Amazon writings - At the start of bestseller Child's winning 11th Jack Reacher adventure (after The Hard Way), the bad guys unceremoniously dump Calvin Franz, a former MP, from a Bell 222 helicopter "[t]hree thousand feet above the [California] desert floor." Trouble is, Franz was a member of the army's special investigation unit headed by Reacher—a one-time military cop who left the service to become a solitary drifter par excellence. A former colleague sends Reacher a coded SOS; the two rendezvous in L.A. and the game's afoot. More members of the band get back together, only to discover that Franz isn't the group's only casualty.
Entertainment value 100% - especially if you like Jack Reacher's escapades. There also was a degree of tenderness shown between Reacher's colleagues - but not a lot.
Thrilling and satisfying for me but yes it was a traditional Lee Child book - and worth every penny (not that I paid for it).
