Don't mess with Jack!

I have read 6 Jack Reacher novels(in order of publication). "Echo Burning" was great and this one is almost as good. It is a glimpse into the super secret world of the protection side of the US Secret Service.

Our hero, Jack, is an ex-military Police investigator, expert marksman, and all-around tough guy. He is 6'5" and weighs 250+ lbs. How that shrimp, Tom Cruise, was given the green light to play Jack is a complete mystery! But I digress. He is "hired" by the ex-girlfriend of his deceased brother, who is a SS agent in charge of the protection detail for the Vice President-elect, to find flaws in their protection plans after the VP-Elect gets death threats.

One of the delights of this series is how, at the end, the bad guys get just what they deserve: a lethal confrontation with Jack.
I couldn't put the book down.

Undoubtedly one of the greatest actors for the last 30 years, this guy has hardly aged (!) and portrays one bad boy who can give fast, witty retorts to fools who tangle with him and can kick booty to pieces and drive like an Indy 500 champion!  He is great in movie after movie that I've bought and this is no exception.  He is called upon by a former military "colleague" who is now in a coma after being accused of shooting five innocent people.  Jack is not actually a friend of or witness to the event, but knows something intimately important about the accused.  Jack does not appear for what you'd expect... initially, but he is a military police investigator who is fair minded and sees more than his beautiful co-star (Rosamund Pike) who portrays the public defender.  Together they find a much more complicated and dark situation that is far from the cut-and-dried case that is publicly portrayed.  LOTS of action by Tom Cruise and plenty of twists and turns will keep you intrigued and waiting for yet more of these stellar performances... two thumbs up!!

Oldie but goodie. Don't be fooled by the (Jack Ryan) part because Jack says like one sentence. His father takes a major role. Great read!

typical Jack Reacher.
No choice between right or wrong.  Jack is going to do the  right thing no matter the consequences. He does not have to consider his job, his obligations, his morgage, car, or even his personal effects.  And the good part is he wins

I am used to the other farm jack that has pins I can manually manipulate to short cut the logic as going up to go down is unacceptable sometimes.
This jack like the other brand has the usual warnings.  THE IMPORTANT ONE IS TO NEVER EVER GET YOUR HEAD IN THE PATH OF THE HANDLE.  The logic will dictate what it is doing based on the selector.  All jacks like this one can suddenly use the load to propel the handle upward at such speed you will not see it coming.  All users over time will learn this the old fashioned way of what hurts gets remembered.
This one is different and I am still getting used to it.
No other kind of jack can do what this one does.  PUSH, PULL, OR  LIFT, 7000 POUNDS.

Knowing that I am retired Navy Captain (and a reader of ALL the Harry Potter books, Moby Dick, and anything by J.R.R. Tolkien), a friend suggested I might like Bloody Jack. I loved it and am now nearing the end of the second book in the series. You can sometimes see the next move coming (no matter, you might guess what's going to happen but you can't wait to turn the page to see it happen). These books are hard to put down. And Jack just can't keep out of mischief.  Like my friend, I am likely to read the entire series (7 or 8 books?) Highly recommended.

Fun to read.  Keeps your interest.  Jack is always into something and in trouble.  Nice twist and turns to keep you guessing at her next move.

If you don't like Jackass, then you shouldn't even begin to watch this movie.

There is plenty of humor within this show if you want to escape into some stupid humor.  It is filled with short bits that contain adult comedy and stunts mixed in.  It does contain some nudity and sexual humor.

If easily offended, move along and try something else.
Otherwise, enjoy most of the bits within this movie.

You can count on Jack Bauer coming back strong after being knocked down by the "bad guys"!
Entertaining and fun!

Very good Jack Reacher novel.  The characters are very well presented, both good and bad.  The action is what you expect with Jack's take no prisoners attitude.  What I like is his laid back attitude and humor even when out of place.  I wish I could watch the movies that were made but just can't with Cruise in the part.

Good stories, Christopher Greyson!  Read one and immediately grateful there's another one to download on my kindle. You're going to have to keep writing, because you have fans waiting....seriously!  No boring women in his books ,and Jack is not too egotistical to let them share the limelight or come to his rescue when some bad guy is beating him to a pulp. He's far from perfect, is sometimes way too  jealous, has no million dollars in the bank, has lost his job as a cop for taking procedures for granted,  yet is an admirable hero whom you can't help but love and want more of.

another excellent addition to the Crispin Guest series.  In this book Crispin and Jack once again are in the wrong place and the wrong time and get caught up with the theft of the stone of destiny which has been stolen by Scottish rebels from it's place of honor under the chair of Kings.
Kings Henry will be very embarrassed if the stone is not found and returned in three days time before an official ceremony.  He tasks Crispin with the job of finding the stone, and to make sure he understands the urgency of the job, the King takes Jack as a hostage and will execute him for treason if the stone isn't found at the end of day three.
With the help of his cross-dressing friend John/Elenore he makes his way back and forth across London dealing with three different Scottish parties who all seem to have different parts of the plan to play, basically the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing.  Will Crispin find the stone in time to save Jack?  You will have to pick up the book for yourself to find out.  As I say with my other reviews for this series, be sure to get the first books and read them in order before enjoying this book, it isn't that the book can't "stand alone" as it's own story, it certainly can, but you will miss out on the richness of all the characters and how all their stories are interwoven together through the series if you just read this book without having the other books in your library to enjoy first.

Jack Reacher finally makes it to Virginia to meet the woman who hes been trying to get to for the last few books, an Army Major (and commander of his old unit) who he only knows as an interesting voice on the phone. When he gets there, shes in jail, Jacks charged with the murder of someone he barely remembers, AND he gets hit with a paternity claim from a woman he doesn't remember at all. Clearly somebodys trying to make Reacher run away and abandon the damsel in distress, and we all know thats not going to happen. Butts are kicked, names are taken, Jack does what Jack does. Its the same old thing, but its the same old great thing. Recommended.

Thank you, thank you to Amazon for heading me to J.A. Konrath and the Jack Daniels series.  Book one WHISKEY SOUR, introduces us to Lt. Jacqueline Daniels as she pursues a killer called the Gingerbread Man.  A very good first effort.  Ok, ok, I am a johnny come lately to it, the book was out in 2005 but what the heck, still outstanding and will go on with the series.  Jack and her partner Herb and Jack's mom, the coroner, and even the property room clerk are fun characters, and in this one the villian is a really bad guy.  Enjoy  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

If you haven't started reading the PRIMAL series then you are missing out. I assume if you're reading this then this is the genre that you read. I have read all of Jack's books and the only problem I have is that they end too soon and knowing this I read every word so I can slow down the end of my enjoying this adventure. Jack is better than most writers at getting his next book out quickly. I am thankful that Jack brought back Ice and Im imagining that he will make him into the 6 million dollar man only better since we now have better technology then they did back when that show was created.
