BarryP (barrypz) | 3520 comments Reacher's world is about to undergo its biggest upheaval yet, as Lee Child is fully stepping away from the character.

Child made the announcement during the release of the latest Jack Reacher book, Exit Strategy. "My entire ambition was to give the character away," he told USA Today. Even though Child has fully retired from writing, he's passed on the Reacher novels to his younger brother Andrew, who fully wrote Exit Strategy and its predecessor, The Sentinel. This doesn't answer the lingering question on fans's minds; what will happen to the Reacher series

Ann (annrumsey) | 17113 comments I checked my review of the last Reacher book, The Sentinel - I gave it four stars. I’m ‘2 weeks’ away on the new one.
“Lots of bad guys, plenty of Reacher interactions with said bad guys. (The usual formula, come to town, plan to leave, stick around to help, clean up a situation)
the brothers (authors) seem to be working out their collaboration.”

So am I. I sent an email to Goodreads customer service last Friday. They are aware of the problem and are working on a resolution. The tech had me clean out my cache which helped for a time. But last night it was bad again.
