Fifteen years and sixteen novels later, Reacher still lives off the grid, until trouble finds him, and then he does whatever it takes, much to the delight of readers and the dismay of villains.

Now someone big is looking for him. And why? Otto and Gaspar are by-the-book hunters who know when it's necessary to break the rules, but they Don't Know Jack. Reacher is a stone cold killer. Is he their friend or their enemy? Read more Find a copy online Links to this item OverDrive overdrive. Show all links.

Disappointed in the conclusion as the book uses the search for Reacher to delve into another mystery and at times begins to lose focus. Still, I think this is a clever idea and will look forward to other titles in this series. However, my excitement was a little diminished as I read.

One reason I'm glad I read it is t I was relieved, also, to find at the end that Lee Child had, indeed, endorsed Ms Capri's books. Download links for: Don't Know Jack Advertising. Online stores:. She gulped air, hungry for it.

She opened her eyes again. Saw Roscoe still belted in her seat, conscious. Kim struggled upright in her own seat. Took her hands off her ears. There were fires outside the Town Car. There were muffled noises. There were pieces, chunks, slabs of things scattered everywhere. There were burning vehicles. There was smoke too thick to see through. Both tow trucks were covered in flames. Tow trucks usually carried extra gasoline. Apr 08, Jerry B rated it it was ok. Perhaps the most compelling thing to wonder about this book is why Lee Child let her write it!

Featuring two FBI agents who are supposed to be top players, but rather seem mostly incompetent, there is really herein almost no character or no story-line to really like. We wound up feeling cheated, and frankly mostly bored in this embarrassment to one of our favorite characters ever. That there are now 13 more of these published is virtually unbelievable. Just a terrible book. Dialog is awful.

Character's make comments that are out of left field and reference character's that the reader could have no idea who they are. Several times it seems like a character's name changes multiple times during a chapter. Plot is nonsense. The involvement of the character of Jack Reacher from Lee Child's novel's is an obvious money grab.

It was the only reason I picked it up and I imagine it's the only reason most people did. I rated it a one star, but it doesn't Just a terrible book. I rated it a one star, but it doesn't even deserve that.

May 27, D-Ray rated it did not like it. This is a boring poor man's fan fiction that uses incidents of past Reacher novels and side characters you can barely remember to paint over an incredibly weak thriller.

I didn't care for this one at all and this will be my first and last dip into the franchise. I'm sticking with the real deal: Child's Reacher. They keep getting sent to places all over the country in their search but it seems all roads lead back to Margrave. Lots of life and death situations, drama and interrogations.

A series I think I want to read more of. Jul 12, Mary rated it it was ok Shelves: mystery , series , kindle , re-reading , thriller. I want to like this. But there is no plot, no explanation for anything, and who are these characters who appear part way through? Very confusing. Agents Kim Otto and Carlos M. Gaspar both receive calls on anonymous and untraceable cell phones at roughly am in different parts of the country. They are to meet at the Atlanta airport planes will be held for them and start building a file on, and trying to locate Jack Reacher.

A person who is completely off the radar, and no one knows where he is or if he's alive. They are given no further information. They are directed to Margrave, GA. They are immediately given the runaround by the local sheriff, and tried to be run out of town by the local GHP. With encountering multiple murders, missing suspects, explosions, and no cooperation of any kind from the local police, along with an un-named boss who seems to know where they are at all times, and pushing them to try harder, until Otto goes off the playbook and decides she is going to do the job they were told to do.

No matter what. This is a nonstop, fast paced story, with more twist in it than should be allowed. The concept is clever: With the permission of wildly successful author Lee Child, his signature character Jack Reacher and novels in which he appeared become a key piece of a new but related series. In addition to having Reacher in the background as the draw for a huge existing audience of readers , the writing style attempts to channel Lee Child: crisp detail creating an absorbing story, great characters, and frenetic pace.

For me, the net result is a fail. It just didn't meet any of the expec The concept is clever: With the permission of wildly successful author Lee Child, his signature character Jack Reacher and novels in which he appeared become a key piece of a new but related series.

It just didn't meet any of the expectations a reader would reasonably have, given the beloved known character and the blessing of his creator. A mighty attempt to give the reader some engaging characters, an interesting plot, and page turning action just doesn't deliver.

I dragged myself to the end of this effort, mainly to confirm that I can abandon the rest of this series without regret. Capri was also a new to me author, so not having read any of her other books, I was not disappointed. The storyline did keep my interest but not enough to say I couldn't put it down. The characters were okay, although I was a little frustrated at times with Kim, the alpha female as Gaspar says. Some of the plot points were a little hard to believe but again this was fiction.

Overall not a bad read by no means and I wasn't disappointed. There were a few twists and turns which created a bit of mystery for me. What I don't like: view spoiler [I'm as befuddled at the end as I was at the beginning: what is the purpose of the story? This story is as convoluted as Lee Child's Reacher series: details unravel and then come together in the most unusual fashion, which keeps me turning the pages. I would read a book featuring these two characters if Reacher were left out of it.

Oct 07, Abibliofob rated it really liked it Shelves: reacher. A brand new series where we follow FBI agents Otto and Gaspar in their search for Reacher who is supposedly thought of for a covert assignment.

I really love this series and the widening of the Reacher universe. Boring rubbish trading on the Reacher name - it just never goes anywhere. View 2 comments.

So when I found out that this book revisited those events and moved the story forward I couldn't pass it up. I'm assuming that Capri worked with Lee Child somehow to determine how the lives of Roscoe and Finlay develop after the original novel.

I found some of the choices surprising and bit outlandish, but I went with it. And the current mystery playing out of the original events was interesting It all just came together and played out too quickly for my taste - it felt rushed like dominoes cascading in a frenetic line. I did grow to like the characters of Otto and Gaspar throughout the novel. They had interesting personalities and their interactions were generally pretty fun to read.

While the characters have a serious side, there was a lot of humor between them and in their dialogue, so those two actors would be perfect if there was ever a Jack Reacher side movie made! There were too many things that just played oddly for me - such as the mysterious boss; revealing the boss as almost a throw-away; dismissing the actual killer as so much immaterial at the end of the book; and the fact that a prostitute is also a skilled pilot made my head spin.

While I would say I mostly had fun reading this book, I'm not sure I'll come back for the future installments. The curiosity wore off by end and the need to suspend disbelief is much bigger than a regular Reacher novel. My current interest has been satisfied, so I may just go back to Reacher and his regular exploits. Shelves: police-cia-thrillers. Don't Know Jack is the first book in the series and follows on from events in Margrave, Georgia that Reacher brought his special brand of justice to, in Childs' Killing Floor.

Anorexic files on Reacher's Army career and honorable discharge from it years earlier are of little help and witnesses from the period seem reluctant to elaborate. When Supervisor Duffy arrives she seems just as keen as the locals for the pair to leave as quickly and unenlightened as when they arrive I read this out of curiosity; pretty convinced I would hate it, but I just couldn't pass it up. I started out hating it. Who did this author think she was?? Then, Kim and Gaspar slowly grew on me.

I liked the details Ms. Capri brought in from that first Reacher book, but made her own. The story was more than plausible. And whoa Readers know what I mean!

By the end, it was a great story, completely new and stand-alone, but interwoven with someone we know. M I read this out of curiosity; pretty convinced I would hate it, but I just couldn't pass it up. My 'gotta read them' list is already drowning me, but this series may just have to be added.
