Jack Reacher. Hero. Loner. Soldier. Soldier's son. An elite military cop, he was one of the army's brightest stars. But in every cop's life there is a turning point. One case. One messy, tangled case that can shatter a career. Turn a lawman into a renegade. And make him question words like honor, valor, and duty. For Jack Reacher, this is that case.
Content warning Mild spoiler
The Enemy takes Reacher back to 1990, when he's still in the army, still an MP. Still follows the Reacher formula though: he sleeps with the girl, doesn't seem to get anywhere for a while, then makes a series of leaps but doesn't tell others until he gets his ducks lined up.
This is probably my least-favorite Jack Reacher book so far (or maybe tied with Without Fail). It's the 12th full-length Reacher book I've read. [I'm not a fan of the short stories. There's not enough time to get serious and flesh things out.]
If one took a drink every time Child writes "I/she/he/Summer/the guy said nothing," one would need emergency care. It has a place in the story, but every other sentence in some sections is too much. We get it!
