Bad Luck and Trouble by Lee Child


This is book number 11 in the Jack Reacher series by Child. It was my first one. I love to start in the middle of a series and see if the book will stand on its own as a 'good' one. This one fits the bill! It seems the hero, Jack Reacher, has no home, no worldly goods and no place to lay his head, but he's part of a special team that 'No one messes with special teams' seems to be in a serious trouble. Half the team assembles and they begin to try to solve the riddle of what has happened to their compatriots. Terrorism, violence, murder. Everything points to an attack on US commercial airplanes. The bad guy is not just a part of some terrorist cell, he's, well...maybe that's giving away too much. If you don't want to start with number 11 I still recommend Lee Child. Go ahead, pick up the first Jack Reacher book and work your way to this one. If you're already a fan, you will enjoy this one as well.
