It's just a voice plucked from the air: 'The American wants a hundred million dollars'. For what? Who from? It's 1996, and the Soviets are long gone. But now there's a new enemy. In an apartment in Hamburg, a group of smartly-dressed young Saudis are planning something big. In the morning they gave Reacher a medal, and in the afternoon they sent him back to school. Jack Reacher is fresh off a secret mission. The Army pats him on the back and sends him to a school with only three students: Reacher, an FBI agent, and a CIA analyst. Their assignment? To find that American. And what he's selling. And to whom.

Thoughts

Another prequel story for Jack Reacher, going back to his military days and plunging him into a top secret mission. This one felt a bit different as we followed Reacher trying to unravel the mystery and gradually figuring out what was going on after a few dead ends. It was great to have some of the band back together - always enjoy it when Neagley is playing a major part in things. I love that it was basically a paperwork issue that has almost brought down the entire world, but luckily Reacher figures it out in time and saves the day - hooray!
