Two lonely towns in Colorado: Hope and Despair. Between them, twelve miles of empty road. Jack Reacher never turns back. It's not in his nature. All he wants is a cup of coffee. What he gets is big trouble. So in Lee Child?s electrifying new novel, Reacher?a man with no fear, no illusions, and nothing to lose?goes to war against a town that not only wants him gone, it wants him dead.

It wasn?t the welcome Reacher expected. He was just passing through, minding his own business. But within minutes of his arrival a deputy is in the hospital and Reacher is back in Hope, setting up a base of operations against Despair, where a huge, seething walled-off industrial site does something nobody is supposed to see . . . where a small plane takes off every night and returns seven hours later . . . where a garrison of well-trained and well-armed military cops?the kind of soldiers Reacher once commanded?waits and watches . . . where above all two young men have disappeared and two frightened young women wait and hope for their return.

Joining forces with a beautiful cop who runs Hope with a cool hand, Reacher goes up against Despair?against the deputies who try to break him and the rich man who tries to scare him?and starts to crack open the secrets, starts to expose the terrifying connection to a distant war that?s killing Americans by the thousand.

Now, between a town and the man who owns it, between Reacher and his conscience, something has to give. And Reacher never gives an inch.

Lee Child Novels

Having just discovered novels by Lee Child, I have read only "Bad Luck and Trouble" and "Nothing to Lose". I thoroughly enjoy his writing. His writing is similar to David Baldacci and Dan Brown in that the plot is so smooth and rich. Child can get his point across without undue vulgarity. I will be searching for some of his previous novels and cannot wait for his next book.

So Jack Reacher is a Liberal, so what?

I think what is most upsetting to people about this book is the concept of a liberal who could kick their a**.

If you are a fan of Jack Reacher Novels, and you're not a conservative wingnut, then you should enjoy this. Especially since it holds the current administration's feet to the fire about the "war" in Iraq (and soon to be Iran)
