The Jack Widow Series: Books 1-3 (The Jack Widow Series Collection Book 1)

Product Information

But that's all I'll write on that. I did enjoy this book, and I really wanted to give it three stars, but there are too many technical errors and such. Weirdly enough it seemed the second half was more polished than the first half, and Widow seemed more believable as Blade got the hang of the character. The writing became tighter, too. On arrival he upsets the local cops (obviously) and the local gang of nutcases (obviously) and of course starts a relationship with a lady doctor at a local clinic. And then the bad guys roll in to clean up their mess and the body count rises. While much of the story is far-fetched, it's enjoyable and the plot twists keep the interest up. However, some potholes really interfere with fully engaging in the book. For example, opening the first chapter, the author describes Widow: "He stood six feet tall, only not then, because right then, he wasn’t standing." Fortunately, not much prose like that, though the effect persisted for some time. Four-screen dashboard (Four screen viewing, based on 28-day data) - BARB". www.barb.co.uk . Retrieved 29 May 2019.

Turns out that the US government needs Widow's help. He's the only man alive to ever survive an encounter with their only suspect: a whisper, a phantom, a ghost sniper, known as Rainmaker.

Andrews AFB to Lakenheath is 3,600 miles. A five hour flight would have a top speed of around 800 mph Widow passes through DC. Hanging out, reading the morning paper. He learns about a homeless vet found burned alive on a park bench. The Vet has no known family. No one’s expected to attend his wake. Widow must go. I think if Widow could have watched this from the sidelines like we readers do, he'd shake his head and say, "never let facts get in the way of a good story" but he doesn't have that luxury. When you reach that point you'll know why you needed to read this book and then you'll plow on because you'll need to know if the implications match your expectations. After showing Widow a picture of her six-year-old granddaughter, Claire Hood drops dead of natural causes, right at the bus station, right in front of him.

There is a gentle mutual affection between Widow and another character, a painful past, and a high body count. And of course, there is the.... This is further enhanced by narrator Aden Philip Ormond's excellent interpretation of this lead protagonist. The reading is well paced, not too fast, not too emotionally imbued but just right for the military trained loner rediscovering his past and his understanding of just how much he owed to his mother in the last precious moments they are able to have together. Her death is his new beginning as sets out in search of her killer. With expression and good intonation, Orson's pleasant rough velvety voice also gives individual life to each of the other characters in the book also. Writer and narrator in harmony together. A mistaken arrest puts Widow into the Miami criminal system. A mysterious phone call from the US Secret Service and Widow is on his way to D.C. to face a covert emergency. I personally like the feeling of familiarity, the comfort of knowing that I'm in for an enjoyable read and I wasn't disappointed. A deadly range. The world record for longest range of a sniper kill shot. Ever. No contest. No question. What happens when a new sniper comes along and takes out the world's top shooters from further away? Terror.

Towards the middle to end of this one makes me feel like the Incredible Hulk I used to watch on TV where at the end of every episode he would tell everyone thanks but no thanks and then head out of town which is exactly what our hero does. He recognizes a total stranger, but from where? The stranger goes by one name but has the face of another. Gilbert, Sophie (3 March 2019). "The Clumsy Predictability of 'The Widow' ". The Atlantic .

The implications of the reveal in that chapter had me scanning my memory banks of every Reacher book for the one, in particular, that would provide the answers to all the questions running through my mind. Taken to be a worthless drifter by the locals, Widow uses his skills to uncover the truth about his mother’s last investigation. What was she looking for?Some local townspeople want to blame Muslims. The politicians want to blame guns. The outside media only care about the headlines.
