Night School, by Lee Child, is a Jack Reacher series novel, which goes back to the Reacher’s US Army Military Police days – essentially a flashback to 1996. The book was published in 2016, and I just finished the audiobook on the OverDrive app, which is free to use through my library subscription. Here is a prior post I made about the OverDrive app if you were interested: https://steemit.com/reading/@brian.rrr/overdrive-app-ebooks-audiobooks

I give this book a B+, as it was very entertaining and I liked the storyline and suspense. There are a few graphic/gruesome parts, so reader beware if you consider reading this novel. It was a good change of pace from most Reacher books, which take place much later in his life where he is roaming the US and finding trouble. Overall, it is a worthwhile thriller to read, and you do not need to have read any of the prior 20 Jack Reacher novels in order to enjoy this one.

The book has Reacher using his military police skills to hunt down a rouge member of the armed forces and thwart an international terror attack. The book takes place primarily in Hamburg, Germany (shout out to my new Steemit friend @renej who lives there in real life) and involves a series of great characters and scenes. It is classic Reacher – the most confident, smartest, and toughest guy around who is able to charm all the women and will all the fights. Does Reacher save the world? I guess you will have to read/listen to find out! (Ha, don’t kid yourself, he always does, but it is still entertaining to find out how!)

Let me know if you have already read this one or if you now plan to!
