of course, not as smart! Reacher pursues the man into an alley, confronts him in his usual unabashed manner, easily takes his gun away, spins him around and forcefully pushes him into the adjacent alley wall with resultant broken nose and freely flowing blood from multiple gashes. Although, so far, the co-written novels in this long-running series haven’t matched up to many of the earlier ones, in No Plan B there are signs that there could be life left in the series yet. From vastly different parts of the country there are forces at work, drawing a bunch of seemingly unrelated people together. There were six men in the room, and this was the third covert meeting they’d held there in the last week.If No Plan B had been written by a new-to-me author and with a protagonist not named Reacher, I would still have rated this 2.

She has picked up the same desire for justice that pushes Reacher forward and, once she confirmed Reacher was one of the good guys, understood that he would be the perfect person to hitch on to.

Together this nest of rooms formed the command hub of Unit S2 at the Minerva Correctional Facility in Winson, Mississippi. I'd rather wait 18 months for a well-conceived story line than get another "No Plan B" threadbare "Reacher" story in a year.

The way he assesses a scene before he has to kick some ass, telegraphing minimal moves for maximum damage, sometimes with anecdotes from past teachers or past fights. The interweaving of the three different story arcs was pretty basic and was lacking any real depth other than the shared objective. It consisted of a bunch of disconnected plots which all come together in an ending which was obvious, unsatisfying and totally ridiculous. A prison full of guys talented enough to create forgeries of famous works of art or computer geniuses? As Lee becomes more and more hands off, Andrew drives the series further and further into the ground.The only thing that made the victim truly sympathetic was the existence of a small child, yet we never got to meet her. As Reacher is ready to put it all on the line, he must watch out for those who have him on their target list, prepped to leave another body if it keeps the silence. The trip through cell block C was completely pointless and clunky way to tie off a number of obvious loose ends. Reacher's journey starts in Gerrardsville, Colorado where he witnesses a woman being pushed under a bus, and a man in a hoodie took her purse and left the scene. I listened to an uninspiring four+ hours (39%) of another "Not-A-Jack-Reacher" novel, and decided that was enough.
