Jack Reacher is a former major in the US Military Police who, since leaving the army, has drifted round the wide open spaces of America, hitchhiking or on buses, wherever the whim takes him. He has no permanent address, no job, no family ties, no car, no luggage, no mobile phone, no credit card - all he carries with him is a folding toothbrush. 
Reacher is never looking for trouble, but somehow trouble always find him. He is the ultimate hero for our troubled times, with a keen moral compass and sense of justice, even if he is often prepared to take the law into his own hands: he says he doesn't want to put the world to rights, he just doesn't like people who put it to wrongs.

I loved The Sentinel! Classic Reacher, great story. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

The Sentinel shows that two Childs are even better than one.

The one man revenge machine seems revitalised. Great stuff.

Thoroughly entertaining . . . when the world is crumbling, it's good to have some of Reacher's brutal certainties back.

It's great to be back in Reacher's company in a world where the bad guys get what's coming to them. A smooth transition for a much-loved character.

The collaboration here produces vintage Reacher.

Reacher is satisfyingly ice cold in combat and full of good human feelings when necessary. It works.

Lots of action . . . one of the most inventive action sequences in recent memory . . . [The Sentinel] continues the series without any sense that there's now a coauthor. In a year of drastic change, fans will welcome the consistency.

Fresh, perfectly plotted, and packed with action, The Sentinel is one of the year's best, must-read thrillers . . . and proves that this series is primed to continue on at the highest level for many years to come.

The Sentinel is a butt-kicking, take-no-prisoners thriller that satisfies on every page.

If this novel is a harbinger of what's to come, then Jack is in good hands.
