#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Don’t miss the hit streaming series Reacher! Never Go Back is a novel of action-charged suspense starring “one of the best thriller characters at work today” (Newsweek). Former military cop Jack Reacher has arrived at the headquarters of the 110th MP, his old unit near Washington, D.C., the closest thing to a home he ever had. He’s there to meet—in person—the new commanding officer, Major Susan Turner, so far just a warm, intriguing voice on the phone. But Turner isn’t there and Reacher is shocked to be charged with a crime with serious consequences. When threatened, you can run or fight. Reacher fights, aiming to find Turner and clear his name, barely a step ahead of the army, and the FBI, and the D.C. Metro police, and four unidentified thugs. It is a race for the truth that will make Reacher question who he is, what he’s done, and the very future of his untethered life on the open road.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

A breathless cross-country spree . . . some of the best, wiliest writing [Lee] Child has ever done . . . Child’s bodacious action hero, Jack Reacher, has already tramped through 17 novels and three e-book singles. But his latest, Never Go Back, may be the best desert island reading in the series. It’s exceptionally well plotted. And full of wild surprises. And wise about Reacher’s peculiar nature. And positively Bunyanesque in its admiring contributions to Reacher lore. —Janet Maslin, The New York Times  
Welcome to the relentless world of Jack Reacher and his impressive tendency to be in the wrong place at the right time. . . . Child has created an iconic character that other thriller writers try to emulate but don’t come close to matching. He has a talent for taking material that in the hands of other authors would be stale and making it seem fresh. . . . Tight and compelling . . . Never Go Back is one of Child’s best novels. —Associated Press  
An adrenaline-charged, action-packed thriller . . . impossible to put down. —Lansing State Journal  
For the pure pleasure of uncomplicated, nonstop action, no one touches Reacher. —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)  
Brilliant . . . Child never, ever slips. He keeps the action cranking better than anyone, but, best of all, he keeps us guessing about Reacher. —Booklist (starred review)

“The dialogue has never been sharper or more entertaining. The pages turn themselves.” —San Antonio Express-News
“Manhunts on both coasts, a link to corruption in Afghanistan in the wake of the US military drawdown, and the possibility for romance between Reacher and Turner make this entry one of the best in the series.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Child…keeps us guessing about Reacher…Child has spent seventeen novels committing his hero to the call of the wild, and now he dangles a dinner date and a possible daughter in front of the howling wolf? Brilliant.” —Booklist (starred review)
