Persuader Jack Reacher No 7 Lee Child 9780440241003 Books

Jack Reacher is one of those fictional characters I never get tired of. I do have to admit that Persuader wasn't one of my favorites, but I did like it. It's classic Reacher. Lee Child, creator of Jack Reacher, writes about Reacher in such a way that the books can be read in any order, but in case you're counting, Persuader is book seven of twenty (and counting).

As Persuader opens, he has a brief encounter in Boston with a man he killed ten years prior. As he attempts to find out more, he gets caught up in a DEA investigation of a Maine-based rug importer and suspected drug trafficker. DEA agents convince him to go undercover, find an inside track to the rug importer's operation, and find another agent who has disappeared. These rug guys are really bad dudes, and Reacher has a way with really bad dudes. It's a twisting and turning tale, with lots of gun violence and hand-to-hand violence, and, especially, lots of cleverness on Reacher's part.

Things don't turn out like anyone expects, but Reacher gets his man (as Child's readers expect!). Just as in the other Reacher novels, he comes and goes with only the clothes on his back, and in between he picks up what he needs to get the job done. In the end, he drifts away to somewhere else, where eventually he'll get caught up in some other exciting crime-fighting adventure. That ease of drifting away and blending in is one of the things that I like about Reacher, but at the same time bothers me as unbelievable. The other thing is the coincidences that get him into these cases. He kills a guy in California 10 years ago, then randomly runs into him on the street in Boston? Why? In the end, though, I don't really care. It's an unlikely set up, but Child can be forgiven, since the ensuing story is so engaging.

Persuader Jack Reacher No 7 Lee Child 9780440241003 Books Reviews

In the seventh installment in the Reacher saga we find our wandering hero again working for the feds (he might as well just get hired on full time at this rate). This time he’s on a sketchy off the books operation infiltrating the compound of a criminal honcho in a dangerous undercover role.

Well, finally after seven books Lee Child has figured out that Glock pistols don’t have an external safety and even goes into some detail about their two part trigger mechanism. I still don’t think he really understands these types of double action only pistols; he’s got Reacher carrying one in his pocket with a round in the chamber. Without a doubt one of the surest ways of getting a self-inflicted gunshot wound, a pro like JR would never do this especially given how sensitive a trigger pull they have.

There’s a backstory about tank rounds and in particular the Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot (APDS) munition. Supposedly there’s some big secret plan about this technology and enemy attempts to steal them. This book is set around 2003 and all I can say is we had APDS rounds when I served in the Army as a tanker in the mid-70’s and there wasn’t anything classified about them. Other minor things like his describing a female NCO in a Reacher flashback having removed her uniform blouse and having a t-shirt on with name/US Army tapes on it- nobody’s got tapes on their t-shirts. On the side of realism later when the same NCO hints at maybe the two of them start dating he nixes it for the right reasons. Reacher explains it’s unprofessional and that their fraternization will only hurt her career. As his subordinate any future achievements she makes will always have an asterisk next to them because the assumption will be they happened because of his influence and not her talent. Absolutely true!

“Persuader” (named after the Mossberg 12 gauge shotgun) is a classic Reacher tale; a taught, page turner with plenty of suspense, action and violence that fans have come to expect. Lee Child has a gift for telling a story and I’ve already started reading the next in the series.
I have had little experience with Lee Child's Jack Reacher character but after reading Mr. Child's expansive explanation of Reacher, how he was conceived, what expectations he hope to fulfil with a character like this, well.... I think I'm hooked. Although I'm not sure I will ever read all of the Reacher books, the fact that Child has told us that Reacher will win is not a disappointment When I look back at some of my favorite TV series that were based on a hero or heroine, it was comforting that we knew, no matter the odds, that our hero was going to win. That said, Child put's a story togethet that is complex, fast paced, and is full of surprises. In fact, in the Persuader, there are more than one situations that Reacher finds himself in that you wonder....Is Child really going to let him die this way? This book is a great read...cover to cover. It will not disappoint..
The first 5 books in this series are amazing, and I couldn't put them down. After Echo Burning, they begin to get formulaic and dull... Without Fail, and Persuader were snoozers in comparison. One thing I didn't like about this one, is that Lee changes to a "first person" format for some reason, I for some reason, i'm just not "feeling" it. "Make me", which I read out of sequence, was amazing. When Lee Child is inspired, he's great... I hope I come across some inspired writing soon.
I am a Reacher fan. If this had been the first Reacher book I read, I would never have read another. In fact, I would not have made it to the end of this, and that would have been a blessing, because the ending of this book is the stupidest thing I have ever read in Crime Fiction, and that is saying a lot. I have learned from this, however, to avoid any future Reacher books that are written in the first person. That's the easiest prose to write, and apparently it signals that Lee Childs is taking this book off, just churning it out, not wasting any time actually thinking about it. If you're determined to read all of the series, save this one for last.
