A Jack Reacher Novel

Night School

Emily Klo

Exactly patriotic. My country, right or wrong. Which means nothing, unless you admit your country is wrong sometimes. Loving a country that was right all the time would be common sense, not patriotism.

"I know I say this every year. . .But. Best. Reacher. Ever." (Karin Slaughter) It’s just a voice plucked from the air: ‘The American wants a hundred million dollars’. For what? Who from? It’s 1996, and the Soviets are long gone. But now there’s a new enemy. In an apartment in Hamburg, a group of smartly-dressed young Saudis are planning something big. In the morning they gave Reacher a medal, and in the afternoon they sent him back to school. Jack Reacher is fresh off a secret mission. The Army pats him on the back and sends him to a school with only three students: Reacher, an FBI agent, and a CIA analyst. Their assignment? To find that American. And what he’s selling. And to whom. Although the Jack Reacher novels can be read in any order, Night School is 21st in the series.

Ok, I think I understand the wide appeal of Jack Reacher. I'm reading the books chronologically (against the advice of the friend who recommended them to me), so I understand I haven't even read the good ones yet. And this one was pretty good.

The worst Jack Reacher book that I have read.. After going through almost half of the book I just left the book midway.. very disappointing.

Tor Einar Samdahl

Lee Child leverer en typisk Lee Child om Jack Reacher. Nå fra 90-tallet i et nylig gjenforent Tyskland mens han fortsatt er i militæret og skal finne ut hva terrorister i midtøsten er villige til å betale $100 mill for. Som jeg antar er perioden Child må begynne å bruke mer ettersom nåtidens Reacher begynner å høres litt gammel og sliten ut. 


Forhåpentligvis fortsetter han med det, om jeg husker korrekt var The Enemy en av de bedre «tidlig» i bokserien.

"Discover the thriller series that The New York Times calls "utterly addictive." After eleven straight global #1 bestsellers, Lee Child sends readers back to school with the most explosive Jack Reacher novel yet. It's 1996, and Reacher is still in the army. In the morning they give him a medal, and in the afternoon they send him back to school. That night he's off the grid. Out of sight, out of mind. Two other men are in the classroom--an FBI agent and a CIA analyst. Each is a first-rate operator, each is fresh off a big win, and each is wondering what the hell they are doing there. Then they find out: A Jihadist sleeper cell in Hamburg, Germany, has received an unexpected visitor--a Saudi courier, seeking safe haven while waiting to rendezvous with persons unknown. A CIA asset, undercover inside the cell, has overheard the courier whisper a chilling message: "The American wants a hundred million dollars." For what? And who from? Reacher and his two new friends are told to find the American. Reacher recruits the best soldier he has ever worked with: Sergeant Frances Neagley. Their mission heats up in more ways than one, while always keeping their eyes on the prize: If they don't get their man, the world will suffer an epic act of terrorism. From Langley to Hamburg, Jalalabad to Kiev, Night School moves like a bullet through a treacherous landscape of double crosses, faked identities, and new and terrible enemies, as Reacher maneuvers inside the game and outside the law. Praise for #1 bestselling author Lee Child and his Jack Reacher series "Reacher [is] one of this century's most original, tantalizing pop-fiction heroes."--The Washington Post"--

"In the morning, they gave Reacher a medal. That night, they sent him back to school. With eleven straight #1 New York Times bestsellers and over 100 million books sold, Jack Reacher is "the strongest brand in publishing" (Forbes Magazine). And Night School, with Reacher back in uniform, will be the biggest Reacher adventure of them all"--
