![]() ![]() It is more confident and precise than before. Two things make this book more interesting to me than some of its predecessors: the first is the writing. In “Persuader” Reacher’s body-count is almost as high as in the first book, “Killing Floor” but it’s OK because they all deserve to be dead, “No doubt about it” as Reacher would say. Of course “Persuader” also refers to Jack Reacher himself, who also has the ability to bring destruction and death to those around him. After that, the clock is ticking and the pace doesn’t let up until what needs to be done has been done. The action explodes off the first page with an opening scene that will surprise and trouble Jack Reacher fans. ![]() The novel shares the destructive energy of the shotgun. The “Persuader” title seems to be a reference to a shotgun that appears in the book and which has tremendous go-through-walls destructive power. ![]() This is the seventh book in the series and I think it is the best so far. ![]() “Persuader” has everything you want in a Jack Reacher novel: tense action from page one a satisfyingly twisty plot sadistic, violent bad guys an honourable, violent good guy beautiful, competent women who need to be revenged or saved and lots and lots of detailed descriptions of guns. ![]()
