This is one of the worst books I have ever read.

He is the toughest guy of all the tough guys. He wants to wash away the stink of death. Medals are not important but they impress people who are impressed by things like that. That is supposed to make the reader feel like things are happening. Only read it if you like Reacher so much that you would still find a cheap, worse-for-you knock off delicious. This book is like store-brand slightly stale, not-quite-correctly flavored and/or textured corn chips instead of Fritos. Remember that time when Reacher, man I gotta stop doing that, Puller had all that nuclear training which would qualify him to disarm a mysterious nuke acquired by an industrialist and set to blow up a whole damn industrial town? Yeah, me either. The first half of this Reacher Puller novel rolls around quite nicely, with Reacher damn, sorry, Puller punching bad dudes, making out with the lady cops, and generally being the badass that he has been in all the other Reacher novels never has been before, because this is the first Puller novel. His brother was a top officer who worked in top secret investigaions and eventually died was a top officer who worked in top secret nuclear stuff and was convicted of treason. Jack Reacher John Puller comes from a military family. Reacher sorries, Puller is a big dude, and he likes to punch people. Jack Reacher John Puller is a crackerjack military investigator, who heads out of the DC area to the south, to check out the death of a senior officer in unsavory conditions.
