Loading... Die Trying (1998)by Lee Child
Jack Reacher sees a woman who needs help. She has an injured leg and is trying to carry her laundry. Reacher stops to help, and at that moment the woman is abducted, because Reacher is there, he is too. The woman turns out to be an FBI agent and the Kidnappers are Militia men who want to start there own country. Thus begins an exciting novel involving the action, adventure, betrayal, and loyalty. ( )Die Trying by Lee Child presents our resident hero Jack Reacher landing into an unexpected situation, held hostage by a fringe militia group that thinks the UN is really running the US... and if you have not heard of these types of groups, believe me, they exist in their delusions. Anyway, the format holds -- Reacher, the tall, tough, smart, and handsome guy has to get his bearings, match wits with other smart guys, and, of course, save a damsel in distress (who also is a love interest). While a bit formulaic, the storytelling is quite enjoyable, the research impeccable, and the thrills and twists enjoyable. Once you get to a certain point in his books, you have a very hard time putting the book down until you've finished it. OK and I might give another Reacher novel a try. I got a little tired of all of the build up and militia scenes in the woods but a good vacation or flight read. Militia trying to start their own country in Montana with lots of guns and a bad attitude. Jack Reacher stops them after getting kidnapped by mistake. Big mistake! Hostage stories always make for gripping reading, and this was no exception. Tense, and very interesting as to how Jack Reacher observes and calculates everbody and every situation. with the odd misplaced and unnecessary sex thrown in., which is my only quibble. no reviews | add a review Is contained in
