Summary: Jack Reacher Returns "Without Fail"
Comment: Jack Reacher, the ex-military cop who travels around the country without real estate taxes or luggage is back! Once again he saves the day without any real base of operations or a staff to call his own. He is just bigger than life and the best fantasy hero yet. Jack's brother, Joe, was a Treasury Dept employee who was murdered on the job. Joe's former girlfriend, M.E. Froelich, is the new head of the Secret Service Detail for the Vice President Elect Brook Armstrong. Froelich is concerned about assassination threats against Armstrong and remembers that Joe had once suggested the only way to check out how good their security was would be hire someone from the outside. Froelich locates Jack Reacher and the story takes off with the suspense as compeling as the previous Jack Reacher books. Jack, as usual, arrives on the job without a change of clothes, but this time he has his dead brother's old clothes to choose from as he begins a working relationship with Froelich that quickly turns into a personal one. The clothes selection lasts about as long as it take Reacher to solve the case. He calls in an old colleague from his military days who just happens to be available to consult on the case. It's farfetched; but it works and the book is a great read. Hopefully Reacher will continue wandering around the United States solving problems and being the central point of books to come.

Summary: Lee Child At His Best
Comment: Some people want Vice President-elect, Brook Armstrong dead. They tried to kill him in September. They had the silencer on the gun and the perfect location but the bullet missed. No one in the crowd heard the gun shot. Armstrong's hair stirred as the bullet moved past him but he thought it was nothing more than the wind. The attempt was a failure and no one noticed. They would try again. Soon. ...
So begins Lee Child's newest and best book to date, WITHOUT FAIL. ...This is the sixth in the series.
WITHOUT FAIL takes the readers behind the scenes of the Secret Service and shows us how they react to situations, why they do what they do to protect the people they're hired to protect, and we also get to see the measures they go through to do their job successfully.
Lee Child's books get better and better with each addition to the series. WITHOUT FAIL is a real page-turner with plenty of excitement all through it. Child has not only made a detailed study of his character, but he has delved into the workings of the military and government. Yes, on occasion Reacher and Neagley sometimes seem to have superhuman powers, but the readers will willingly forgive those moments to cheer on the heroes of this story.
This new fast paced novel not only keeps you on your toes trying to figure out who wants to kill the Vice President-elect but also keeps you wondering why. Child gives us the answers to the questions as the book progresses. We start to understand how personal childhood experiences control our actions as adults.
In WITHOUT FAIL, Child has written a wonderfully thrilling story. I highly recommend this well written book.

Summary: Layer Upon Layer of Mystery and Violence
Comment: This is a complex thriller, and in it we see Jack Reacher a little differently than we have in previous outings. He has been asked by a woman who was involved with his now-dead brother to help her find weak spots in the Secret Service protection of a newly-elected Vice-President. This meeting with M.E. Froehlich opens up a little of Jack's history to us and the life that he and his older brother led while they were growing up as army brats in various army bases throughout the world. We also see Jack request the aid of a former co-worker from the army. Neagley is the female equivalent of Jack - brilliant, well-trained and and cool. Jack and Neagley make a formidable team. Not only do they find the weaknesses in the Secret Service protection detail, they hunt down and take retribution themselves on the bad guys that not only threatened the Vice-President, but who hurt and killed people who were close to them. Child's writing his spare and chilling. Yes there is violence, but it's not over-drawn and seems to flow as part of the story and helps build the terrible tension that is simmering throughout the whole book. His form of writing keeps the reader hurriedly turning pages to find out what happens next.
