Description

Jack Reacher’s spending the holidays in California. The last thing he expects is a blizzard—or a visit from the world’s deadliest assassin.

Don’t miss the hit streaming series Reacher!

On Christmas Eve, Jack Reacher stumbles into a no-name bar in the California desert, desperate to take refuge from an unexpected snowstorm. Reacher came to Barstow for a little R&R. Instead, he’s sequestered in a dark little roadhouse with a bartender, a bewildered elderly couple—and two members of Britain’s Royal Military Police. They tell Reacher they were escorting a VIP to a top-secret meeting at a U.S. military base when they became separated from their charge. That’s when the threat came in from a notorious assassin: the Christmas Scorpion. Now they need a miracle to save the day. Or maybe all they need is Jack Reacher.

    I warm climate in southern US is where Reacher was headed, only to be surprised by a difficult situation, which he easily remedied.

    Disappointing. This was a short short story. Not a novel, as expected. And over before it started. The Sample for a new Reacher book that was included was nearly longer.

    Very short read. I was expecting more. It was like a little vignette rather than a book.

    For $2 I feel it should have taken longer than 5 minutes to read. No real story line , and it doesn’t portray the jack reacher that I’ve read so much of.
