I have read all of the Reacher series and I consider it one of the best thriller series of all time. This is the 17th book in the series and for me this one just did not seem up to par. I think overall it was because it was lacking on action. Reacher's time was spent on long car drives going from Nebraska to Iowa and back again - then he was transported to a facility near Kansas City and from there back to Nebraska. Along the way, he appears to let a woman hostage down in her escape from the bad guys and he bullies a child to get some information. Not what you come to expect from Reacher! There was action towards the end of the novel but I was somewhat disappointed by the whole premise of what the bad guys were doing and why. Overall, it was still a Reacher novel but I would only marginally recommend this one. Hopefully, his next outing will be better -- maybe Reacher will eventually make it to Virginia!
