Not so cool. This looks like it was written for Tom Cruse --- the poorest choice I can think of as Jack Reacher. Afraid, Lee Child has sold out.

I enjoyed the short Reacher story Second Son that Child wrote so when I saw this was available in our library I was eager to read it. I had to put it on hold and wait a couple of weeks for it to come in but it was worth it.

This is only 53 pages so I easily read it in one sitting. I thought that there were some classic Reacher moments. I have seen that some reviews say that they think this was not one of Child's best efforts but I think that they may just be mad that Tom Cruise was cast in the Ja...more

This short story could be listed as book number 16.5 in the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child - 3 stars. The story is set in the late 1980s while Reacher is still a Captain in the Army. Reacher is assigned to investigate the Army's participants in negotiations with congress over a new proposed sniper rifle - one of them is suspected of giving information from those talks to an Eastern European government. All four of the Army's representatives to the talks are women and Reacher is tasked with "ge...more

My only issue with Jack Reacher after reading Killing Floor, Lee Child's first published book, was the awkward-to-average-at-best writing, and before committing to read the rest of series, I wanted to see if it improved (Spoiler Alert: It doesn't). I figured a good way to do that would be to read something he wrote more recently. And then this short story, starring the very same protagonist and written in 2012, fell into my lap.

I figured a good way to do that would be to read something he wrote more recently. And then this short story, starring the very same protagonist and written in 2012, fell into my lap.

This story has good bones -- it has a compelling lead character, a tight plot, an interesting mystery, believable tension, and a memorable climax -- but comes off the rails due to a few notable shortcomings in the writing. This especially annoyed me because this had such potential to be a tremendously good short story, were it not for these irksome missteps:

1) The opening of the book cuts quickly, and multiple times, between Jack Reacher's point of view and two other points-of-view -- a nameless jogger, and a motorist -- solely to set up the accidental death of the jogger, a character the reader cannot, as she is nameless, yet be invested in. That this happens in a short story, and not a novel, where the author has the benefit of leading the reader on a roundabout path to the central plot of the story, makes it all the more unforgivable, especially in light of one of my other complaints. I am fairly certain the story, as currently constructed, can be read without reading either of those alternate points-of-view with no loss in story or context -- meaning it should have been, at the very least, just cut out, if not edited to be improved.

2) There is a scene where Jack Reacher is talking to his handler just after he finishes reading the four suspects' dossiers -- one of which points out that her grandfather was a high-ranking official in the Soviet military -- and the handler asks Reacher if he sees any red flags. He says no and the handler replies "Neither did we." Mind you, the setting of this short story is 1986 -- when The Cold War was still a very real thing. Whether the suspect is the guilty party, or this is just a red herring, surely this should at least be remarked on by someone of Jack Reacher's implied skill.

3) This story cuts out in the middle of an action sequence, jumps 24-hours and into a foreign country, and proceeds to abruptly end in that paragraph. I had to check back and forth to make sure I hadn't missed something. I know that Kindle Singles -- which this story was released exclusively as -- do not have restricted lengths, but even if the author or his editor had a hard word count for whatever reason, two-thirds of the opening scenes could have easily been edited out to make room to give this story the kind of ending it deserved.

Needless to say, I won't be picking up the Jack Reacher series wholesale and rushing through it, but I wouldn't be opposed to reading another Reacher book if my options were limited, like at an airport or somewhere similar.(less)

I tried with his novel “One Shot” but couldn’t make it past the first few pages of description of a city. Months later I tried again with “Deep Down” a short story featuring Child’s Jack Reacher character and finished it – but only just.

Child writes the blandest, most uninspired and workmanlike prose (prose is barely the word to describe it really, let’s look at the label as a placeholder) I’ve ever read. Actually that’s not true, the last writer I read who wrote like he were writing inter-departmental memos in a law firm was Tom Clancy who also had a penchant for the military.

So the story here is that one of four high-ranking military women is a double agent selling military secrets to the Ruskies and it’s up to Jack Reacher to sit down with them and figure out whodunit. Most of the story is a group of military people sat in a room discussing the pros and cons of certain rifles. I have no interest in guns but Child obviously does and goes into detail on the specs which made me feel like I was reading a catalogue.

