I love it when you find a good series of books and the author has developed an awesome character that you just can’t get enough of. That’s how I feel when I hear about a new installment in the Reacher series.
If you’re into espionage and Black ops, this is a great series, plus this new release is full of action. Check out my review below.

SYNOPSIS:
Jack Reacher is hard to find. It’s not easy to track him down. And he likes it that way. But General Susan Turner, based deep inside the Pentagon, has the means and the motive. She needs his help. A member of her team has been brutally murdered on covert duty. She can’t trust anyone she works with, not even her deputy. She needs someone from the outside. Someone who solves problems and disappears without a trace.
Reacher heads to Summertown, Colorado. A town as remote and bizarre as it gets. One diner, one motel, five massive data centers, two giant solar farms humming away in the dust. Total population: four people. And one of them is watching him. But Reacher isn’t built to run. He’s built to finish things. General Turner knows that if they come for Reacher, they’ll regret it—all the way to the top of the chain.
Chain Reaction by Lee Child; Andrew Child Review
Reacher and added associates are kicking tail stateside in a true-to-life, powerful story about data centers that has Jack Reacher racing against time.
In a story that you could actually believe because of the information being written about data centers today, this one could be tomorrow’s headline.
As usual, this one is packed with suspense and tension as he researches a questionable murder and then tries to protect the wife of the victim.
I love the Reacher stories because he is a very unassuming character who is very comfortable knowing his strengths. He’s not afraid of much, very resourceful, and looks at things in a different way. He’s even a bit sexy and hates to stay in one place more than necessary.
I love the tension buildup and the powerful storytelling in these stories by Child. The entertainment factor is high, and the pacing builds the anxiety level, especially at the end. The characters are unique and resourceful. Chain Reaction will not let you down!
Crazy times!
