Yes, it's fiction, but no realism and no authenticity in it... because of that and more, I've made my mind, I don't really like Lee Child, even if I wanted to... I may give him, or his books I should say, maybe one or two more chances, just so I can have my conscience clear, just to make sure I don't jump to conclusions too fast, after all Lee Child is still one of the bestselling authors on the New York Times list, but still, this character is way too much to swallow if you're looking for quality... and I for one I am looking for quality and I got used with writers in a totally different league all by themselves... A] feverishly thrilling series . . . With Child, you can always count on furious action.” —The Miami Herald Watchlist (2010) Print edition of previously audio-only serialized novels The Chopin Manuscript (2007) and The Copper Bracelet (2009). So, in the end this is 4 different stories of varying quality. The average score of this collection is 3 stars out of 5.I can't really find anything about this short story to recommend it. Reacher is called from Germany to go undercover in a congressional hearing regarding a new sniper rifle. Military Intelligence thinks that there is a leak as to the specs of that rifle. Reacher's job is to find the leak.

Match Up (June 2017) Lee co-wrote a story with Kathy Reichs, titled “Faking a Murderer” which features Reacher and Temperance Brennan. Thriller (2006) Contains an edited version of “James Penney’s New Identity” originally published in Fresh Blood 3. A] feverishly thrilling series . . . With Child, you can always count on furious action." —The Miami Herald A good reading buddy of mine sent me a note that said I need to get caught up on my Reacher reading. So, here I go. Trying to get a start on that goal. Child writes the blandest, most uninspired and workmanlike prose (prose is barely the word to describe it really, let’s look at the label as a placeholder) I’ve ever read. Actually that’s not true, the last writer I read who wrote like he were writing inter-departmental memos in a law firm was Tom Clancy who also had a penchant for the military.It's a hearing before a procurement committee on the Hill, and there's a suspicion that one of the liaison officers is selling the design to a foreign manufacturer. FaceOff (June 2014) Lee and Joseph Finder co-wrote the story “Good and Valuable Consideration” which pairs Reacher with Finder’s Heller. What can I say, it's a Reacher...and he figures it out so easily while I'm sitting here totally stupid. I liked how Child informed us of Reacher's character with his mouthing off to Christopher, his observational skills in figuring out what Christopher's hand movements mean. Without being an info dump, it tells us that Reacher is very good at his job. In Sunlight or In Shadow: Stories Inspired by the Paintings of Edward Hopper (December 2016) Lee’s story is “The Truth About What Happened” based on the painting “Hotel Lobby” (1943). Reacher meets a woman with a problem, and agrees to help her . . . and then the power grid fails and the lights go out, plunging the lawless city that never sleeps into chaos.