And the characters (!) are described as ciphers. One character is described as “woman with fanny pack” throughout and another is “man in car” – it reads like a mathematics problem: woman with fanny pack is running at x speed and man in car is moving at x speed equidistant to blah blah blah. The characters that do have names are the dullest of the dull. They’re all military types so they all speak monotonously, are all uptight, neither displays emotion even at the mention of a colleagues’ death, they are the most boring people ever to feature in a work of fiction.

Except for Jack Reacher whose popularity is utterly inexplicable. He’s described as some kind of superman who sleepwalks through the story showing an astonishing lack of charisma or wit in his numerous dull exchanges with every character he meets. All I know about him is he’s a tough guy and has no personality.

It’s not just the lack of any decent characters or engaging plot that lost me but Child’s terrible writing style which borders on the obsessive. Every detail of every scene – no matter how boring – is noted down. It makes for an awfully dreary reading experience and having gotten a taste of Child’s writing style I can say with confidence I will never read another word by this “writer”. (less)

I like most Reacher books, but not this one.

Am I the only one to shake my head over this book?

Someone is selling military secrets (supposedly the specifications for a sniper rifle). The top military can't work out who it is, so they bring an undercover guy from the military police (Jack Reacher). They've identified four suspects, and Reacher's job is to find out who of the four is guilty.

That's a promising premise.

This was my first experience with a Lee Child book (okay, not a book, a short story, but still) and the character Jack Reacher. I’ve heard such good things about the author/character that I was quite surprised at the lack of excitement, or anything, in this story. I expected more.

The premise in a nutshell: Reacher is called to Washington to investigate a committee hearing on a new sniper rifle. It is being compromised and Reacher must infiltrate (and I use that term loosely because he really doesn’t infiltrate anything although that’s what I was lead to believe) a group of four officers to find the traitor.

For 271 pages (2 hours, or so, of reading time), that’s all I can say. It wasn’t a bad story, it’s just…well…let me explain.

Maybe Child assumes that the reader is already acquainted with the character because I really got nothing as to who/what Jack Reacher is except for the bare minimum (investigator and 6’5” – well that’s how I felt, anyway). Now, I don’t like comparing, but Richard Castle’s Derrick Storm and April Showers were firmly planted in my head by the end of the first book, hell half way through the book, okay Derrick? about a third the way in … okay, the first couple of pages. I was totally connected to them and excited to keep reading … I felt no such connection with Jack Reacher or the story.

Another thing that was hard to muddle through was the lack of dialog tags and I HATE HATE HATE (am I stressing this enough!) criticizing writing style/conventions but I found I had to go back and count forward to make sure I had the right person in my head. That was weird for a well known author, in my opinion anyway.

There was little mystery/thrill and the one part that I thought there might some conspiracy type thrilling stuff (a person of interest dies) it just kinda got left, I mean it was explained but … wow … not exciting at all. The lead up was good, but then it was like a balloon losing air. I thought that maybe I was missing a part of the download.

The end was so quick, now in the defense of any author, you have to sum up a short story quicker, but it was like wham bam thank you ma’am bad sex…left me very unsatisfied. Even the fight scene was less than exciting.

I will HAVE to give a novel a try because I just can’t think that everyone out there who loves the author/character is delusional (and I mean that in the nicest way to all you Child/Reacher fans). Maybe he’s just not great at telling a story in less than 90,000 words.

OKAY - EDIT HERE - I just googled this and, indeed, Child fans would have already known about Reacher (this was a short story in between stories *raises eyebrows* - I must be daft cause I don't get it). So, now I have to say that if this was meant for already established fans who wanted a bit of history (although I didn't see any) then why was this mentioned somewhere by someone selling the book? As an introduction, it doesn't leave a good taste, but perhaps from a seasoned readers point of view it's great. Now I will definitely have to pick up a novel (maybe I'll have the same feeling at that time). *sighs at having to edit a review*(less)

The good thing is that Lee Child doesn’t take them lightly as some other authors do, so after the Second Son, we take yet another brief look into the younger life of his popular hero, Jack Reacher.

