Book Review: Gone Tomorrow by Lee Child (Jack Reacher 13)

This novel was published in 2009 and I read this in Dubai in 2010. I enjoy the Reacher novels and in some ways I would like to be him, the drifter rolling into town and then rolling out again helping people out in a tough guy way.

Reacher is an ex-army policeman who wanders from place to place and in this novel we find him in New York City. He is on the subway and he recounts that suicide bombers are usually shown to be very nervous and he notices the signs with one of his fellow passengers. How will Reacher tackle this problem as the train gets closer to Grand Central Station.

Needless to say, Reacher gets embroiled in a bigger picture than just this scene on the subway. The writing here is good, you follow Reacher around and vividly see the world through his eyes. You need to read this novel to see Reacher track down and take out the bad guys, leaving the novel in a better way than he found it.

8/10 for me for this one.
