Jack Reacher is back.
 
The countdown has begun. Get ready for the most exciting 61 hours of your life. #1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child’s latest thriller is a ticking time bomb of suspense that builds electric tension on every page.
 
Sixty-one hours. Not a minute to spare.

A tour bus crashes in a savage snowstorm and lands Jack Reacher in the middle of a deadly confrontation. In nearby Bolton, South Dakota, one brave woman is standing up for justice in a small town threatened by sinister forces. If she’s going to live long enough to testify, she’ll need help. Because a killer is coming to Bolton, a coldly proficient assassin who never misses.

Reacher’s original plan was to keep on moving. But the next 61 hours will change everything. The secrets are deadlier and his enemies are stronger than he could have guessed—but so is the woman whose life he’ll risk his own to save.
 
In 61 Hours, Lee Child has written a showdown thriller with an explosive ending that readers will talk about for a long time to come.

Lee Child on 61 Hours

Every book starts with a grab-bag of ideas. I sat down to write 61 Hours with six things on my mind. First was the title...it just popped into my head and stayed there (and I knew I wanted the 61 to be written in figures, not words, so if you’re the kind of reader who arranges your shelves alphabetically--I apologize!)

Second, I knew it would once again feature Jack Reacher...over the last 13 books he’s built up such enthusiasm and loyalty among readers I knew I’d be crazy not to keep on reporting his adventures.

Thirdly, I knew I wanted very, very cold weather. My fifth book, Echo Burning, was set in the west of Texas in a heat wave, and the extreme temperature was seen as a real character in the story, so I wanted to try the same thing again, but this time at the opposite end of the thermometer. I was a little nervous at first, because one of my early writer heroes was Alistair MacLean, who wrote cold weather so well. But most of his cold stories were set up on the polar ice cap, or above the Arctic Circle, and I knew Reacher would have no reason to go there. In the end I chose South Dakota in the depths of winter as a location, and I’ll know I’ve succeeded if you shiver over every page.

Fourth, fifth, and sixth, I had three names to work with--winners of your-name-as-a-character charity auction lots. A gentleman named Mark Salter helped out with autism research and asked for his mother’s name to be in the book--Mrs. Janet Salter; and then for two separate literacy projects, a man named Andrew Peterson won an auction, and the man who won the other wanted his wife’s name included--Susan Turner. All three winners made very generous donations to the various charities, so I decided it was only fair to make all three into important, central characters.

The only problem was...Mr. Turner asked that the character named after his wife have a romantic entanglement with Reacher. Read 61 Hours to see if he got his wish!

Sixty Hours: Lee Child

This is the fourteenth book in the Reacher series, and one might think, our hero is always a bit 'long in the tooth. Well, think about it. The door is still smarter than Sherlock Holmes and the toughest of Chuck Norris. South Dakota cold, perhaps to drown his bones, but that does not slow it. The wind could cause frostbite tearing eyes, but Reacher is still able to kill the bad guys and charm the ladies. In fact, it could be an author, LeeChildren are always a bit 'Tuckered. This time, Lee is a clock that is ticking inexorably hours of riding left some catastrophic event, but you're 'sposed to read the book to find out what it is. This reader suspects that someone, probably a former policeman who believes that children would be a ticking clock to add tension. Could not be more wrong. The clock speed is the most annoying thing in South Dakota. With each child scene change has made us knowlong before the Big Thing. Big Deal. We know that we will. And if we Reacher Butt will pick the names. And of course it does. What is hard to believe that he keeps them alive. Without doubt, Child has studied what happens when you compile a lighted torch in a mine road with drops of kerosene. And it is easy to think it's very hot there. What is not easy to think that the resulting Really Hot Fire is not the end of the right standard. Even more difficult toI think the Air Force has an underground bunker full of thousands of pounds of Crystal Meth on the promotion of WWII flyer on the left.
The surprising thing is that reading this book, not even blinking when the stuff is flying with you. You are bound a. The type of Reacher distance courtship with a woman at a desk in Arlington, VA, is quite understandable for a guy who throws away his old clothes when they buy new sucked. That has never ReacherArlington VA actually going okay. Reacher is he, after all.
Reading this series is probably a good way to lose weight because you're not going to eat the effort. Really. Forget TV. serious mojo at work here. After a couple of these, one might be tempted to speak and act or be like Reacher. Do not even try. On the way to the library to reach the next to be cool. Be safe.
