The Enemy: (Jack Reacher 8)

Product Information

He obviously has honour and fights for what is right but even MPs can't go off doing half of what he does and get away with it.

Adrian Harrington Rare Books deal in a wide selection of literature, modern first editions, leather bound library sets, children's and illustrated books and fine and rare antiquarian and old books in all fields. There are references to Joe in a couple of the earlier books, but it's nice to meet him alive and well in this novel. The Enemy' is a treat for existing fans, because it's a prequel to the other books, taking Reacher back to his days as a military policeman at the end of the Cold War, revealing key information about why he became the person he is in the later books. Although this is the eighth book to be published in the Jack Reacher series, it's a prequel to the others.The evidence is turned over to military authorities, and the accused are sentenced to life imprisonment for their crimes. My first introduction to Lee Child, to Jack Reacher and to the multi-talented Kerry Shale and I can't wait to download my next choice. The story ends with Reacher reflecting on the fact that he never saw Summer again despite hearing that she received a promotion to Captain.

Monsieur Pierre Lamonnier knew her when Josephine Moutier was Béatrice and rescuing downed soldiers. It really gives you a terrific insight into what makes Reacher tick and therefore gives the reader an improved perspective into the character as he is developed in the remainder of the series. A Reacher as far from the no-credit card, no-last-known-address drifter of the previous eight novels as is possible to imagine.I enjoyed seeing Reacher deal with the bad eggs of the military, dead pan comments and simple but oh so effective cutting comments.

Adrian Harrington began trading in 1971, as part of Harrington Brothers in the Chelsea Antiques Market on London's fashionable King's Road. One of the things that impressed me about this book was that Reacher went from badass to super badass in such a strong way. At the time, Reacher is still in the army and has just been transferred from Panama to Fort Bird, North Carolina.

Lee Child was born October 29th, 1954 in Coventry, England, but spent his formative years in the nearby city of Birmingham. Between trying to avoid charges and arrests instigated by his new CO and being blocked at every turn in the investigation there is as always time for Reacher to get into bed with a subordinate. While almost everyone else is out celebrating, Reacher is the Military Police duty officer on the post when a two star general is found dead in a sleazy motel thirty miles from the base. Reacher was trying to find the bad guy, but this time it as in his own organisation, and he as completely and utterly fed up. Reacher also has to deal with a very upsetting personal situation and the most interesting point of the book is the history of his mother and what she did during the second world war as part of the resistance.
