"Discover the thriller series that The New York Times calls "utterly addictive." After eleven straight global #1 bestsellers, Lee Child sends readers back to school with the most explosive Jack Reacher novel yet. It's 1996, and Reacher is still in the army. In the morning they give him a medal, and in the afternoon they send him back to school. That night he's off the grid. Out of sight, out of mind. Two other men are in the classroom--an FBI agent and a CIA analyst. Each is a first-rate operator, each is fresh off a big win, and each is wondering what the hell they are doing there. Then they find out: A Jihadist sleeper cell in Hamburg, Germany, has received an unexpected visitor--a Saudi courier, seeking safe haven while waiting to rendezvous with persons unknown. A CIA asset, undercover inside the cell, has overheard the courier whisper a chilling message: "The American wants a hundred million dollars." For what? And who from? Reacher and his two new friends are told to find the American. Reacher recruits the best soldier he has ever worked with: Sergeant Frances Neagley. Their mission heats up in more ways than one, while always keeping their eyes on the prize: If they don't get their man, the world will suffer an epic act of terrorism. From Langley to Hamburg, Jalalabad to Kiev, Night School moves like a bullet through a treacherous landscape of double crosses, faked identities, and new and terrible enemies, as Reacher maneuvers inside the game and outside the law. Praise for #1 bestselling author Lee Child and his Jack Reacher series "Reacher [is] one of this century's most original, tantalizing pop-fiction heroes."--The Washington Post"-- "In the morning, they gave Reacher a medal. That night, they sent him back to school. With eleven straight #1 New York Times bestsellers and over 100 million books sold, Jack Reacher is "the strongest brand in publishing" (Forbes Magazine). And Night School, with Reacher back in uniform, will be the biggest Reacher adventure of them all"--… (more)

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Have to go back to Jack Reacher #1 and read through the series. ( )

Very disappointing. Do not waste your time. A very thin plot, few "Reacherisms"....... I finished reading this book because it is Jack Reacher. I would not have been able to rate this book in my reading log as I would have given it a DNF-DNC rating. Did not finish - did not care. ( )

Reacher goes back to the last days of his army career. Nice read. ( )

This story takes place while Reacher is still a Major in the Army. He gets sent to Germany to investigate some unknown person of interest. There’s a lot of the unknown in this story. The entire plot is about guesswork and assumptions as Jack and his team hunt for the unknown man doing something they’re unsure of. It all ties up in the end, but getting there is repetitious and sometimes dull. Some of Mr. Child’s previous books were much more interesting. ( )

This is not a typical Jack Reacher book. But you'll get no complaints from me. He's still a badass and this flashback story helps you understand how and why he got to be such a badass. Or not. It's is just a story and he's still Reacher. This entry drops Reacher into a typically mysterious situation and forces him to use his wits, strict code of honesty and fists to uncover the mystery and force the bad guys out into the open. I found it compelling and entertaining.

Disclosure: Thank you to Netgalley and Ballantine/Random House for providing a free copy of this book in return for my honest review. ( )
