A new Jack Reacher adventure is a guaranteed adrenaline high, and Never Go Back does not fail to deliver the patented Reacher goods.
After several books worth of adventure along the way, Reacher has finally made it back from South Dakota to Virginia and his long-anticipated rendezvous with Major Susan Turner, the intriguing voice on the phone who is the current commander of Reacher's old Army MP unit, the 110th. But when Reacher arrives, Major Turner is not there; she's locked up on a bogus charge of taking a bribe, which Reacher considers totally improbable. And the guy who's taken over the unit in her place raises every hackle Reacher owns. But there's worse to come, when Reacher himself is accused of a sixteen-year-old crime he didn't commit and then hit with a paternity suit involving a woman he doesn't remember and the teenage girl she claims is Reacher's daughter, allegedly living on the streets in Los Angeles. Then a couple of young toughs show up claiming Reacher is a disgrace to his old unit and threatening grievous bodily harm if he doesn't get out of town and never come back.
When threatened you have two choices: you can run or you can fight. And Reacher will ALWAYS choose to fight. Which is something his unknown antagonists should have found out before they made a very bad decision to target a man who never, ever backs down.
This is Child's eighteenth book about Jack Reacher. Will he continue to write more Reacher adventures? Child says as long as people keep on reading, he'll keep on writing. And when people stop reading, he'll stop writing and go live on the beach and never work again.
