As a big fan of Jack Reacher I must say I was not impressed with Child’s last
novel “Nothing to Lose.”  It was ok, but I felt as if I had read it all before
and I was wondering if the franchise had “jumped the shark.”   I am happy to
report that Reacher is back on track with “Gone Tomorrow.”   I wont say it is
the best reacher novel.  My biggest problem with the most recent Reacher novels
is that the action gets a bit more unrealistic with each new book. One of Jack
Reachers traits was his cold hard logic, but he now seems to get himself into
situations with odds beyond logic.  That being said I really liked the central
plot point of this book: How do you spot a suicide bomber?  It allows Reacher’s
logic to come to the fore.  And of course the book has the typical blistering
pace, some villains you will love to hate, and some interesting twists.  In
spite of my concerns Child’s is one of the top contemporary thriller writers.