The events of this story take place in 1986. Back then Reacher was still a relatively new MP stationed in Germany, but he had already made a name of himself for being able to handle tricky situations.

And it is exactly that, a tricky, or rather complicated situation that calls for him to return, if for a brief amount of time, to Washington D.C. His boss, Military Intelligence Colonel Cornelius Christopher, asks him to take on a mission that at first he doesn’t like, since he has had no time at all to prepare for it.

But, as they say, desperate times call for desperate measures, so Reacher, whether he likes it or not, will do what he’s told. So he’ll put on a custom made and seemingly well worn suit and head for the Capitol building, where a committee is meeting to discuss as to whether or not to allow the manufacture of a new sniper rifle.

The military authorities suspect that a member of the committee is leaking out secrets to the enemy, whoever that may be, and it’s up to Reacher to discover who the guilty party is.

The main suspects are four female officers, political liaisons, each of which is on the fast-track to yet another climb in the hierarchy. They are all ambitious women, who are destined for great things, so the question he has to ask is: which of those would dare jeopardize her entire career in order to sell military secrets?

Things are not easy for Reacher to figure out, but after studying the files of the four women he decides who the most likely suspect might be. An accident though will shred his suspicions to pieces and a couple of small twists and turns will make him change his mind for good.

In the end he just has to use his intellect to find the mole and, spoiler alert, his fists to save himself from the enemies.

A well-crafted story that delivers the goods and which also serves as the means that justify the end: the promotion of Child’s next novel A Wanted Man.

Unimpressive. A bit of Reacher action toward the end, but that was the only bit of note, and it was completely generic. The conversational confrontation with the "villain" was poorly constructed, and explanation was nonsensical (hint: "secret" information should not be blindingly obvious).

For those of us who remember the Cold War, "Deep Down" rings very true. For Jack Reacher fans, it's a fascinating back story depicting the main character in an earlier time of his life. In 52 pages, Lee Child succeeds in creating one of his signature plots in miniature: the convergence of powerful forces, a diabolically clever antagonist, apparently random details that Reacher can read like a road map, violent but justifiable retribution.

I greatly enjoyed this tidy and compelling little story.

As everyone knows, I'm a huge fan of Lee Child's novels. But if this is an example of his short stories and if I were reading Child for the first time, I'd never read another book of his...ever. In my opinion "fate" has no place in mystery/thrillers. The genre depends on plot, the willing choices people make. Eliminating characters as suspects as due to chance beyond anyone's control (say for example, the weather) is a huge no, no for me.

Assessment: barely made it through the short story.

The story had the potential for more. Jack Reacher a captain with the MP is seconded to military intelligence to search as undercover agent for a leak in a capitol task group.
If Mr Child would have used his considerable talent to flesh out the characters and offer a little bit more time on the actual investigation this could have been a nice decent sized novel. So he rushes through the action, of which not a whole lot is happening anyway, and a good plot idea was buried under hasty writing.

If yo are a Reacher fan, then maybe this is for you. If you are interested only because of the Reacher movie and are not familiar with the novels, then I'd give it a miss.

The movie was fast moving. (Violent in parts, but also a clever plot). I will have to be careful to not run up my amazon kindle bill. I think his books are available at the libraries. A little escape reading for one who normally reads more psychological novels.

About Lee Child

Lee Child was born in 1954 in Coventry, England, but spent his formative years in the nearby city of Birmingham. By coincidence he won a scholarship to the same high school that JRR Tolkien had attended. He went to law school in Sheffield, England, and after part-time work in the theater he joined Granada Television in Manchester for what turned out to be an eighteen-year career as a presentation...more

Quotes from Deep Down

“The officers shook hands, and the sniper gave a millimetric nod, which Reacher returned, equally briefly, which for two alleged snipers was effusive, and for a dogface and a jarhead meeting for the first time was practically like rolling around on the floor in an ecstatic bear hug.” — 1 person liked it
