Product Description
Riding the subway in New York at two o'clock in the morning, Reacher knows the twelve giveaway signs to look out for. Watching one of his fellow-passengers, he becomes sharply aware: one by one, she ticks off every bulletpoint on his list.
Amazon.co.uk Review
Lee Child has steadily accrued one of the keenest groups of admirers for any contemporary thriller writer – and the reason is easy to discern. In such gritty and authoritative novels as Tripwire, Killing Floor and Die Trying, Child established his tough itinerant protagonist Jack Reacher as a key modern hero, with a taciturn, hard-boiled appeal that has not palled over many books (though some have queried Jack’s transformation from a man who triumphed -- with difficulty – over insuperable odds – into a nigh-invulnerable super-hero). But the narrative grasp of the author remains absolutely iron-clad, and there are the stunningly drawn American locales that are so notably impressive from an English author. In the latest outing for Jack Reacher, Gone Tomorrow, Child’s resourceful hero is travelling in New York City, observing his fellow passengers on the subway. He’s aware that suicide bombers are easy to spot – they’re usually nervous, and (as he wryly notes) by definition they're first-timers. As an ex-law enforcer, Jack notices that of his five fellow travellers, one is distinctly giving out the signals that spell danger. Grand Central Station is approaching – will Jack act and save lives – including his own? But⦠what if he's wrong? This high voltage situation is the arresting curtain opener here, and the tension is screwed tighter, as Jack Reacher is pitched against the one of the most challenging threats he has come up against. Gone Tomorrow has all the dynamism of Child’s earlier work; spruced-up, super-charged and showing no sign of age. --Barry Forshaw

I have enjoyed all the Jack Reacher novels previously but had to bin this one as it was going nowhere fast. Lee Child can do better than this,
His worst yet! July 29, 2010
BrightonBoxer
Plumbing new depths not seen since Echo Burning this is devoid of imagination and left me completely disappointed, I love most of Childs other books (Echo Burning ,the one about the paint in the bath and the one with human trafficing in the desert and burnt out tanks withstanding!) this is shocking though! Potential terroist attack in New York, shockk horror! Formulaeic and merely writing by numbers, his worst yet smacks of laziness and complaceny. Thats 3 rubbish books in an otherwise good series
Good thriller, easy read July 26, 2010
Thomas Heneghan (Dublin Ireland)
This pretty much stays to the formula of all the other books with Jack Reacher. The books moves along at a good pace with some nice twists & turns in the story which keeps you guessing. My only criticism was the whole "suicide bomber" premise which is a bit weak in an otherwise strong outing for Jack R!
